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.
May God bless you,
Rev. Karl Schimpf, Senior Minister
