Our Belief

BRING GOOD NEWS works under the oversight of South Nassau Christian Church in Baldwin, New York, an independent church that is part of a religious movement that goes back to the early years of our country, known as the Restoration Movement. James Garfield, the 18 th president of the United States and a member of this movement, described our belief this way:

“We call ourselves Christians, or Disciples of Christ. We believe in God the Father. We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and our Savior. We regard the divinity of Christ as the fundamental truth of the Christian system. We believe in the Holy Spirit, both as his agency in conversion and as indwelling in the heart of the Christian. We accept both the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures as the inspired Word of God. We believe in the future punishment of the wicked and the future reward of the righteous. We believe that the Deity is a prayer hearing and a prayer answering God. We observe the institution of the Lord’s Supper on the Lord’s Day. We plead for the union of God’s people on the Bible and the Bible alone. The Christ is our only creed. We maintain that all the ordinances should be observed as they were in the days of the apostles.”
