Section 2:6 Religious Liberty. We believe that every human being has a direct relationship with God and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; each ministry is independent and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; and that therefore Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from dictation and patronage of the other.
Section 2:7 Ministry Cooperation. We believe that local women’s and girl’s ministries can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by cooperating with each other. Such organizations, exist and function by the attempt to fulfill the great commission laid out in Matthew 28: 18-20. Cooperation in CHICKS is voluntary and may be terminated at any time. Ministries may likewise cooperate with interdenominational fellowships on a voluntary, independent basis.
