What is a Congregational Church?    ----- continued

The Congregational Way allows us the freedom to prayerfully follow the dictates of our own consciences as we seek God’s will, “known or to be made known to us” (Kansas City Statement of Faith, 1913). Our Way calls us to responsible faith as we seek to grow in discipleship and become all that God would have us be. In the covenant relationship, North Shore Church becomes for us the still point of our turning world: that place where Christian morals, ethics, and principles are taught, as we commit ourselves to listening to and nurturing the spiritual dimension of life often absent in our surrounding culture. A Congregational church recognizes Christ as our only Head; we are the church of Christ’s people, and we therefore rely for our strength on the dedication and faithful commitment of those who participate.

As you explore this website, we hope you will be encouraged to worship with us, or participate in any of our church’s other activities. Ours is the free Way, but it is not the easy way. It takes all of us praying and working together, using the gifts and talents that God has given us, as we seek to serve and glorify God in every way.
