Apostolic
We believe in the
apostolic succession and
that it resides within
the church. The
teachings and authority
of Jesus received by the
apostles has passed down
through the church:
through the offices and
through the
decision-making bodies,
e.g., congregational
meetings, presbyteries,
synods, etc. of the
church. This is how the
character and orthodoxy
Christian faith has been
given throughout
the millennia.
