Does the Council of Churches of the Ozarks have a doctrinal statement?
• As a Christian organization serving some of the most vulnerable people in the Ozarks, we believe that service “in the name of Jesus Christ” is an occasion for working together to “improve the quality of life” for people in need. It is our belief and experience that service unites people, whereas doctrine often divides people. The Council of Churches of the Ozarks welcomes all those who share the core values expressed in our mission statement (see below) and who embrace the teachings of Jesus with regard to serving the poor (especially Matthew 25:31-46) and the significance of unity for Jesus’ followers (especially John 17:20-23).
