Belief 14 of 28 · Doctrines of the Church

Unity in the Body of Christ

The church is one body with many members called from every nation, tribe, and tongue. In Christ we are a new creation; distinctions of race, culture, and social standing must not divide us. We share one Lord, one faith, one baptism.

Galatians 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
