Our Beliefs

There are many intellectual and theological phrases that could be used to describe Morton Christian Church.  Words such as: independent, non-denominational, and autonomous to name a few.  Although they might be accurate in their descriptions, they can be confusing as well. 

A better description would be that Morton Christian Church is a community of believers in God who look to the Bible for instruction on how to live life with God, with His church and with the community around us. Life in the “church” that is focused on worship, study, and service will provide the framework for our personal spiritual growth, interaction and survival in the culture we live in today. Below are some key references to scripture from which we receive our identity.
