The Church shall therefore have an office of Bishop entrusted with authority and oversight concerning the Teachings and Spiritual matters. CHAPTER 2:       THE FAITH AND DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH 2.1        The foundation upon which the Church stands is Jesus Christ, the Word of God as proclaimed in the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, which we believe to be correctly explained by the three ecumenical symbols, namely the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed and the writings of the Lutheran Reformation, especially the Catechisms of Dr Martin Luther and the Unaltered Augsburg Confession. 2.2        In addition to the above the Church may be called upon to make doctrinal statements in order to witness to and to defend Biblical truth and Christian Faith against anti-Christian forces in her environment and heresies within the Church.     subscribe to newsletter Sign up for our Newsletter by clicking the link above & receive all the latest news Prayer Partners Various Model Prayers Guidance on Laudate Tunes Archive of Sermons CLICK HERE TO DONATE Please Specify Details Regarding e-giving Donations When Completing the Form - scripture readings - proverbs 3 : 3 never let truth and kindness leave you "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8 NIV) "Want uit genade is julle gered, deur die geloof, en dit nie uit julself nie; dit is die gawe van God."
