Our Purpose and Mission

Churches, as described in the New Testament, are made up of people. A church is not merely a building in which people meet, nor is it an organization that people join. The churches established in the first century (Acts 14:23) were groups of individuals who had obeyed the gospel and become Christ’s disciples (Acts 14:21).

Jesus instructs us in His Word on how to worship God, declaring, “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24). Over the centuries, men have often forsaken the practices of New Testament Christians for elaborate rituals. Here, the Christians seek to follow the simple and spiritual pattern of worship revealed in the New Testament.

Our Worship... What to Expect:

  1. The Lord’s Supper: We partake to remember what our Lord and Savior did to remove our sins. It includes unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine, observed weekly in commemoration of Christ’s death and sacrifice for our sins and our relationship with Him (Acts 2:24, 20:7, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

  2. Congregational Singing: We sing songs of praise and exhortation to encourage and educate in spiritual truths (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16).

  3. Bible Preaching: We present simple and understandable studies from God’s Word to teach and encourage (Acts 2:42, 20:7).

  4. Prayers: We offer prayers through Jesus Christ with humble hearts, requesting our needs, thanking God for His grace, and praising Him for His greatness (Acts 2:42; 1 Thessalonians 5:17).

  5. Monetary Contribution: Members of the flock give a monetary contribution. Our guests are not expected to contribute. Only the members are expected to give each Lord’s Day to carry out the scriptural work of the church (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:6-7).

The Lord has directed Christians to assemble regularly (Hebrews 10:24-25). The Christians who make up this congregation limit our collective activities to those for which we can establish clear Biblical authority, striving to ensure that what we do is pleasing to God (1 Corinthians 4:6).
