As a Seventh Day Baptist church plant, we are in agreement with our Sponsor Church and the Seventh Day Baptist General Conference statement of belief on The Church. It says:

We believe that the church of God is all believers gathered by the Holy Spirit and joined into one body, of which Christ is the Head. We believe that the local church is a community of believers organized in covenant relationship for worship, fellowship and service, practicing and proclaiming common convictions, while growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

-We believe in the priesthood of all believers and practice the autonomy of the local congregation, as we seek to work in association with others for more effective witness.

Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 12:13, 14, 27; Romans 12:4-5; Colossians 1:18; Acts 2:42; Ephesians 2:19-22; Romans 15:5-7; Ephesians 4:11-16; 2 Peter 3:18; 1 Peter 2:4-10; Matthew 18:20; Hebrews 10:24-25.

In other words, we believe each local church is an independent group of people who have professed saving faith in Jesus Christ and have covenanted with one another in their faith journey. The Local Church has authority over itself under Jesus Christ who is the head of His church. We associate together in common belief through the Seventh Day Baptist General Conference (of which Frontier Church Longmont is not a member church, however our Sponsor Church - Frontier Church Carbon Valley, is a member of the General Conference).

A Covenant is an agreement between two or more parties to do something specific. In the setting of a church this is a solemn agreement between members to act together in harmony based on their common beliefs. Covenants require active participation on the part of both parties. In the context of our church this means we have an active membership with the expectation of participation in the church body.
