第一部份我们教会的特征

一. 我们教会的简史

纳奈莫华人宣道会是由域多利（Victoria）华人宣道会植堂，与加拿大宣道会太平洋区会、加拿大华人宣道会联会、及纳奈莫宣道会合作创办的。于 2004 年初开始主日崇拜，同年七月蓝仲芳牧师成为教会的第一任主任牧师，直至 2016 年八月退休。吴东生牧师在 2016 年九月接任主任牧师。纳奈莫华人宣道会是纳奈莫华人属灵的大家庭，我们以耶稣基督为主，一齐追求真认识神、爱慕祂、事奉祂、荣耀祂；并且学习彼此相顾、激发爱心、勉励行善、共同成长。

我们愿以神的爱来关怀非信徒灵魂体的需要，盼望与众人一同分享神的爱和永恒上好的福分。纳奈莫华人宣道会是加拿大宣道会（Christian & Missionary Alliance in Canada）成员。加拿大宣道会是全球宣道会大家庭的一部分，在世界各地有 600 多万成员和参与者，有接近 18,800 间教会，分布在超过 80 个国家。

加拿大宣道会有教会 400 多间，主日崇拜人数接近 89,000 人，其中超过 90 间是华人宣道会。

二. 我们对教会的信念

教会一词译自希腊文 ekklesia，字义是「呼召出来的会众」。但按照当时的文化背景，ekklesia 的含义应该是在地上执掌权柄的天国「议会」。我们相信教会主要以下四方面的位份与功用：

I. 教会是基督的身体

基督是教会的头，教会是基督的身体，万有都服在基督脚下，也都服在教会之下。头与身体的关系表达了亲密、合一、不可分隔的生命关系。我们是一个身体，不是一个企业。我们是一个生命有机体，不是一个机构组织。在一个企业或机构里，「工作果效」 和「效率」是重点，但是对于一个身体及生机体，「生命」与「关系」才是重点。身体中每个肢体都有独特的功用，都是彼此的需要和祝福。

我们要使用神给我们的恩赐彼此配搭、彼此服侍、彼此造就，一起领受基督身体的丰盛生命。弗 1:22-23 又将万有服在他的脚下，使他为教会作万有之首。教会是他的身体，是那充满万有者所充满的。弗 4:11-13 他所赐的有使徒，有先知，有传福音的，有牧师和教师。为要成全圣徒，各尽其职，建立基督的身体。直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一，认识神的儿子，得以长大成人，满有基督长成的身量。

弗 4:15-16 惟用爱心说诚实话，凡事长进，连于元首基督。全身都靠他联络得合式，百节各按各职，照着各体的功用，彼此相助，便叫身体渐渐增长，在爱中建立自己。西 1:24 现在我为你们受苦，倒觉欢乐；并且为基督的身体，就是为教会，要在我肉身上补满基督患难的缺欠。罗 12:4-6 正如我们一个身子上有好些肢体，肢体也不都是一样的用处。我们这许多人，在基督里成为一身，互相联络作肢体，也是如此。按我们所得的恩赐，各有不同。

II. 教会是天父的家

教会是神的家，神是我们的天父，耶稣是我们的长兄，我们都是弟兄姐妹。我们彼此是家人，我们要营造彼此接纳、彼此尊荣的文化，在安全的环境中学习彼此相爱，操练谦卑顺服，在爱中彼此相交，彼此劝勉，彼此相顾，使我们的生命在爱中长大成熟。弗 2:19 这样，你们不再作外人和客旅，是与圣徒同国，是神家里的人了；提前 3:15 倘若我耽延日久，你也可以知道在神的家中当怎样行。

这家就是永生神的教会，真理的柱石和根基。加 6:10 所以，有了机会就当向众人行善，向信徒一家的人更当这样。来 2:11 因那使人成圣的和那些得以成圣的，都是出于一。所以，他称他们为弟兄也不以为耻，彼前 3:8 总而言之，你们都要同心，彼此体恤，相爱如弟兄，存慈怜谦卑的心。彼前 5:5 你们年幼的，也要顺服年长的。

就是你们众人也都要以谦卑束腰，彼此顺服；因为神阻挡骄傲的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。

III. 教会是基督的新妇

神呼召我们成为主耶稣的新妇，我们的渴慕和追求就是，愿神加添我们对主爱的渴慕，吸引我们快跑追随祂，并改变转化我们的生命品格，变得越来越像基督，使我们得以成为祂圣洁无瑕疵的新妇。弗 5:25-27 你们作丈夫的，要爱你们的妻子，正如基督爱教会，为教会舍己。要用水借着道，把教会洗净，成为圣洁，可以献给自己，作个荣耀的教会，毫无玷污皱纹等类的病，乃是圣洁没有瑕疵的。

启 19:7 我们要欢喜快乐，将荣耀归给他。因为羔羊婚娶的时候到了，新妇也自己预备好了。启 21:9-10 你到这里来，我要将新妇，就是羔羊的妻，指给你看。我被圣灵感动，天使就带我到一座高大的山，将那由神那里从天而降的圣城耶路撒冷指示我。何 2:19-20 我必聘你永远归我为妻，以仁义、公平、慈爱、怜悯聘你归我；也以诚实聘你归我，你就必认识我—耶和华。

IV. 教会是神的圣殿

教会是神的圣殿，是神借着圣灵居住的所在。因此在教会的聚集，往往有神的特别的同在，我们同心合意的祷告往往更大有能力、更蒙神垂听，神也常把关于祂自己的奥祕启示给合一的教会。林前 3:16-17 岂不知你们是神的殿，神的灵住在你们里头吗？若有人毁坏神的殿，神必要毁坏那人；因为神的殿是圣的，这殿就是你们。弗 2:19-21 这样，你们不再作外人和客旅，是与圣徒同国，是神家里的人了；并且被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶稣自己为房角石，各房靠他联络得合式，渐渐成为主的圣殿。

你们也靠他同被建造，成为神借着圣灵居住的所在。太 18:20 因为无论在哪里，有两三个人奉我的名聚会，那里就有我在他们中间。弗 3:18-19 能以和众圣徒一同明白基督的爱是何等长阔高深，并知道这爱是过于人所能测度的，便叫神一切所充满的，充满了你们。

三. 我们教会的异象和使命

我们教会的异象宣言：建造一个爱神爱人、凡事遵行上帝旨意的基督新妇教会。可 12:29-31 耶稣回答说：“第一要紧的就是说：『以色列啊，你要听，主—我们神是独一的主。你要尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力爱主—你的神。』其次就是说：『要爱人如己。』再没有比这两条诫命更大的了。” 约壹 2:17 这世界和其上的情欲都要过去，惟独遵行神旨意的，是永远常存。

徒 13:22 既废了扫罗，就选立大卫作他们的王，又为他作见证说：『我寻得耶西的儿子大卫，他是合我心意的人，凡事要遵行我的旨意。』 启 19:6-8 我听见好像群众的声音，众水的声音，大雷的声音，说：哈利路亚！因为主 —我们的神、全能者作王了。我们要欢喜快乐，将荣耀归给他。因为，羔羊婚娶的时候到了；新妇也自己预备好了，就蒙恩得穿光明洁白的细麻衣。

（这细麻衣就是圣徒所行的义。）

我们教会有这三方面的使命：

1. 敬拜事奉上帝（向上 upward）

2. 装备建造门徒（对内 inward）

3. 见证传扬福音（对外 outward）也就是，我们教会的存在是为了完成这三方面的使命：

I. 我们存在为要敬拜上帝

教会的首要使命是敬拜、事奉、荣耀神，为基督得着全心爱主的新妇，满足神爱的渴望，教会要凡事遵行神的旨意，使神得着一切荣耀。

可 12:29-30 耶稣回答说：第一要紧的就是说：以色列啊，你要听，主—我们神是独一的主。你要尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力爱主—你的神。启示录 15:4 主啊，谁敢不敬畏你，不将荣耀归与你的名呢？因为独有你是圣的。万民都要来在你面前敬拜，因你公义的作为已经显出来了。弗 5:19-20 当用诗章、颂词、灵歌彼此对说，口唱心和地赞美主。

凡事要奉我们主耶稣基督的名常常感谢父神。约 4:23 时候将到，如今就是了，那真正拜父的，要用心灵和诚实拜他，因为父要这样的人拜他。太 4:10 耶稣说：“撒但，退去吧！因为经上记着说：当拜主—你的神，单要事奉他。” 罗 12:1 所以，弟兄们，我以神的慈悲劝你们，将身体献上，当作活祭，是圣洁的，是神所喜悦的；你们如此事奉乃是理所当然的。

徒 2:42-47 都恒心遵守使徒的教训，彼此交接，擘饼，祈祷。…… 他们天天同心合意，恒切地在殿里且在家中掰饼，存着欢喜诚实的心用饭，赞美神，得众民的喜爱。主将得救的人，天天加给他们。徒 13:22 既废了扫罗，就选立大卫作他们的王，又为他作见证说：『我寻得耶西的儿子大卫，他是合我心意的人，凡事要遵行我的旨意。』 约壹 2:17 这世界和其上的情欲都要过去，惟独遵行神旨意的，是永远常存。

II. 我们存在为要建造门徒

教会的使命是建造门徒，透过教导神话语的启示，分辨抵挡异端，持守真理，也透过在爱中彼此委身、彼此相交、彼此代祷、彼此鼓励、彼此劝戒、彼此相顾、彼此服事，使众人渐渐长大成熟、满有基督的身量。弗 4:11-16 他所赐的，有使徒，有先知，有传福音的，有牧师和教师，为要成全圣徒，各尽其职，建立基督的身体，直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一，认识神的儿子，得以长大成人，满有基督长成的身量，使我们不再作小孩子，中了人的诡计和欺骗的法术，被一切异教之风摇动，飘来飘去，就随从各样的异端；惟用爱心说诚实话，凡事长进，连于元首基督，全身都靠他联络得合式，百节各按各职，照着各体的功用彼此相助，便叫身体渐渐增长，在爱中建立自己。

太 28:19-20 所以你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父子圣灵的名，给他们施洗。凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。提前 3:15 这家就是永生神的教会，真理的柱石和根基。来 10:24-25 又要彼此相顾，激发爱心，勉励行善。你们不可停止聚会，好像那些停止惯了的人，倒要彼此劝勉，既知道那日子临近，就更当如此。

来 6:1 所以，我们应当离开基督道理的开端，竭力进到完全的地步。彼后 3:18 你们却要在我们主—救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上有长进。

III. 我们存在为要传扬福音

教会的使命是让神的同在、神的光、神的爱、神的生命、神的国度彰显出来，在圣灵大能中见证基督的荣耀，胜过黑暗权势，传扬天国福音，拯救失丧灵魂。教会要在世上做光做盐，在爱与怜悯中行善捐输、服事邻舍，使世人被神的爱寻回，进入神光明的国度。太 28:19-20 所以你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父子圣灵的名，给他们施洗。

凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。徒 1:8 但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地，和撒马利亚，直到地极，作我的见证。路 4:18-19 主的灵在我身上，因为他用膏膏我，叫我传福音给贫穷的人；差遣我报告：被掳的得释放，瞎眼的得看见，叫那受压制的得自由，报告神悦纳人的禧年。

太 25:34-45 于是王要向那右边的说：『你们这蒙我父赐福的，可来承受那创世以来为你们所预备的国；因为我饿了，你们给我吃，渴了，你们给我喝；我作客旅，你们留我住；我赤身露体，你们给我穿；我病了，你们看顾我；我在监里，你们来看我。』…… 王要回答说：『我实在告诉你们，这些事你们既不做在我这弟兄中一个最小的身上，就是不做在我身上了。

』 来 13:16 只是不可忘记行善和捐输的事，因为这样的祭是神所喜悦的。

四. 我们教会的核心价值

我们教会有四大核心价值：

1. 天国永恒：思天国慕永恒，传福音救灵魂，作门徒好管家

2. 天父慈爱：蒙父爱得自由，受恩典晓真理，作儿子一家人

3. 住在主里：多渴慕勤操练，常舍己遵神意，住主里成新妇

4. 圣灵复兴：新皮袋装新酒，受圣灵迎复兴，齐装备成精兵也就是，我们教会看重这四大核心价值：

I. 一个强调天国永恒的专注

教会是基督的身体，是基督在地上的使者。我们重生，在基督里成为新造的人，成为神的后嗣，我们被天国永恒的荣耀标杆所策动，羡慕得着满足的赏赐。因此我们要传扬天国福音，拯救失丧灵魂，建造属灵生命，各尽其职，作基督的真门徒，成为良善忠心的好管家。弗 4:15-16 惟用爱心说诚实话，凡事长进，连于元首基督。全身都靠他联络得合式，百节各按各职，照着各体的功用，彼此相助，便叫身体渐渐增长，在爱中建立自己。

彼前 1:3-4 愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父神！他曾照自己的大怜悯，借耶稣基督从死里复活，重生了我们，叫我们有活泼的盼望，可以得着不能朽坏、不能玷污、不能衰残、为你们存留在天上的基业。

约贰 1:8 你们要小心，不要失去你们所做的工，乃要得着满足的赏赐。太 28:19-20 所以，你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗。凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。太 25:21 主人说：『好，你这又良善又忠心的仆人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把许多事派你管理；可以进来享受你主人的快乐。』

II. 一个充满天父慈爱的氛围

教会是神爱的家，我们领受天父之爱的启示与浇灌，使生命在爱中得医治、释放与自由。我们坚信圣经的话，脱离孤儿心态，成为有神生命的真儿子，并在阿爸父的爱中以恩慈彼此接纳、彼此尊荣、彼此成全。提前 3:15 倘若我耽延日久，你也可以知道在神的家中当怎样行。这家就是永生神的教会，真理的柱石和根基。弗 1:5 又因爱我们，就按着自己的意旨所喜悦的，预定我们借着耶稣基督得儿子的名分，约壹 3:1 你看父赐给我们是何等的慈爱，使我们得称为神的儿女；我们也真是他的儿女。

世人所以不认识我们，是因未曾认识他。约 17:23 我在他们里面，你在我里面，使他们完完全全地合而为一，叫世人知道你差了我来，也知道你爱他们如同爱我一样。赛 61:1-3 主耶和华的灵在我身上；因为耶和华用膏膏我，叫我传好信息给谦卑的人，差遣我医好伤心的人，报告被掳的得释放，被囚的出监牢；报告耶和华的恩年，和我们神报仇的日子；安慰一切悲哀的人，赐华冠与锡安悲哀的人，代替灰尘；喜乐油代替悲哀；赞美衣代替忧伤之灵；使他们称为“公义树”，是耶和华所栽的，叫他得荣耀。

西 3:12-14 所以，你们既是神的选民，圣洁蒙爱的人，就要存怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐的心。倘若这人与那人有嫌隙，总要彼此包容，彼此饶恕；主怎样饶恕了你们，你们也要怎样饶恕人。在这一切之外，要存着爱心，爱心就是联络全德的。林前 12:21-23 眼不能对手说：“我用不着你”；头也不能对脚说：“我用不着你。”不但如此，身上肢体人以为软弱的，更是不可少的。

身上肢体，我们看为不体面的，越发给它加上体面；不俊美的，越发得着俊美。彼前 4:8-10 最要紧的是彼此切实相爱，因为爱能遮掩许多的罪。你们要互相款待，不发怨言。各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服事，作神百般恩赐的好管家。

III. 一个操练住在主里的重心

教会是敬拜神的殿，爱神是我们的第一呼召。我们渴望与神相遇、与神同在、与神同行。因此我们要专心寻求神的面，竭力追求认识主。并且持续操练日常与主联结、与神同在、住在基督里，舍己背十架，谦卑服侍，彼此顺服，凡事遵行神的旨意，结出圣灵果子，成为基督的新妇。彼前 2:5 你们来到主面前，也就像活石，被建造成为灵宫，作圣洁的祭司，借着耶稣基督奉献神所悦纳的灵祭。

太 22:37-38 耶稣对他说：“你要尽心、尽性、尽意爱主—你的神。这是诫命中的第一，且是最大的。约 14:23 耶稣回答说：人若爱我，就必遵守我的道；我父也必爱他，并且我们要到他那里去，与他同住。诗 27:4 有一件事，我曾求耶和华，我仍要寻求：就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中，瞻仰他的荣美，在他的殿里求问。

何 6:3 我们务要认识耶和华，竭力追求认识他。他出现确如晨光；他必临到我们像甘雨，像滋润田地的春雨。约 15:5 我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果子；因为离了我，你们就不能做什么。提前 4:7-8 只是要弃绝那世俗的言语和老妇荒谬的话，在敬虔上操练自己。“操练身体，益处还少；惟独敬虔，凡事都有益处，因有今生和来生的应许。

” 路 9:23 耶稣又对众人说：若有人要跟从我，就当舍己，天天背起他的十字架来跟从我。彼前 5:5 你们年幼的，也要顺服年长的。就是你们众人也都要以谦卑束腰，彼此顺服；因为神阻挡骄傲的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。太 7:21 凡称呼我『主啊，主啊』的人不能都进天国；惟独遵行我天父旨意的人才能进去。启 19:7 我们要欢喜快乐，将荣耀归给他。

因为羔羊婚娶的时候到了，新妇也自己预备好了。

IV. 一个渴望圣灵复兴的追求

教会是圣灵掌权的神国的彰显，我们寻求心意不断更新变化，活出在基督里的身份，彰显圣灵中的大能，行使神国度王的权柄，胜过阴间的权势，破除仇敌在人心中的辖制、及其在世上的各种黑暗营垒。因此我们要接受栽培装备，常常谨守心思意念，宣告神的话语，警醒恒切祷告，成为基督的精兵，迎接末世即将来临的圣灵大复兴与灵魂大收割。

罗 14:17 因为神的国不在乎吃喝，只在乎公义、和平，并圣灵中的喜乐。林前 4:20 因为神的国不在乎言语，乃在乎权能。罗 12:2 不要效法这个世界，只要心意更新而变化，叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。林后 5:17 若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人，旧事已过，都变成新的了。罗 5:17 若因一人的过犯，死就因这一人作了王，何况那些受洪恩又蒙所赐之义的，岂不更要因耶稣基督一人在生命中作王吗？

弗 2:6 他又叫我们与基督耶稣一同复活，一同坐在天上，林后 10:4-5 我们争战的兵器本不是属血气的，乃是在神面前有能力，可以攻破坚固的营垒，将各样的计谋，各样拦阻人认识神的那些自高之事，一概攻破了，又将人所有的心意夺回，使他都顺服基督。罗 10:9-10 你若口里认耶稣为主，心里信神叫他从死里复活，就必得救。因为，人心里相信就可以称义，口里承认就可以得救。

西 4:2 你们要恒切祷告，在此警醒感恩。提后 2:3-4 你要和我同受苦难，好像基督耶稣的精兵。凡在军中当兵的，不将世务缠身，好叫那招他当兵的人喜悦。珥 2:28-31 以后，我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。你们的儿女要说预言；你们的老年人要做异梦，少年人要见异象。在那些日子，我要将我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女。在天上地下，我要显出奇事，有血，有火，有烟柱。日头要变为黑暗，月亮要变为血，这都在耶和华大而可畏的日子未到以前。太 24:14 这天国的福音要传遍天下，对万民作见证，然后末期才来到。

五. 我们对合一的态度

我们对合一的态度：合一是神的心意，是主耶稣离世前特别为门徒祷告的，合一中有神的大能和祝福，因此合一是仇敌魔鬼所惧怕、且要竭力破坏的。所以在教会大家庭中我们要与家人们在爱中和睦相处，同心同行，并要顺服教会领袖，拒绝闲言及负面的话，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。我们要遵循加拿大宣道会信仰宣言所陈明的圣经原则，不传播与我们教会的信仰与教导相违背的教义，与弟兄姐妹们在保守合一上彼此尽责。

弗 4:1-3 我为主被囚的劝你们：既然蒙召，行事为人就当与蒙召的恩相称。凡事谦虚、温柔、忍耐，用爱心互相宽容，用和平彼此联络，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。约 17:20-23 我不但为这些人祈求，也为那些因他们的话信我的人祈求，使他们都合而为一。正如你父在我里面，我在你里面，使他们也在我们里面，叫世人可以信你差了我来。

你所赐给我的荣耀，我已赐给他们，使他们合而为一，像我们合而为一。我在他们里面，你在我里面，使他们完完全全地合而为一，叫世人知道你差了我来，也知道你爱他们如同爱我一样。林前 1:10 弟兄们，我借我们主耶稣基督的名劝你们都说一样的话。你们中间也不可分党，只要一心一意，彼此相合。弗 4:29 污秽的言语一句不可出口，只要随事说造就人的好话，叫听见的人得益处。

太 12:36 我又告诉你们，凡人所说的闲话，当审判的日子，必要句句供出来；来 13:17 你们要依从那些引导你们的，且要顺服。因他们为你们的灵魂时刻儆醒，好像那将来交账的人。你们要使他们交的时候有快乐，不至忧愁。若忧愁就与你们无益了。雅 3:1 我的弟兄们，不要多人作师傅，因为晓得我们要受更重的判断。罗 16:17 弟兄们，那些离间你们、叫你们跌倒、背乎所学之道的人，我劝你们要留意躲避他们。

罗 15:7 所以，你们要彼此接纳，如同基督接纳你们一样，使荣耀归与神。徒 2:46-47 他们天天同心合意，恒切的在殿里且在家中擘饼，存著欢喜诚实的心用饭，赞美神，得众民的喜爱。主将得救的人，天天加给他们。

关于合一，有三个要点：

1)

在基要真理上，要合一（In essentials, unity）弗 4:4-6 身体只有一个，圣灵只有一个，正如你们蒙召同有一个指望。一主，一信，一洗，一神，就是众人的父，超乎众人之上，贯乎众人之中，也住在众人之内。

2)

在非基要真理上，要自由（In non-essentials, liberty）罗 14:1 信心软弱的，你们要接纳，但不要辩论所疑惑的事。罗 14:4 你是谁，竟论断别人的仆人呢？他或站住或跌倒，自有他的主人在；而且他也必要站住，因为主能使他站住。罗 14:12 这样看来，我们各人必要将自己的事在神面前说明。罗 14:22 你有信心，就当在神面前守着。人在自己以为可行的事上能不自责，就有福了。

3)

在一切事上，要有爱（In all things, charity）林前 13:1-3 我若能说万人的方言，并天使的话语，却没有爱，我就成了鸣的锣，响的钹一般。我若有先知讲道之能，也明白各样的奥秘，各样的知识，而且有全备的信，叫我能够移山，却没有爱，我就算不得什么。我若将所有的周济穷人，又舍己身叫人焚烧，却没有爱，仍然与我无益。

第二部分宣道会的特征

一. 宣道会简史

宣道会创办人宣信博士（A. B. Simpson）于 1843 年生于加拿大爱德华王子岛，自小在家庭受到严谨的“苏格兰长老会”传统教导。少年时虽未重生，便已渴望成为牧师。后来全家移居安省漆咸市（Chatham），在替他补习的牧师家，在偶然的机会中翻阅一本小书，得以明白福音，便决志接受主。神学毕业后，在安省海明顿市、美国肯塔基路易市、纽约市的长老会牧会事奉，都有很大的果效。

宣信博士除了有重生的经历外，后来还领受了圣灵充满，并有病得医治的经历。在 1881 年因着来自神的对广传福音和普世宣教的呼召和负担，宣信博士离开了长老会，致力与传福音、宣教、追求灵命进深的事工。先后成立了“基督徒联盟”（The Christian Alliance；注重“基督徒生命进深”）和“福音派宣教士联盟”（The Evangelical Missionary Alliance；强调“普世宣教”）两个组织。

于 1896 年这两个运动合并组成“基督徒与宣教士联盟”（Christian and Missionary Alliance），中文简称宣道会。在宣道会成立以前，联盟运动的早期，加拿大的牧者和信徒已经积极参与。加拿大的沈文牧师（John Salmon）和侯兰弟兄（William Howland）便是宣道会第一届的领导职员。

宣道会本由美加共同开始，故加拿大各地区亦归纽约市的总会照管，后来因为有碍发展，于 1981 年正式成立加拿大宣道会。

二. 宣道会的四重福音

宣道会的标志：

宣道会的四重福音：

1.基督是拯救之主 Christ our Saviour（十架）因为世人都犯了罪，与神隔绝，陷于痛苦和败坏死亡里，等候审判与定罪。但耶稣基督按着圣经所记，为我们降生，又为我们的必死牺牲了自己的生命，就是义的代替了不义，为我们付上了赎价。故此当一个罪人相信福音接受基督为救主时，他便得蒙救赎，他的罪得到赦免，他也可以得到重生，成为天父的儿女，将来承受永远的荣耀。

2.基督是成圣之主 Christ our Sanctifier（洗濯盆）主耶稣居住在我们的心内，运行在我们的行动中，以致我们变成了祂的样式。成圣是我们不断的顺服和相信，使我们得着这福份。神是借着圣灵作成成圣的工作。我们透过圣灵的洗，与基督联合。圣灵入住我们生命以后，祂在我们里面作保惠师，带领、保守、安慰、督责和加力，使我们成为神所喜悦的儿女，过圣洁、蒙爱的生活。

3.基督是医治之主 Christ our Healer（油壶）我们相信主耶稣已经为其顺服的儿女们，预备了身体所需要的力量与医治。基督乃是一位大祭司，祂体恤我们的软弱，「凡摸着祂的人，就都好了」（可 6:56）。所以每一位信徒，我们都能从主里面支取力量与医治，只要我们完全向基督降服，笃信不疑祂的应许，并住在祂里面，我们必能过着健康和满有力量的生活。无论我们是心灵上、精神上或是肉体上的疾病，主都可以医治。神有时会透过医生、药物或者祈祷来医治我们，所以我们毋须只去祷告而不吃药。

4.基督是再来之王 Christ our Coming King（冠冕）我们相信主耶稣必亲自再降地上。基督的再临不是精神上的乃是有形有体的临到地上，并且建立其荣耀、公义、和平的国度。故我们应当儆醒等候主再来，并渴望祂的显现，在祂的统治下生活。盼望是一种强大的属灵动力，可以帮助我们过圣洁儆醒的生活，尽力将福音传遍天下，因为福音必须传遍天下，末期才会来临。

三. 宣道会的两个核心价值

宣道会有两个核心价值：

1. 生命进深（The Deeper Christian Life）

2. 普世宣教（World Evangelization）

第三部分教会会友的意义

一. 为什么要有教会会友

I. 地方教会的重要性

从新约圣经，可以看见地方教会在神心目中具有无可取代的重要性。在四福音书里，主耶稣使用“教会”这个词时，指的显然是具体的人的群体（太 18:15-20；参 16:18-19）。而且，升天的主耶稣基督在启示录 2 章和 3 章所提到的教会，也是具体的地方教会。按照主的教导，使徒们在各地建立地方教会，并给予具体的指导（徒 14:21-23；提前 3:15； 4:12-16；5:17-20；提后 2:22-26；多 1:5）。

在使徒行传，“教会”这词的使用都与具体的地方教会相关（8:1；11:22，26；13:1；15:3-4，22；20:17）。在使徒书信里这个模式被继续延用（林前 1:2；林后 1:1；帖前 1:1；帖后 1:1）。这些书信也用一般用语谈论众教会（罗 16:4；林前 4:17；7:17；11:16；14:34；16:19）。

在所有这些经文里，显然普世教会（或宇宙教会）是透过可见的地方教会群体具体表现出来的。从新约看见，基督徒都聚集在一起。许多经文显明信徒该如何 “彼此” 相处，而且基督徒彼此相处的关系不应该只停留在主日敬拜，更要涵盖到平日的生活中（约 13:34-35；罗 12:5，9-19；14:19；15:1-2，14；加 6:2；弗 4:32；5:19-21；腓 2:3-4；帖前 4:9；5:11；来 10:24-25；雅 5:13-16；约壹 4:20）。

II. 成为教会会友的重要性

会友与非会友的区别在于：归属与委身。教会是神的家，成为会友意味着选择归属、委身于一个地方教会，在这个属灵的大家庭中得着教导和引导，领受供应和喂养，蒙受保守和祝福，并与家人们在爱中相互建造、共同成长。委身对我们的社会潮流是一个矫正。我们所处的社会，已经越来越少人愿意为任何事情委身，不管是一个婚姻、工作、教会、国家。

这种态度制造出教会消费者心态。然而，神是守约施慈爱的神，祂对我们的爱是委身、爱到底的爱，「正如基督爱教会，为教会舍己。」（弗 5:25）。作为神的儿女，我们要效法祂的品格，委身于教会将促进我们在爱中的学习和成长，帮助我们逐渐改变得越来越像基督。

二. 会友的特权、责任与资格

I. 会友的特权

教会会友的特权包括：

1. 归属于地方教会，在基督身体中经历神的同在，经历同心合意祷告的大能；并得着真理的教导和引导，得着属灵大家庭的遮盖、保护、供应和祝福，使生命扎实成长。

2. 与肢体在团契中彼此激励、劝勉、安慰；在群体生活中生命被磨塑，培养谦卑顺服的敬虔品格，彼此配搭、相互造就，使恩赐得到培养、发挥；并且彼此关顾、彼此服事、彼此帮助、彼此负责，在爱中共同长进。

3. 有投票权、及被选举成为长议会成员（长老）的权利；有参与教会内外服事的机会，共同完成教会使命、建造基督身体。

II. 会友的责任

教会期待会友履行四方面的责任：

1. 我要敬拜教会的主，透过忠心参与教会的敬拜聚会，经常读经、祷告、守圣餐、及顺服神的话。我要在我人生的每个领域、每个季节（包括在交友、婚姻、家庭、单身、职场、退休、娱乐等各种情形中），都活出尊荣基督、荣神益人的敬虔生活。启示录 15:4 主啊，谁敢不敬畏你，不将荣耀归与你的名呢？因为独有你是圣的。万民都要来在你面前敬拜，因你公义的作为已经显出来了。

约翰福音 4:24 神是个灵，所以拜他的必须用心灵和诚实拜他。希伯来书 10:25 你们不可停止聚会，好像那些停止惯了的人，倒要彼此劝勉。既知道那日子临近，就更当如此。罗马书 10:17 可见，信道是从听道来的，听道是从基督的话来的。徒 2:42 都恒心遵守使徒的教训，彼此交接，掰饼，祈祷。罗马书 12:1-2 所以弟兄们，我以神的慈悲劝你们，将身体献上，当作活祭，是圣洁的，是神所喜悦的。

你们如此事奉，乃是理所当然的。不要效法这个世界，只要心意更新而变化，叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。提摩太前书 4:8 “操练身体，益处还少；惟独敬虔，凡事都有益处，因有今生和来生的应许。” 歌罗西书 3:23-24 无论作什么，都要从心里作，像是给主作的，不是给人作的。因你们知道从主那里，必得着基业为赏赐。

你们所事奉的乃是主基督。

2. 我要参与教会的事奉，透过归属、委身于教会，参与团契生活，与家人们彼此相爱相顾，接受教会栽培与装备，发掘我的恩赐与才干，参与教会服事，塑造一个仆人的心，使自己在基督身体中发挥功用，并经常在财务上支持教会事工，经历见证神的祝福，致力使万民做主的门徒，促使教会在圣洁、恩典和知识上不断长进。以弗所书 2:19 这样，你们不再作外人和客旅，是与圣徒同国，是神家里的人了；彼得前书 1:22 你们既因顺从真理，洁净了自己的心，以致爱弟兄没有虚假，就当从心里彼此切实相爱。

罗马书 12:10-11 爱弟兄，要彼此亲热；恭敬人，要彼此推让。殷勤，不可懒惰；要心里火热，常常服事主。以弗所书 4:11-16 他所赐的有使徒，有先知，有传福音的，有牧师和教师。为要成全圣徒，各尽其职，建立基督的身体。…… 惟用爱心说诚实话，凡事长进，连于元首基督。全身都靠他联络得合式，百节各按各职，照著各体的功用，彼此相助，便叫身体渐渐增长，在爱中建立自己。

希伯来书 10:24 又要彼此相顾，激发爱心，勉励行善。彼得前书 4:10 各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服事，作神百般恩赐的好管家。约翰福音 13:14-15 我是你们的主，你们的夫子，尚且洗你们的脚，你们也当彼此洗脚。我给你们作了榜样，叫你们照着我向你们所做的去做。玛拉基书 3:10 万军之耶和华说，你们要将当纳的十分之一，全然送入仓库，使我家有粮，以此试试我，是否为你们敞开天上的窗户，倾福与你们，甚至无处可容。

提摩太前书 5:17-18 那善于管理教会的长老，当以为配受加倍的敬奉。那劳苦传道教导人的，更当如此。因为经上说：“牛在场上踹谷的时候，不可笼住它的嘴”；又说： “工人得工价是应当的。” 彼得后书 3:18 你们却要在我们主—救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上有长进。愿荣耀归给他，从今直到永远。阿们！

3. 我要支持教会的见证，透过邀请没上教会的人来参加聚会，热情欢迎来访者，见证且分享福音，支持宣教，行善帮助有需要的人，在世上做盐做光。歌罗西书 4:2-6 你们要恒切祷告，在此警醒感恩。也要为我们祷告，求神给我们开传道的门，能以讲基督的奥秘（我为此被捆锁），叫我按着所该说的话将这奥秘发明出来。你们要爱惜光阴，用智慧与外人交往。

你们的言语要常常带着和气，好像用盐调和，就可知道该怎样回答各人。彼得前书 2:12 你们在外邦人中，应当品行端正，叫那些毁谤你们是作恶的，因看见你们的好行为，便在鉴察的日子，归荣耀给神。约翰福音 20:21 耶稣又对他们说，愿你们平安。父怎样差遣了我，我也照样差遣你们。马太福音 28:18-20 耶稣进前来，对他们说，天上，地下所有的权柄，都赐给我了。

所以你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父子圣灵的名，给他们施洗。凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。使徒行传 1:8 但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地，和撒马利亚，直到地极，作我的见证。希伯来书 13:16 只是不可忘记行善和捐输的事，因为这样的祭是神所喜悦的。

雅各书 1:27 在神我们的父面前，那清洁没有玷污的虔诚，就是看顾在患难中的孤儿寡妇，并且保守自己不沾染世俗。

4. 我要保守教会的合一，透过与教会大家庭中的弟兄姐妹和睦相处、同心同行，并顺服教会领袖，拒绝闲言及负面的话，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。我愿遵循加拿大宣道会信仰宣言所陈明的圣经原则，不传播与我们教会的信仰与教导相违背的教义，与弟兄姐妹们在保守合一、及遵守此盟约上彼此负责。以弗所书 4:1-3 我为主被囚的劝你们：既然蒙召，行事为人就当与蒙召的恩相称。

凡事谦虚、温柔、忍耐，用爱心互相宽容，用和平彼此联络，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。约翰福音 17:20-23 我不但为这些人祈求，也为那些因他们的话信我的人祈求，使他们都合而为一。正如你父在我里面，我在你里面，使他们也在我们里面，叫世人可以信你差了我来。你所赐给我的荣耀，我已赐给他们，使他们合而为一，像我们合而为一。

我在他们里面，你在我里面，使他们完完全全地合而为一，叫世人知道你差了我来，也知道你爱他们如同爱我一样。哥林多前书 1:10 弟兄们，我借我们主耶稣基督的名劝你们都说一样的话。你们中间也不可分党，只要一心一意，彼此相合。以弗所书 4:29 污秽的言语一句不可出口，只要随事说造就人的好话，叫听见的人得益处。马太福音 12:36 我又告诉你们，凡人所说的闲话，当审判的日子，必要句句供出来；希伯来书 13:17 你们要依从那些引导你们的，且要顺服。

因他们为你们的灵魂时刻儆醒，好像那将来交账的人。你们要使他们交的时候有快乐，不至忧愁。若忧愁就与你们无益了。雅各书 3:1 我的弟兄们，不要多人作师傅，因为晓得我们要受更重的判断。罗马书 16:17 弟兄们，那些离间你们、叫你们跌倒、背乎所学之道的人，我劝你们要留意躲避他们。罗马书 15:7 所以，你们要彼此接纳，如同基督接纳你们一样，使荣耀归与神。

使徒行传 2:46-47 他们天天同心合意，恒切的在殿里且在家中擘饼，存著欢喜诚实的心用饭，赞美神，得众民的喜爱。主将得救的人，天天加给他们。

地方教会宪章 Local Church Constitution

Preamble 前言

The Local Church Constitution has been framed and adopted by the General Assembly of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada, the denomination’s highest legislative body.

本地方教会宪章由本宗最高立法机构加拿大宣道会总会编制、采用。

Because each Christian and Missionary Alliance church is an integral part of the national and worldwide fellowship, it is united in governance, fellowship, and service in order to promote unity of faith in the fullness of Jesus Christ as Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King, thereby facilitating the spread of the Gospel at home and abroad under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Each local church shall be governed by the following constitution.

所有宣道会教会均为加拿大宣道会及国际宣道会联会的一部分，理应于治理、团契及事奉上同心合意，全力促进在对耶稣基督作为拯救之主、成圣之主、医治之主、再来之王之丰满的信仰的合一，以便在圣灵的引导下，推动福音遍传国内、普传海外。

各地方教会的治理应遵循以下宪章。

This constitution has two objectives: 本宪章目的有二：

1) to state the purpose of this local church and to define the nature of the relationships of this local church to The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada and the district of which it is an integral part; and 阐明本堂宗旨，并说明本堂与加拿大宣道会、及本堂与所属区会间的关系；以及 2) to stipulate the enabling instruments, legal procedures, and the empowering conditions under which this local church is to carry out its local and worldwide work.

规定本堂为开展本地及全球事工之有效途径、法律程序和授权条件。

The local church is the fundamental unit of Christian fellowship as exemplified in the Scripture. Faithfulness in multiplying churches around the world that are nourished in the Bible and full of the Holy Spirit is the Scriptural pattern for carrying out the redemptive purposes of God and the Great Commission of our Lord and Saviour. The statement of our founder, A.B. Simpson, is as relevant today as when he gave it in his address to General Council in 1912:

地方教会如圣经所示，乃基督徒团契相交之基本单位。忠心地在普世倍增建立以圣经为本、被圣灵充满之教会，乃实行神救赎目的及我们救主耶稣大使命之圣经模式。本会创办人宣信博士在 1912 年对总会委员会的宣言，至今依然恰合时宜：

“We need to be perfectly adjusted in our loyalty to Christ and at the same time in our responsibility to the special trust which He has committed to our hands. God does not want us to be afraid of losing our consecration by being true to The Christian and Missionary Alliance, by knowing how to keep rank and by marching loyally under our own standard.

「我们需要在忠于基督，与祂所交于我们之手的特别托付间取得完美的协调。

神不愿意我们在忠于宣道会，委身于此标志下同心同行之时，却担心失去对祂的圣洁纯全。

“Further, we must have the right adjustment of our home and foreign work, and the interdependence each upon the other, the home work as the constituency of the foreign, and the foreign as the outlet and complement of the other.

「此外，我们必须在国内外事工上协调得当，使两者相辅相成，国内事工为国外事工之基石，国外事工为国内事工之展延和补充。

“Our foreign work is not only the fulfillment of the supreme duty of the Church of Christ, but the loftiest inspiration and uplift of our whole Christian life at home.

「我们国外的事工不仅是为了达成基督教会的最高义务，也是对本国基督徒生命的最高鼓舞和提升。

“God grant that this work may never lose its old simplicity, self-sacrifice and separation, not only from the secular but from the religious world in its spirit and practice. But at the same time, we must keep abreast of the progress of our age and be men and women of today in our message and ministry to our generation.” 「愿神保守此事工永不失其原有之纯朴与舍己精神，不论与世俗界或宗教界，都持定实实在在分别为圣之态度。

但与此同时，我们也必须与时俱进，成为我们今天向这世代提供信息与服事的仆人使女。」

Article 1 – Name 第一章 — 名字

The name of this church shall be Nanaimo Chinese Alliance Church of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada.

本堂名字为加拿大宣道会的纳奈莫华人宣道会。

The church shall receive approval of the District Executive Committee of the district of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada of which it is a part prior to the legal registration or use of the name.

本堂应先从所属加拿大宣道会区会的区执行委员会获得该名字依法注册或使用之许可。

Article 2 – Purpose 第二章 — 宗旨

The purpose of this church is to glorify God by proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ and persuading men and women to become His disciples and dependable members of His Church.

本堂宗旨是藉宣讲耶稣基督的福音，劝万民作主的门徒并成为基督教会忠实的会友，让神得着荣耀。

Certain principles condition the implementation of this purpose: 有助于达成该宗旨的原则如下：

2.1. The church fosters spiritual maturation through participation of its members in worship and nurturing activities according to their maturity, gifts, and abilities in ministering to the needs of the body in her task of evangelization at home and abroad.

2.1. 本堂根据会友的成熟程度，以及他们协助本堂国内外福音事工的恩赐和能力，鼓励他们参加一切敬拜与栽培性活动，藉以促进其灵命之增长。

2.2. The church observes the ordinances of believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper and complies with the biblical qualifications for selection of church leadership. She considers the basic methods of communicating the Gospel to be through worship, preaching, teaching, witnessing, and example. She takes discipline and restoration of the offender seriously. She holds that the fullness of the Holy Spirit is essential for holiness of life and effective witness. She affirms the necessity for fervent prayer, faithful service and sacrificial giving as modeled by Christ Himself. She regards social service and good citizenship as outgrowths of the Gospel.

2.2. 本堂奉行洗礼及圣餐两大圣礼，也按圣经所要求的资格选立教会领袖。本堂以敬拜、讲道、教导、见证和榜样为传福音的基本途径。本堂认真看待对违法者所采的纪律行动和挽回政策。本堂坚信圣灵充满乃圣洁生活与有力见证之要件。本堂肯定效法基督恒切祷告、忠心服事、牺牲奉献之必要性。本堂认为社会服务和良好公民乃福音必然结出的果子。

2.3. The local church is the visible, organized expression of the Body of Christ. She conducts her affairs decently and in order. She organizes herself so that all members can contribute according to their gifts and abilities to the total working of the body. She operates on the assumption that the congregation finds broader meaning in outreach by fulfilling her biblical responsibilities within and beyond the life and witness of the denomination.

2.3. 地方教会是基督身体可见性的组织，能令教会事务发展井井有条，使会友各按恩赐与能力参与基督身体的建造。地方教会的运作是在于推动会众落实圣经所托付本宗派里外生命与见证的职责，终致人人寻得深广意义，心满意足。

2.4. The church cultivates fellowship and not sectarianism. Her local and extended family seeks for common spiritual ground on which fellowship with other groups may be enriched and strengthened through an open and transparent relationship.

2.4. 本堂培植团契相交而非宗派主义。本堂寻求在共同的属灵基础上，藉着开放坦诚的关系，促进并丰富与其他团体的相交来往。

Article 3 – Statement of Faith 第三章 — 信条

This church subscribes to the following statement of faith which is the statement of faith of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada as amended from time to time.

本堂同意下述最新加拿大宣道会信条。

1. There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

只有一位神，即无限完美、永存不朽之圣父、圣子、圣灵三一真神。（赛 44:6, 45:5-6；太 5:48；申 32:4；太 3:16-17, 28:19）

2. Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in him are justified on the ground of his shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right-hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish his Kingdom of righteousness and peace.

耶稣基督既是真神，也是真人，因圣灵感孕，由童贞女马利亚所生。

祂在十架上以义者代替不义者，舍命牺牲，藉所流之血，叫一切信祂的人都得称为义。耶稣按圣经所说已经从死里复活，现今在至高神的右边作我们的大祭司，将来必再来建立祂公义和平的国度。（腓 2:6-11；来 2:14-18；西 2:9；太 1:18；路 1:35；林前 15:3-5；约壹 2:2；徒 13:39, 来 4:14-15；9:24-28；太 25:31-34；徒 1:11）

3. The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell, guide, teach and empower the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.

圣灵具有神的位格，奉差遣居于信徒之内，为其提供指引、教导、和能力，叫世人为罪、为义、为审判，自我责备。（约 14:16-17, 16:7-11；林前 2:10-12）

4. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of his will for the salvation of people. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.

新旧约圣经乃神所默示，在原文上毫无错误，既是神救赎人的完备启示，也是基督徒信仰与实践唯一属神的准则。

（提后 3:16, 彼后 1:20-21）

5. Humankind, originally created in the image and likeness of God, fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All people are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The destiny of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment, but that of the believer is everlasting joy and bliss.

人原是按神的形像和样式被造，因叛逆堕落，导至肉身与灵魂之死。

世人都生具罪性，与神的生命隔绝，只能藉主耶稣基督代赎之功得救。不悔改不信主的人将永远存留在有知觉的痛苦中，而信徒的结局乃是永远的福乐。（创 1:27；罗 8:8；约壹 2:2；太 25:41-46；帖后 1:7-10）

6. Salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ. Those who repent and believe in him are united with Christ through the Holy Spirit and are thereby regenerated (born again), justified, sanctified and granted the gift of eternal life as adopted children of God.

救恩单单出于耶稣基督，凡悔改信主的人都因圣灵的更新和重生，联于基督，称义成圣，得着永生的赏赐，成为上帝的儿女。

（多 3:5-7；徒 2:38；约 1:12；林前 6:11）

7. It is the will of God that in union with Christ each believer should be sanctified thoroughly thereby being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to God, receiving power for holy living and sacrificial and effective service toward the completion of Christ’s commission. This is accomplished through being filled with the Holy Spirit which is both a distinct event and progressive experience in the life of the believer.

按神的旨意，每一个联于基督的信徒都应该从罪恶与世界中分别出来，全然成圣，委身于神，并凭藉圣灵独特连续的充满，领受能力，过着圣洁的生活，有效摆上自己，完成基督的使命。

（帖前 5:23；徒 1:8；罗 12:1-2；加 5:16-25）

8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil as taught in the Scriptures are privileges for the Church in this present age.

主耶稣十架的救恩已为我们提供了肉体至终必全然得医治的明确应许。

教会长老为有病的人抹油祷告乃圣经清楚的教导。（赛 53:5；雅 5:13-16）

9. The universal Church, of which Christ is the Head, consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and commissioned by Christ to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations. The local church, the visible expression of the universal Church, is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together to worship God, to observe the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, to pray, to be edified through the Word of God, to fellowship, and to testify in word and deed to the good news of salvation both locally and globally. The local church enters relationships with other like-minded churches for accountability, encouragement and mission.

以基督为首的普世教会，涵盖所有相信主耶稣基督、被祂宝血所救赎、被圣灵所重生、被基督所差派到全世界对万民传福音的人。

地方教会作为普世教会的有形部份，是指一群相信基督的人所联合起来的团体，其目的是为了在一起敬拜上帝、施行洗礼与圣餐礼、祷告、从神的话语中得造就、彼此团契、并藉言语和行为由近及远证实救恩的好消息。地方教会为了彼此守望、互相鼓励、共同宣教，所以就与其他志同道合的教会相交来往。（弗 3:6-12，1:22-23；徒 2:41-47；来 10:25；太 28:19-20；徒 1:8，11:19-30, 15）

10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.

义者与不义者都必身体复活；义者复活得生，不义者复活定罪。（林前 15:20-23；帖后 1:7-10）

11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible. As the believer’s blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive for holy living and sacrificial service toward the completion of Christ’s commission.

主耶稣基督之第二次再来乃随时随地、明明可见的亲身降临。

这有福的盼望，当能激励信徒过圣洁生活、委身事主，完成基督的使命。（帖前 4:13-17；林前 1:7；多 2:11-14；太 24:14，28:18-20）

Article 4 – Relationship 第四章 — 关系

The policies and regulations of this church shall be consistent with, and the church shall operate in accordance with, the Manual of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada as amended from time to time.

本堂为《加拿大宣道会手册》中所定义之加拿大宣道会总会及所属区会属下之成员，一切政策和规定都应与最新《加拿大宣道会手册》保持一致，并应照此手册运作。

Article 5 – Ordinances 第五章 — 圣礼

Believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper are recognized as the two ordinances of the Church as commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ. Baptism is an act of obedience for all believers. While other modes of believer’s baptism are recognized, baptism by immersion is taught and practiced as the Scriptural mode. The Lord’s Supper is administered regularly and offered to all believers.

信徒的洗礼和圣餐，是本堂按主耶稣基督的命令所奉行的两项圣礼。

洗礼是所有信徒行动上应有的顺服。虽然信徒洗礼有许多可被接受的模式，但只有浸礼被指为圣经所教导和施行的模式。圣餐应定期向所有信徒提供。

beneficial owner of all real property, appurtenances and effects.

The above requirements may be waived by an incorporated church by a two-thirds majority of the members present at a duly called meeting of the membership and with the approval of the District Executive Committee. In such cases, the church shall have a clause in its bylaws which states that, should the church cease to exist as a corporate body, or cease to be subject to the Manual, which includes the statement of faith of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada, all of its real property, appurtenances, and effects then owned or held by it shall inure to the benefit of, and become the property of, the district corporation of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada, within which jurisdiction this church is located or with which it is affiliated by law. Further, the church will assume full responsibility for all encumbrances with respect to the subject property and will obtain a full release for the district of any security interest provided by the district for the benefit of the local church.

Preamble 前言

WHEREAS The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada has stated its recognition and intent with respect to the discipline of members of local churches within the denomination (see Local Church Constitution Article 6, Item 6.2); 鉴于：加拿大宣道会已在《地方教会宪章》第六章 6.2 条中表明了有关本宗各地方教会会友纪律的意向； AND WHEREAS the following scriptural references have been reviewed and relied upon as the biblical basis for the regulations which follow: (Matthew 18:15-20; I Corinthians 5:9-13, 6:1-11; I Timothy 5:19-21; II Thessalonians 3:14-15); 又鉴于：以下条例依据于圣经教导（马太福音十八 15-20；哥林多前书五 9-13，六 111；提摩太前书五 19-21；帖撒罗尼迦后书三 14-15）； AND WHEREAS The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada desires to establish clear, fair and scriptural regulations for the implementation of church discipline; 再鉴于：加拿大宣道会有意建立明确、公平并合乎圣经的条例以执行教会纪律； The following Uniform Regulations shall be used by all local churches in The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada.

以下的统一条例应在加拿大宣道会隶属下的所有地方教会中执行。

1. Uniform Regulations 统一条例

1.1. It shall be a condition of membership in a local church of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada that each member accept and comply with the authority of the local church to discipline members in accordance with these Uniform Regulations.

1.1. 加拿大宣道会隶属之地方教会会籍的条件，应包括会友接受并遵从地方教会根据本统一条例对会友进行纪律处分的权柄。

1.2. If a member(s) of a local church of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada is alleged to be in violation of scriptural moral standards, doctrinal truth or proper Christian behaviour, he or she may be subject to the following inquiry and discipline procedure.

1.2.

如果任何加拿大宣道会地方教会的会友被指控违反了圣经道德标准、教义真理或基督徒应有的操守，他或她可能须接受以下调查和纪律程序。

The term “violation of scriptural moral standards” as used by The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada shall include, but not be limited to, sexual activity outside of a monogamous heterosexual marriage, sexual harassment or assault, homosexuality, misappropriation of funds, dishonesty or fraud in business and legal transactions, and guilt in a criminal offense.

加拿大宣道会所指的“违反圣经道德标准”，包括但不限于：一夫一妻异性婚姻以外的性行为、性骚扰或侵犯、同性恋、挪用公款、在商业和合法交易中不诚实或诈骗、刑事犯罪。

2. General Directives for Investigation and Discipline 调查和惩戒的一般指导原则

2.1. Ecclesiastical law permits proceedings on the presumption of innocence, but it does not endorse hasty action on the basis of rumour. It is therefore necessary that one or more responsible persons substantiate charges by signing their names to a written statement or by giving personal testimony with full consent that they may be identified before proceeding with an investigation.

2.1. 教会法律虽然允许在无罪推定的前提下进行调查，但不赞成根据谣言草率行动。因此，在进行调查之前，必须有一位以上的指控人在书面声明上签名或亲自作证，同意必要时公开其身份。

2.2. Since negative criticism is very serious, it is essential that the testimony of accusers or witnesses be confirmed by reliable evidence to ascertain the possibility of malice or revenge. Witnesses should be reminded that, while they are not under oath, and therefore not subject to charges of perjury, they are not immune from civil suit for defamation of character if their testimony is proven to be malicious or grossly imaginative.

2.2. 负面的指控是非常严重的事，因此指控人或证人的证词都必须被可靠的证据确认没有恶意中伤或报复的可能性。教会应提醒证人，他们虽然没有宣誓，因此不会受到伪证罪的刑事指控，但是如果证词被证明是出于恶意或严重偏离事实，他们仍可能以毁坏名誉罪被提起民事诉讼。

2.3. The offenses for which a person may be given a hearing include violation of a scriptural moral standard, promulgation of doctrines that are contrary to the basic tenets of the Christian faith as set forth in the Statement of Faith of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada, and any violation of the law of which he/she has been found guilty.

2.3. 在下列情况下可举行听证会：当事人违反圣经道德标准，宣扬与加拿大宣道会信条中基要真理相抵触的教义，被发现触犯法律。

2.4. All investigations shall be conducted with Christian sincerity. Rumours must be verified by reliable evidence to determine what substance may be behind them. False accusation is contrary to the Ten Commandments. Damage to one’s reputation is very difficult to repair. Proper restitution can be made only in part to one who has lost the confidence of good people through unfounded charges of wrong conduct.

2.4. 所有的调查都必须以基督徒的真诚进行，传闻必须通过可靠的证据证实其事实根据，诬告是违反十诫的。一个人的名声一旦被损坏后就很难修复，再适当的弥补也只能部分地恢复一个因毫无根据的指控而失去信用的人。

2.5. The integrity of the church demands, however, that personal feelings shall not prevent thorough investigation of alleged wrongdoing. Where there is sound and reliable evidence of guilt, justice requires the pursuit of unbiased inquiry. Where there is proof of violation of a scriptural moral standard, there is required also the application of suitable discipline.

2.5. 然而，为了保持教会的诚信，对被指控的不法行为的彻底调查不可因私人感情而受阻。一旦有确实和可靠的证据，公义的原则要求进行客观的调查。如果被证实违反圣经道德标准，就应该进行相应的纪律处分。

2.6. Since ecclesiastical law permits the respondent to testify on behalf of himself/herself, such evidence shall not be released to use in any civil proceeding in which the accused may become involved. It is essential that all records, whether of investigation or of discipline, be guarded carefully lest they become the basis of gossip or unauthorized use. All records shall be filed with the pastor. The pastor shall report all disciplinary matters to the district superintendent.

2.6. 由于教会法允许被指控者自辩，这类证据不得在任何可能牵涉到被指控者的民事诉讼中使用。无论是调查或纪律处分的记录，都必须小心谨慎地保管，以免被当作闲聊话柄或被滥用。所有的记录均应提交牧师，牧师应向区监督报告所有纪律处分事项。

2.7. The use of tape recordings or any other type of magnetic recordings shall be permitted only if such recordings are made with the full knowledge of those whose testimony or charges are given. No secret recordings shall be admissible as evidence. The names of all whose voices are recorded shall be given clearly at the beginning of their testimony. Recordings may be made of any sessions of investigation or discipline.

2.7. 录音、录影或任何其他方式的电子记录都必须在作证或指控者完全知情下进行，秘密录音或录像不可被采纳为证据，所有被录音者在作证开始前都必须明确地表明其姓名。调查或纪律处分的任何阶段都可以进行录音或录像。

2.7.1 Step 1: A member(s) of the Board or a member(s) of the local church pastoral staff shall meet with the member in question who is alleged to be in violation of scriptural moral standards, doctrinal truth or proper Christian behaviour, and they

shall attempt to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of the Board and the member in question.

2.7.1. 第一步：长议会成员或地方教会教牧同工应先与被指控违反圣经道德标准、教义真理或基督徒操守的会友会面，先尝试以长议会和被指控会友都满意的方式来解决问题。

2.7.2. Step 2: If the matter is not resolved by Step 1, then the senior pastor, or his designated representative, and a subcommittee of the Board of the local church shall meet with the member(s) in question and attempt to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of the Board and the member(s) in question.

2.7.2. 第二步：如果第一步无法解决问题，主任牧师或其指定代表应与地方教会长议会的小组委员会要一起与被指控会友会面，尝试以长议会和被指控会友都满意的方式来解决问题。

2.7.3. Step 3: If the matter is not resolved by Step 2, then a special meeting of the members of the Board may be called by the chair, or his designated representative, to deal exclusively with the matter of the allegations against the member in question. The member(s) in question shall be notified and invited to the special meeting. The chair, or his designated representative of the Board of the local church shall act as the chair of this meeting. In the special meeting, the allegations against the member in question shall be summarized and the questions and discussion shall be allowed by those present during the meeting. After giving consideration to the issue, the Board shall determine specific terms and conditions of any discipline that it deems appropriate. The action of the Board and the results of the vote shall be final and binding on the Board, the local church and the member(s) in question, subject to the rights of appeal pursuant to the Uniform Regulations.

2.7.3. 第三步：如果第二步无法解决问题，长议会主席或其指定代表应单独为处理此项指控召集长议会特别会议，被指控会友应被告知并受邀参加该特别会议。长议会主席或其指定代表应主持会议，会议应对该指控进行总结，与会者均有权提问和讨论。经过详细考虑后，长议会应决定适当的纪律处分内容和条件。长议会的行动和表决结果将成为最后定案，并对长议会、地方教会和被指控会友具有约束力，但被指控会友根据本统一条例有上述权。

纳奈莫华人宣道会 Nanaimo Chinese Alliance Church

会友盟约 Membership Covenant 我已经接受耶稣基督为我的主和个人的救主，并在得救后受了洗礼，我认同纳奈莫华人宣道会的教义、使命和组织结构，我愿意成为纳奈莫华人宣道会会友，我将自己委身于神、及纳奈莫华人宣道会大家庭的其他会友。我愿在神和会众面前，虔诚且欣愉地立约，我委身遵守以下承诺，愿神帮助我：

1. 我要敬拜教会的主，透过忠心参与教会的敬拜聚会，经常读经、祷告、守圣餐、及顺服神的话。我要在我人生的每个领域、每个季节（包括在交友、婚姻、家庭、单身、职场、退休、娱乐等各种情形中），都活出尊荣基督、荣神益人的敬虔生活。启示录 15:4 主啊，谁敢不敬畏你，不将荣耀归与你的名呢？因为独有你是圣的。万民都要来在你面前敬拜，因你公义的作为已经显出来了。

约翰福音 4:24 神是个灵，所以拜他的必须用心灵和诚实拜他。希伯来书 10:25 你们不可停止聚会，好像那些停止惯了的人，倒要彼此劝勉。既知道那日子临近，就更当如此。罗马书 10:17 可见，信道是从听道来的，听道是从基督的话来的。徒 2:42 都恒心遵守使徒的教训，彼此交接，掰饼，祈祷。罗马书 12:1-2 所以弟兄们，我以神的慈悲劝你们，将身体献上，当作活祭，是圣洁的，是神所喜悦的。

你们如此事奉，乃是理所当然的。不要效法这个世界，只要心意更新而变化，叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。提摩太前书 4:8 “操练身体，益处还少；惟独敬虔，凡事都有益处，因有今生和来生的应许。” 歌罗西书 3:23-24 无论作什么，都要从心里作，像是给主作的，不是给人作的。因你们知道从主那里，必得着基业为赏赐。

你们所事奉的乃是主基督。

2. 我要参与教会的事奉，透过归属、委身于教会，参与团契生活，与家人们彼此相爱相顾，接受教会栽培与装备，发掘我的恩赐与才干，参与教会服事，塑造一个仆人的心，使自己在基督身体中发挥功用，并经常在财务上支持教会事工，经历见证神的祝福，致力使万民做主的门徒，促使教会在圣洁、恩典和知识上不断长进。以弗所书 2:19 这样，你们不再作外人和客旅，是与圣徒同国，是神家里的人了；彼得前书 1:22 你们既因顺从真理，洁净了自己的心，以致爱弟兄没有虚假，就当从心里彼此切实相爱。

罗马书 12:10-11 爱弟兄，要彼此亲热；恭敬人，要彼此推让。殷勤，不可懒惰；要心里火热，常常服事主。以弗所书 4:11-16 他所赐的有使徒，有先知，有传福音的，有牧师和教师。为要成全圣徒，各尽其职，建立基督的身体。…… 惟用爱心说诚实话，凡事长进，连于元首基督。全身都靠他联络得合式，百节各按各职，照著各体的功用，彼此相助，便叫身体渐渐增长，在爱中建立自己。

希伯来书 10:24 又要彼此相顾，激发爱心，勉励行善。彼得前书 4:10 各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服事，作神百般恩赐的好管家。约翰福音 13:14-15 我是你们的主，你们的夫子，尚且洗你们的脚，你们也当彼此洗脚。我给你们作了榜样，叫你们照着我向你们所做的去做。玛拉基书 3:10 万军之耶和华说，你们要将当纳的十分之一，全然送入仓库，使我家有粮，以此试试我，是否为你们敞开天上的窗户，倾福与你们，甚至无处可容。

提摩太前书 5:17-18 那善于管理教会的长老，当以为配受加倍的敬奉。那劳苦传道教导人的，更当如此。因为经上说：“牛在场上踹谷的时候，不可笼住它的嘴”；又说：“工人得工价是应当的。” 彼得后书 3:18 你们却要在我们主—救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上有长进。愿荣耀归给他，从今直到永远。阿们！

3. 我要支持教会的见证，透过邀请没上教会的人来参加聚会，热情欢迎来访者，见证

且分享福音，支持宣教，行善帮助有需要的人，在世上做盐做光。歌罗西书 4:2-6 你们要恒切祷告，在此警醒感恩。也要为我们祷告，求神给我们开传道的门，能以讲基督的奥秘（我为此被捆锁），叫我按着所该说的话将这奥秘发明出来。你们要爱惜光阴，用智慧与外人交往。你们的言语要常常带着和气，好像用盐调和，就可知道该怎样回答各人。彼得前书 2:12 你们在外邦人中，应当品行端正，叫那些毁谤你们是作恶的，因看见你们的好行为，便在鉴察的日子，归荣耀给神。

约翰福音 20:21 耶稣又对他们说，愿你们平安。父怎样差遣了我，我也照样差遣你们。马太福音 28:18-20 耶稣进前来，对他们说，天上，地下所有的权柄，都赐给我了。所以你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父子圣灵的名，给他们施洗。凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。使徒行传 1:8 但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地，和撒马利亚，直到地极，作我的见证。

希伯来书 13:16 只是不可忘记行善和捐输的事，因为这样的祭是神所喜悦的。雅各书 1:27 在神我们的父面前，那清洁没有玷污的虔诚，就是看顾在患难中的孤儿寡妇，并且保守自己不沾染世俗。

4. 我要保守教会的合一，透过与教会大家庭中的弟兄姐妹和睦相处、同心同行，并顺服教会领袖，拒绝闲言及负面的话，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。我愿遵循加拿大宣道会信仰宣言所陈明的圣经原则，不传播与我们教会的信仰与教导相违背的教义，与弟兄姐妹们在保守合一、及遵守此盟约上彼此负责。以弗所书 4:1-3 我为主被囚的劝你们：既然蒙召，行事为人就当与蒙召的恩相称。

凡事谦虚、温柔、忍耐，用爱心互相宽容，用和平彼此联络，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。约翰福音 17:20-23 我不但为这些人祈求，也为那些因他们的话信我的人祈求，使他们都合而为一。正如你父在我里面，我在你里面，使他们也在我们里面，叫世人可以信你差了我来。你所赐给我的荣耀，我已赐给他们，使他们合而为一，像我们合而为一。

我在他们里面，你在我里面，使他们完完全全地合而为一，叫世人知道你差了我来，也知道你爱他们如同爱我一样。哥林多前书 1:10 弟兄们，我借我们主耶稣基督的名劝你们都说一样的话。

你们中间也不可分党，只要一心一意，彼此相合。以弗所书 4:29 污秽的言语一句不可出口，只要随事说造就人的好话，叫听见的人得益处。马太福音 12:36 我又告诉你们，凡人所说的闲话，当审判的日子，必要句句供出来；希伯来书 13:17 你们要依从那些引导你们的，且要顺服。因他们为你们的灵魂时刻儆醒，好像那将来交账的人。你们要使他们交的时候有快乐，不至忧愁。

若忧愁就与你们无益了。雅各书 3:1 我的弟兄们，不要多人作师傅，因为晓得我们要受更重的判断。罗马书 16:17 弟兄们，那些离间你们、叫你们跌倒、背乎所学之道的人，我劝你们要留意躲避他们。罗马书 15:7 所以，你们要彼此接纳，如同基督接纳你们一样，使荣耀归与神。使徒行传 2:46-47 他们天天同心合意，恒切的在殿里且在家中擘饼，存著欢喜诚实的心用饭，赞美神，得众民的喜爱。

主将得救的人，天天加给他们。姓名 (英文)
