When you enter into our facilities you'll quickly note that we are different from many other church, and we take pride in being who we are without any special pretentious displays of phoney facades staring you in the face. We believe in accepting everyone as they are and as they come to meet us, learn with us, worship with us and hopefully stay with us as a member of our Church here at CCHM, Inc. The following items are our what we practice daily.
Only Biblical Canon, God's Precepts, Commandments, Laws and Statutes from Scripture will be recognized and obeyed. Nothing hurtful or demeaning is accpetable or tolerated; nor should any rule be created for enforcement because it suits the Church body; nor should any unreasonable and/or unnecessary expectation/s be placed on another, or demanded of someone. Such behavior is considered unsatisfactory and out-of-place at CCHM, Inc..
The only manmade rule for CCHM, Inc. is that there are no manmade rules. Only what Scripture clearly teaches and instructs is valid and should be honored. Points of contention are never to be argued, but are to be discussed or debated, and not in anger with tempers high, but with love, patience, and with Biblical verses to support one's subject of concern. Remember: If it's not in the Bible, it doesn't fly here.
No individual shall EVER be judged for their appearance (clothes, footwear, hair style, jewelry, metal body piercings, tatoos and so forth). A person's social status, their level of ability to give offerings or tithes, their race or their level of ability to understand God's Word is not to be judged or belittled. Judging others is warned against in Scripture, full acceptance without reservations is the way of CCHM, Inc..
The Church's premises is not the place to discuss political points of view, or anything that may cause division in the Church body, or be of a divisive nature. The Church's premises is for God's work, a place to praise and worship His majesty and glory and not for topics of discussion that may produce sides and call for winners and losers.
No gossiping, spreading or creating rumors, or murmuring will ever be so tolerated amongst our Congreagtion of saints.
Pastors, ministers, shepherds, shepherdesses, overseers, guides, reverends, leaders and others in positions of Church and/or CCHM, Inc. organizational authority, especially inclusive of those positions of theological service, such as Church sermon or lesson presenters, or of weddings, or funerals, hospital visits, and sick calls, may dress in the appropriate ministerial attire of their choice. Ordained ministers and other ordained leaders, may wear clerical collars and don robes whenever called for, necessary, or appropriate, i.e., formal occasions and requests for such.
Any version of the Holy Bible is acceptable, as it is God's Living Word and is Divine Scripture useful and appropriate for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness for good works. Any written work that is not and has not originalted in a Cultist Church or climate is fully authorized for reference.
There will be no Church voting. The leadership team will make all decisions for the church body which are deemed to be in the best interests of the Church itself, especially in light of the interpretation of various Biblical scriptures or beliefs which may arise and need clarity. Voting among the Church body simply causes ill will, as decisions may be split, and such circumstances usually produces winners and losers. There are no losers in God's family, not at CCHM, Inc..
"Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers. . ." 1 Peter 2:17 (NIV)
The gifts of the Spirit are evident and will be recognized as being active and alive. They are extensions of God's supernatural power of communicating, they are: healing, prophesying, teaching, giving wisdom, knowledge, faith, discernment, and speaking in tongues with interprestation.
Unacceptable behavior is not dismissed but change and love should be offered to deal with immorality, drugs, and alcoholism. Drinking, smoking, and any such legal habit or behavior is viewed as being personal and not a CCHM, Inc. issue. Patience and tolerance are virtues we will always explore.
"Dogma? Doctrine? Not that of man! I don't think so. Only the Word of God is recognized in this house of worship. Praise the Lord and give thanks for His blessings and simple instructions by which we may live in harmony and peace."
