- We believe in Jesus Christ. We are a Christian church, and along with
Christians throughout the ages we believe that God has revealed God's self
to us in the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.- We believe in freedom. We are a Protestant church, and keeping with that
tradition, we believe each person has the ability and the right to enter into
his/her own relationship with God and to interpret scripture in light of that
relationship. We call this belief, The Priesthood of All Believers, which
means the church and its ministers are servants that help people in their own
relationship with God rather than middle-men who mediate between people
and God.- We believe in diversity. We view the diversity of belief within our church as
a strength and seek to find common ground together and to learn from each
other as we serve God and humanity.- We believe in cooperation. We are a part of The United Church of Christ. We
combine our efforts with other churches in our denomination for the purposes
of service and fellowship. We also join together with churches of various
denominations on Long Island through The Long Island Council of Churches
and all of the churches and synagogues in our local community through the
Manhasset Clergy Association.- We believe in local autonomy. Although we are a part of a larger denomination,
the members of our church decide how our church will operate and practice. In
matters of business, we are democratic; each member has a vote. We do not
answer to bishops or any other church hierarchy. Instead, we enter into
voluntary cooperation with other churches in our denomination on a local, state
and national level.- We believe God welcomes everyone. We practice open communion, which means
if you are present at our church on a Sunday we partake of communion, you are
welcome to participate regardless of whether or not you are a member of our church,
another church or none. No matter what your religious background may or may
not be, there is room at the Lord's table for you. We invite everyone to become
a member of our church. The only requirements for membership are that you be
baptized and "own the church covenant." We recognize the baptism of any other
church and are glad to baptize anyone who has not yet been baptized. We ask every
member to "own the church covenant," which states, "I commit to love God with all
my heart, strength, soul and mind, and I commit to love my neighbor as myself." No
other statement of belief is necessary.
