Messenger<br />

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 />

Zion’s Advocate<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 />
