Background:

Jesus Christ has been adding to His church since it began in Acts 2.  We are very simply an extension and part of that church, with Christ in full authority and control.  The Bible, specifically the New Testament, being the inspired word of God, teaches us the organization, setup, and order of the Church.  The scriptures also teach us how God wishes and expects to be worshipped by his followers today.

What We Believe:

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and as such, it is without error, and is the final and highest authority in life and doctrine.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.  II Tim. 3:16-17

Worship:

Our worship is simple and sincere.  Our goal is to worship in both spirit & truth (John 4:23-24)as God himself desires to be worshipped.  Everything we do comes straight from the examples that we find in the New Testament.  You are encouraged to take part in the service as we together worship and praise our God in Heaven.

Singing:

Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:19

The singing, you will notice, is done without the accompaniment of musical instruments.  This form of singing is called a-cappella singing.  We sing with our hearts as the Lord commands us in scripture.  Everyone is encouraged to participate and the singing is quite uplifting and enjoyable for all.

Prayer:

I Corinthians 14:15

Throughout the service there are many prayers that will be led by various men.  Prayer is a time for us to communicate with our heavenly Father through our Savior Jesus Christ.  These prayers are simple and come from the heart of the one who is leading the prayer.  The prayers are led by one man out loud while all others consider what is being said and offer their own prayers up to God as well.

Teaching:

Acts 20:7

All of the teaching is biblical.  We simply speak where the Bible speaks and are silent where it is silent.  Men who speak do so one by one so that it is orderly and edifying to all who are in the audience.  The sermons are designed to educate, uplift, motivate, and build up each person in the audience.  The Bible lies at the center of all the teaching.

Communion:

I Cor. 11: 23; Acts 20:7

Every Sunday the communion service is observed.  As the Christians in the New Testament practiced every first day of the week, we also perform this every first day of the week.  The bread is passed which represents the body of Jesus Christ which was broken on the cross.  Then the fruit of the vine is passed which is the communion of Christ’s blood that was shed on the cross for our sins.  This is a memorial that Jesus himself instituted with his disciples before his death.  It is important that we observe this every Sunday because in doing so we show the Lord’s death until he comes again. 

Contribution:

I Cor. 16:1-3; II Cor. 9:6-7

On every Sunday we also collect the offering of those who have laid by and stored as the Lord has prospered them.  This donation goes  to the work of the church and its ministry.  If you are visiting with us do not feel obligated to give.  We give cheerfully and of a loving heart which is described in the New Testament. 

The People:

We are simply a group of people of the same mind and faith who are longing only to please God with our lives.  Everyone is very nice and encouraging,  and we enjoy a refreshing family atmosphere as brothers and sisters in Christ.  We share the attitude of working together to help one another  to walk and remain faithful as true disciples of Jesus Christ.
