We are not a denomination and are not a part of any other religious organization. Our mission is not
to entertain, but to teach and preach God’s word as commanded in Matthew 28:19-20.
We are a 21st century congregation of Christians striving to follow the New Testament pattern of the
1st century Christians as commanded by God and recorded by the Apostles (2 Pet. 1:20-21), who
were the inspired messengers of God. We are a collection of people who have heard the Gospel
(Good News) of Christ and obeyed it (2 Thess. 1:8). We endeavor to encourage, strengthen, edify
and build up one another in the faith.
(Eph. 4:11-16).

We desire only to worship God as the 1st century Christians did, (John 4:24) “…in spirit and in
truth.” We therefore worship God in the following ways:
1) Observing the Lord’s Supper: We partake of unleavened bread and fruit of the vine to
commemorate the Lord’s death and sacrifice until he comes again. As did the New Testament
church, we observe the Lord’s Supper every 1st day of the week.
(Acts. 20:7; Luke 22:7-20; Mark 14:12-25; 1 Cor. 11:23-26).
2) Singing Songs of Praise to God: We lift our voices (a cappella) to God our Father in songs
of praise and joy; As did the New Testament church, we sing without instrumental
accompaniment. (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16)
3)Praying to our Heavenly Father: We offer our prayers in humility and thankfulness to God
through Jesus Christ. (1 Thess. 5:17; Acts. 2:42)
4)Studying the Bible through Preaching/Teaching: We study to know God’s will and
understand what He would have us to do.
(Prov. 9:10; 2 Tim. 2:15; John 5:39; 2 Tim. 3:16-17)
5)Contributing: We return unto God a portion of that with which he has blessed us. Members
are the only ones expected to give. Visitors may contribute if they wish, but they are not
pressured to do so. As did the New Testament church, we give with a cheerful heart.
(1 Cor. 16:1-2; 2 Cor. 9:6-7)
