| For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life | The Irkutsk Church of Christ is a refuge and resource for people who seek a life in union with God. We are a shelter for the hurting. We are a place where those crushed under the weight of sin can find forgiveness and recovery. We are a family bound together by love, where those who have been otherwise rejected can find comfort and acceptance. We are a place where,each one can use whatever spiritual gift he or she has received to serve others in a meaningful way. We want to imitate the spirit and warmth of Christ as we relate to each other. The description of the church in the first century is our model, "they devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, as many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." (Acts 2:42-47) |

| WHAT WILL BE EXPECTED OF ME? |
Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth . . .You are the light of the world . . ."(Matthew 5:13-14). With the help of the Holy Spirit, each Christian (member) is expected by Christ to make every effort to live an exemplary life in the community. His morals, ethics, language, values, habits, and attitude should be "salt" and "light" in the community where he lives and/or works. The Bible teaches to "live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God . . ."(1 Peter 2:12). Many specific sins are named in passages such as Galatians 5:19-21,1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and Colossians 3:5-11, but each Christian must learn the principles and attitudes of Jesus and apply them in whatever way they are applicable in his life. Christians are to make a difference in local communities and in the whole world. |

| The Bible |
We trust that the Bible is God's perfect book of life for life. We believe God has protected the transmission of His Word through the ages so that we can know what He does, says, believes, and feels. The Bible tells us what doctrines to teach and what morals to practice. It establishes the values and ethics we live by and pass on to the next generation. The Bible is God's word for our individual lives, families, churches, and communities. Through the Bible we can know God and the life that comes through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. | |
