What We Believe

Shelton Christian Church is seeking to be a New Testament Church. Thus,


 



  • We Wear a New Testament Name "The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch" -Acts 11:26

  • We Believe a New Testament Creed "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God . . . Upon this rock I will build my church." (Matthew 16:16, 18)

  • We Obey a New Testament Baptism "We are buried with him by baptism into death." (Romans 6:4) "And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you . . . through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 3:21)

  • We Observe a New Testament Communion "This do in remembrance of me." (Luke 22:19) "Upon the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread . . ."(Acts 20:7)

  • We Practice a New Testament Stewardship "Upon the first day of the week let every one of you put aside some money, in proportion to what he as earned." (1 Corinthians 16:2)

  • We Live a New Testament Life "Grow in grace" (2 Peter 3:18" "Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life" (Revelation 2:10)
