Who are we?
We are a congregation believers who follow Jesus as Lord and Christ. As His disciples, we work together to learn and follow His teachings and example. (Matt. 28:18-20)
By God's grace, we strive to be more like Jesus every day. "Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus."
(1 Thess. 4:1-2, NKJV)
We are simply a congregation of believers who are "of Christ." Instead of man-made doctrines or traditions, we call on the name of Jesus alone as Lord of all, appealing to His word as our only authority. (1 Cor 1:11-13)
Our desire is to "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Col. 3:17). So that, "in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever."
(1 Peter 4:11)
What Is Our Worship Like?
1
Teaching
Our worship always includes teaching from the Bible. Romans 10:17 says that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." So, all of our sermons and studies, we strive to teach and speak only what we can read in the Bible as the word of God.
2
Prayer
We pray together (Philippians 4:6). In our prayers we offer up thanks and praise to God, pray about urgent needs, and ask for His help in this congregation and our community that all may come to faith in Jesus Christ.
3
Singing
We sing acapella, which means with our voices and not with mechanical instruments. Ephesians 5:19 teaches us to "speak to one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord."
4
Lord's Supper
We observe the Lord's Supper each first day of the week. According to Acts 20:7, "On the first day of the week"
the disciples "came together to break bread". Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 10: 20,
"The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?"
This is a time to remember Jesus's death, His body that was offered and His blood that was shed for sin. "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes" (1 Cor. 11:26). For this, we give thanks.
5
Giving
We give as as the Lord has blessed us each first day of the week. This is not tithing. 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 says, "On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper..." The members of this congregation give to expressing our love and gratitude to God and to help fund the work of this congregation. We do not solicit funds from our visitors.
Our Work as a Church?
In the New Testament, believers are seen working together in local churches to fulfill three areas of work. This summarizes the same kinds of work we do a local church:
- Edification (Ephesians 4:15-16): This involves building up or strengthening the disciples through teaching, exhortation, and instruction.
- Evangelism (1 Corinthians 9:14): This means to proclaim the good news of salvation. Christians did this locally, and support men who when about preaching in other areas (Philippians 4:12-18).
- Benevolence (1 Corinthians 16:1-4). This is the love and care disciples of Jesus are to show toward genuine physical needs. The New Testament churches are never seen engaging in frivolous activities, but were instructed to be diligent in addressing "urgent needs" (Titus 3:14), such as helping widows and others who were destitute (1 Timothy 5:3-16).
