The Church of Jesus Christ

1. We believe in God: the Father, Jesus Christ-His Son, and the Holy Spirit.
2. We believe the Church as established by Jesus Christ has ordained officers consistent with the scriptures, that believers possess the signs promised to them, and that this Church/Kingdom will remain upon the earth until the end of time.
3. We believe the Bible and the Book of Mormon to be the Holy Scriptures telling of God’s relationship with the human family. These two scriptures jointly convey God’s dealings and plan for mankind.
4. We believe that divine inspiration is an indispensable qualification for the preaching of the Gospel.
5. We believe that The Church of Jesus Christ is patterned exactly as is represented in the scriptures including the following ordinances and practices:

- Baptism by immersion
- Laying on of hands for the reception of the Holy Ghost
- Lord’s Supper
- Feet washing
- Anointing the sick with oil and praying over them
- Ordaining all spiritual Church Officers
- Blessing of children

6. We believe obedience to the Gospel is necessary to obtain salvation by taking the following actions:

- Believe and have faith that Jesus Christ is the risen Savior of the world
- Repent of your sins with a desire to sin no more
- Be baptized by immersion in water for a remission of sins
- Receive the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands
- Live righteously, remain faithful, and endure to the end of your life.

7. We believe that the Lord God continues to reveal His will through the power of the Holy Ghost.
8. We believe that the resurrection of Jesus Christ established resurrection for all mankind.
9. We believe that marriage between a man and a woman is a holy institution.
10. We believe that many pure and precious tenets of Christ were eventually changed in the early centuries of The Church of Jesus Christ and that God restored the Gospel of Christ in it fullness.
11. We believe that God has promised many blessings to all who love and serve Him, and that He will remember His covenants to the House of Israel.
12. We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ to occur at the end of the world – with the First Resurrection – and that He will wed His Bride, the Church, and gather unto Himself all the righteous.
