About the Church
Friendliness
You can expect a warm, friendly welcome. Friendliness is a natural response of a Christian. We believe that one of the basic foundation principles of Christianity is love and friendship toward our fellowman Matt. 22:36-40. True Chrisianity recognizes no sex, social or racial differences Gal. 3:28. Neither does it permit respect of persons on the basis of poverty or wealth James 2:1-9.

Simplicity
You can expect our worship to be simple. It's simple because it is based entirely on the worship authorized in the New Testament. Jesus taught that our worship was to be spiritual and according to truth John 4:24. Our worship to God includes the Lord's supper, giving, singing, prayer, and teaching the Gospel.

Order
You can expect our service to be with reverence and order. We strive to engage in all worship and service with decency and order I Cor. 14:40.

The Preacher is called a Brother and not a Reverend just as is described in the teachings of our Lord Jesus and the examples of Paul and Timothy. (Matt.23:8-9, Hebrews 13:23, II Peter 3:15-16) 

Singing
You can expect congregational singing. The purpose of our songs is to praise God, to teach and admonish one another through our singing Eph. 5:19 / Col. 3:16. Since the command to sing is specific and addressed to the individual, we do not add a mechanical instrument of music in our worship in songs. For the same reason we do not have choirs to sing for us or any type of mood music to entertain us. Many who have visited us have been highly impressed with the beauty and spirituality involved in congregational singing. (see Hebrews 13:15, Hebrews 2:12, Matt 26:30)

Teaching
You can expect Christ-centered, Bible teaching in our classrooms and pulpits. We believe the Bible to be an inspired, authoritative book 11 Tim. 3:16-17. We believe that if a man speaks it should be from the Word of God I Pet. 4: 11. Our Bible class teachers usually teach directly from the Bible. The sermons you will hear from our pulpits can he supported by the Bible. In my sermons scripture references are given so that the listener can check the Bible for himself to see if we are speaking the truth and speaking it in love. Acts 17:11, Eph 4:15

The Lord's Supper
You can expect us to partake of the Lord's Supper on the first day of every week which is Sunday. Jesus instituted this supper as a simple memorial of his death on the cross Matt 26:26-29 / I Cor. 11:23-26. As we partake of the unleavened bread and fruit of the vine, our minds are to be centered on the events of the cross related to His suffering body and His shed blood. In this act we have communion or fellowship with Christ I Cor. 10:16. It was the practice of the early church to eat the Lord's supper every first day of the week Acts 20:7

Baptism

Baptism is taught by Our Lord as a necessary step in the process of our salvation. (Mark 16:16, Acts 2:36-38, I Peter 3:20-21, Colossians 2:12. This is an act of faith in the operation of God that signifies a new spiritual birth in Christ according to Galatians 3:26-27, John 3:3-5, Revelations 7:14, Hebrews 9:14, Roman 6:4-5, 1 John 1:7, II Cor 5:17)

A House Divided..

I listened to a very inspiring message today. The bottom line was how Satan's lies have divided and torn asunder so many lives and left them void of the Truth and separated from the blessings of unity through the abundant life in Christ. I could not help but think that the only way to help more people see the truth is to expose Satan's lies. Truth is simple. It's real. It will lead to unity and thus "power, love, and a sound mind. The is just what is needed today. After hearing this wonderful…See More
