The Journey's Distinctives: Ecclesiological Distinctives

Mace begins a two-part series on The Journey’s Distinctives. Our Core Convictions are our beliefs about what make up the essence of Christianity, the things believed everywhere, always, and by all. Our Distinctives are beliefs about which genuine Christians may disagree but that have a significant impact on the life and teaching ministry of our local church. In part one, we cover our Ecclesiological Distinctives, our theological distinctives regarding the order of and life in the local church.  We cover topics such as the nature of the local church and its relationship to the universal church, the offices and governance of the local church, the inclusion of children in the corporate worship gathering, the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and spiritual gifts like tongues and prophecy. Our goal in this series is to be clear about where we stand and create a culture of thoughtful, charitable dialogue regarding debated and potentially controversial theological issues.
