ABOUT THE CHURCH
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.
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.
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 teacher's usually teach directly from the Bible. The sermons you will hear from our pulpits can he supported by the Bible. In most sermons scripture references are given to enable the listener to check the Bible for himself to see if we are speaking the truth.
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. 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

God's Plan of Salvation
God's Plan of Salvation. (1) You must hear the gospel and recognize your condition; (2) You must have faith in God; (3) You must repent of your sins; (4) You must confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; (5) You must be baptized for the remission of your sins; and, (6) You must be faithful unto death.
Many in the denominational world today falsely teach that baptism is not necessary for salvation. "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the nam… Continue
