Pastor Mark Ferrell
Religious Liberty Leader
Religious liberty includes the human right
to have or adopt the religion of one's choice;
to change religious belief according to conscience;
to manifest one's religion individually or
in community with fellow believers, in worship,
observance, practice, witness, and teaching,
subject to respect for the equivalent rights
of others.
To safeguard religious liberty, the Department
of Public Affairs and Religious Liberty encourages,
where possible, the separation of church and
state, as commended by our Lord when He said,
"Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which are Caesar's; and unto God the things
that are God's" (Matt. 22:21).
Each church is considered an informal Religious
Liberty Association, and every church member
is a member of the association. The pastor
or the local elder is the chairperson of the
association in each local church.
