The Congregational Way is a way of following Christ. People of a Congregational Church do not seek to be led by a creed or strictly defined belief systems, rather by the Spirit of God. Ours is the tradition of a free church, gathered under the headship of Christ and bound to others by love and faith, not law or required belief statements. The elements of faith that bind a Congregational Church together are expressed in the church covenant.
Explore faith as a gift of God
Ask critical and probing questions
Exercise their own conscience in matters of personal faith and practice
Interpret scripture as God leads
Let faith inform one’s life toward meaning, acceptance, understanding and grace
Plymouth Congregational Church is a voluntary, supporting member of the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches and is a gathered fellowship of Christians in covenant with God and one another, each person being free to interpret the scriptures according to conscience. We are a self-governing local church.
Believing in Jesus Christ, the Interpreter of God to humankind, we accept his teachings as the guiding principles of our lives and consecrate ourselves and our church to their fulfillment. We, therefore, join in covenant, one with another, to worship, work, and serve together that we may express through our church and our individual lives the love and faith taught by Jesus Christ.
