Things to do to form a Church

Besides the formation documents, each church and congregation should accept a written Creed and a primary Polity as well as a general Mission statement. These documents are brief expressions and summaries of general concepts and precepts, beliefs and convictions, structures and purposes of the Church.

His Church freely offers samples of these documents, along with forms and services. Although no Church or congregation is required to use the specific terms or forms of the Creed, Polity, and Mission Statement offered in the appendix, it is presumed that they are in agreement with those basic tenets of faith and purpose. Any local documents adopted by a Church should not be in conflict with those general documents which attempt to express the precepts, ordinances, and directions of our Messiah.

Copies of any documents that a local Church may choose to use should be recorded with the overseer as a part of their report so that he is aware of any official activity or direction the church may choose to emphasize or take. The church believes in each soul working out their salvation with fear and trembling.¹

Some of the forms for the church are found in Appendix 3. The forms are for your convenience and protection so that no essential element is overlooked.

This material is the results of years of work, research, and prayer. It is our attempt to freely give what God has given us. The Church is not a business, but it is in the business of Christ - which is charity and love, choice and liberation, service and fruitful growth. It requires repentance and responsibility, faith and forgiveness, love and thanksgiving. As we take back our responsibilities, our rights return. As we forgive, we are forgiven. As we give our life in love with thanksgiving, we put on the whole armor of God and enter into His Kingdom. We cannot do this by our own will, but by divine grace.² We are not our own salvation.³ But if we truly love the Messiah, we will keep His commandments.⁴

The following two pages contain Three Step general instructions and the Detailed Numbered Outline of those steps in the formation of a free Church. These are the same process. Two people must recognize a third individual to be a minister of Christ. By those two witnesses it is established that there is a Church where two or more are gathered together.

The third person chosen by their testimony and solemnized by their offering becomes a minister of Christ’s Church. An ordained minister of an order is called upon to be the overseer of this act of creation. He and his brothers in Christ become witnesses to the world that this Church is not of the world.

The ongoing exchange and service of these relationships edifies the truth of our faith in Christ. The network of the Church, through these ministers of ministers, strengthens the whole community of the saints of God by extending the care and love of Christ across a whole nation of people seeking His righteousness. In Appendix 10 and 11 you will find the His Church Guidelines to assist the ministers.

Without these structures and relationships, overseers from the world will assume authority, attempt to regulate the Church, and subdue it to their own will.

“And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 10:7

The Free Church Report

The Free Church Report presents a unique path for the modern Church according to the nature of the first century Church by explaining the duty and purposes of that institution appointed by Christ. While Rome declined under runaway inflation, corrupt government, martial law, and endless threats of war, the Christians found an alternative to the men who “called themselves benefactors but exercised authority one over the other.”
The early Christian knew rights and responsibilities were indivisible. They sought the right to be ruled by God by taking back their responsibility, through the service of “called out” ministers who lived in the world, but were not of it. Their government benefits came through a divine network instituted in their hearts and minds by faith, hope, and charity under the perfect law of liberty as their Qorban of the unrighteous mammon failed the Roman society.
