Service & Sacraments
IN A FREE and ecumenical nature,
Spiritis Church, bound by covenant as the Original Church, honors the many
gifts the Holy Spirit has given Its ministers. There are gifts
of healing, speaking, teaching, nurturing, organizing, presenting and
leading others in the pathways of Life. There are as many ways to
serve as human need can devise. In this, we honor and support the
unique talents and preparations of those who are called to serve.
As the Original Church of Jesus
Christ, Spiritis Church is also at the same time sacramental. The
Sacraments are performed to honor and manifest the presence of the Holy
Spirit for the sanctification of holy occasions and the spiritual
attainments of those faithful in Christ.
The Sacraments include Holy
Communion, Holy Baptism, Confirmation, Reconciliation and Absolution,
Holy Marriage, Holy Unction (healing), and Holy Orders. The clergy
performs these rites in accordance with each member's preparation and
ordination (or consecration).
Membership & Fellowship
ACCORDING to Matthew 18:20 it is
said, "Wherever two or three are gathered in my name, I will be
among them." Therefore, let it be known that the true and
spiritual community of this Church is bound by the Holy Spirit and the
Love of Christ and not by human limitations of prescriptions; nor by set
jurisdictions of physical properties and/or locations. In this
spirit we present no physical or denominational limitations upon our
membership, nor do we place restrictions on the hearts, faith or beliefs
of those who join with us in the Truths of God. By this trust and
this grace of God our membership is thus established and extended to all
(Article seven from the Articles of Association).
