The church is a local group of baptized believers who are called to worship God, encourage one another, and evangelize the world (Hebrew 10: 25; Matthew 28:19-20). The local church is responsible to observe two ordinances: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. (Romans 6:4-5, Acts 2:41, 1 Corinthians 11:23-29; Mark 14:22-26)
