Church <strong>of</strong> Christ<br />
Joseph Smith <strong>and</strong> five others organized the<br />
Church <strong>of</strong> Christ on April 6, 1830 at Fayette, New<br />
York. In 1864 this body was directed by revelation<br />
through Granville Hedrick to return in 1867 to<br />
Independence, Missouri to the “consecrated l<strong>and</strong>”<br />
dedicated by Joseph Smith. They did so <strong>and</strong> purchased<br />
the temple lot dedicated in 1831.<br />

The Church <strong>of</strong> Christ (Holiness)<br />
U.S.A.<br />
The Church <strong>of</strong> Christ (Holiness) U.S.A. has a<br />
Divine commission to propagate the gospel<br />
throughout the world, to seek the conversion <strong>of</strong><br />
sinners, to reclaim backsliders, to encourage the<br />
sanctification <strong>of</strong> believers, to support divine healing,<br />
<strong>and</strong> to advance the truth for the return <strong>of</strong> our<br />
Lord <strong>and</strong> Savior Jesus Christ. This must be done<br />
through proper organization.<br />
The fundamental principles <strong>of</strong> Christ’s Church<br />
have remained the same. The laws founded upon<br />
these principles are to remain unchanged. The<br />
Church <strong>of</strong> Christ (Holiness) U.S.A. is representative<br />
in form <strong>of</strong> government; therefore, the final<br />
authority in defining the organizational responsibilities<br />
rests with the national convention. The<br />
bishops <strong>of</strong> the church are delegated special powers<br />
to act in behalf <strong>of</strong> or speak for the church. The<br />
pastors are ordained ministers, who under the call<br />
<strong>of</strong> God <strong>and</strong> His people, have divine oversight <strong>of</strong><br />
local churches. However, the representative form<br />
<strong>of</strong> government gives ministry <strong>and</strong> laity equal<br />
authority in all deliberate bodies. With the leadership<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit, Respect, Loyalty <strong>and</strong> Love<br />
will greatly increase.<br />
