The churches of Christ do not have a definite confession of faith or an established liturgy. However, we try to live out our faith by examining the gospel and by following the same procedures of the first christian communities.

At the basis of our faith is the substance of the gospel as expressed by the apostle Paul: "For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" (I Corinthians 15:3,4).

The fundamental acts of faith may be identified by looking at the example of the first christians: baptism, worship, prayer, and the study of God's word, assisted in each of these manifestations by the work of the Holy Spirit.

Baptism is that act by which we accept Christ as our Savior, and in so doing, we consciously become a member of the church, understanding that it is God (not man!) who adds the baptized believer to the church "And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47). Through baptism we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, primary and constant guide in our spiritual growth and in our understanding of the truth.
The worship service affords the christian the opportunity to join his brothers and sisters in Christ mainly to praise God, to commemorate in the death and resurrection of Jesus with the Lord's Supper and to pray to God with words that flow from the heart.
The study of God's word is a crucial component of our guide to faith "so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" (I Timothy 3:17). "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path" (Psalm 119:105).
