www.csichurch.com The Church of South India is the result of the union of churches of varying traditions Anglican, Methodist, Congregational, Presbyterian, and Reformed in that area. It was inaugurated in September 1947, after protracted negotiation among the churches concerned. Organized into 16 dioceses, each under the spiritual supervision of a bishop, the church as a whole is governed by a synod, which elects a moderator (presiding bishop) every 2 years. Episcopacy is thus combined with synodical government, and the church explicitly recognizes that Episcopal, Presbyterian, and congregational elements are all necessary for the church's life. The Scriptures are the ultimate standard of faith and practice. The historic creeds are accepted as interpreting the biblical faith, and the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper are recognized as of binding obligation. www.eclc.org ECLC is a Reconciling in Christ congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It is a community where all are welcome in every aspect of congregational life. We gather weekly in worship around Word and Sacrament to strengthen us in our living as people of God. www.fpcc.org We are one of many congregations who believe it is possible to have first century New Testament Christianity today. In order for this to be a reality, we must speak where the Bible speaks and remain silent where the Bible is silent. We must be the same in NAME, ORGANIZATION, WORSHIP, DOCTRINE and LIFE as was the first century church. The Bible is right and we are only right when we follow it. We invite you to come visit and worship with us. We have the Lords Supper on the first day of the week, congregational singing, prayer, the giving of our means, and the teaching and preaching of Gods word. growleaders.org Biblical leadership training for spiritual leaders of the Protestant faith.
