8. What are the fundamental parts of a church and what do they mean at Grafted.

9. 7. The Church
We believe in the Universal Church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, which consists of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith, and associated for worship, work, and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary tasks of living a life of worship, nurturing the body of believers, and giving the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

14. 6. Regeneration
We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by choice and therefore are under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated, or brought to new life, by the Holy Spirit.
