A New Covenant church of King Jesus the Messiah is an autonomous, localized congregation of baptized believers, and their children, all of whom are associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel with one-another and with all God’s saints past and present.
They are led by elders and governed foundationally by His Word revealed in both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures. They exercise the gifts, rights, and service of being in the family of God.
Finally, they carry-out the two decreed practices of Jesus which are celebrating the Agape meal with one-another, and baptizing and discipling all people to extend the Gospel of Jesus' kingship and salvation to the ends of the Earth.
(C.E. Ankeny. Resurrection 2014)
