Chief Doctrines of the Moravian Congregations The Moravian Church as a part of the Body of Christ affirms the chief doctrines of our common faith as follows:

	The doctrine of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in whose name we are baptized.
	The doctrine of God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
	The doctrine that Jesus Christ came in human form and dwelt among us and that he gives to all who believe in him the power to become the children of God.
	The doctrine that the Holy Spirit works within us and enables us to know the truth.
	The doctrine that God, through Christ, visits and redeems his people; as Jesus himself promised, "I will come again."

The Moravian Church administers the sacrament of baptism for both children and adults. While it practices baptism by the pouring or sprinkling of water, the Moravian Church does not dispute other forms of baptism as practiced throughout the Church universal.

The Moravian Church invites all baptized Christians to join with it in celebrating the Lord's Supper. Following instruction, baptized children may receive communion.

The Moravian Church embraces the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, but maintains an ordained ministry of both men and women for administering the sacraments.

The Moravian Church, founded in 1457 and renewed in 1727, believes that it was called into being for the purpose of proclaiming the Good News that God in Christ reconciled the world to himself.

The Moravian Church believes hat it should go into all the world, even into the earth's remotest bounds, whenever and wherever its Lord calls and doors are opened. Today the Moravian Church is found in many lands and among many people of many tongues.

The Moravian Church holds that all believers are brothers and sisters in Christ.

The Moravian Church "awaits the appearing of Jesus Christ, goes forward to meet its Lord with joy, and prays to be found ready when he comes."
