The marks of the church

We maintain this in This We Believe, a statement of belief of our church body: “ We believe that the presence of the holy Christian church nevertheless can be recognized. Wherever the gospel is preached and the sacraments are administered, the holy Christian church is present, for through the means of grace true faith is produced and preserved (Isaiah 55:10,11). The means of grace, therefore, are called the marks of the church.” This link will take you to that quotation in its context.

The Bible, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the marks of the church.
