“The purpose this
church shall be as reveal in the New Testament, to win people to faith in Jesus
Christ and commit them actively to the church, to help them grow in the grace
and knowledge of Christ that increasingly they may know and do the will, and to
work for the unity of all Christians and with them engage in the common task of
building the kingdom of God. (See: Matthew 28:18-20; Galatians 6:1,2; John
17:11)
