While most of the member Churches are, indeed, from Wisconsin, there are also member Churches in Upper Michigan and Illinois. The Churches of the Wisconsin Congregational Association follow the historic faith and organizational pattern of the Congregational Way.</div> <bR> <div> Membership in the Wisconsin Congregational Association is open to any Church that shares the faith and polity convictions of the association and accepts the association Covenant. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>WCA Covenant</B></I></div> <div> We covenant with the Lord and with one another in striving to know the will of God as taught in the Holy Scriptures, and in our purpose to walk in the ways of the Lord, known or to be made known to us and to be free from the will of humanity for the purpose of becoming perfectly subject to the will of God.</div> <div> We voluntarily associate ourselves together for faith, freedom, a fellowship, with Jesus Christ as our only Head. We affirm and maintain the freedom of individual conscience as enlightened by the Holy Spirit, our only interpreter of the Word of God.</div> <bR> <div> We also claim that each Church shall be free, independent, and forever devoid of any and all control by the Association.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>The Congregational Way</B></I></div> <div> The Congregational Way is a way of following Christ. People of a Congregational Church do not seek to be led by a creed, but by the Spirit. Ours is the tradition of a free church, gathered under the headship of Christ and bound to others by love, not law. </div> <bR> <div> Congregational Christian Churches offer one another the right hand of fellowship through state, regional and national associations.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id26.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Articles of Association"><U>Click here to see our Articles of Association</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <I>Most, but not all, of the Churches of the Wisconsin Congregational Association are also members of the</I></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.NACCC.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.NACCC.org"><U><I>National Association of Congregational Christian Churches</I></U></A><I>.</I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
