"Who We Are And What We Practice"

We are a friendly, non-denominational body of believers. Our goal is to be "Christians only."

Jesus said, "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24). We try, to the best of our ability, to follow this command in structuring our worship services. By careful study of the New Testament churches, it is revealed that items of worship observed by the first-century church were singing, praying, preaching, giving, and partaking of the Lord's Supper.

We practice only acappella singing.  We worship in song in this way because there is no Biblical mention of instrumental music in the first-century church (1 Corinthians 14:15, Ephesians 5:18-19, Colossians 3:16).  The result is a beautiful blending of all voices, seeking to praise and glorify God in spirit and love.

Another difference between our church and other religious groups is the weekly observance of the Lord's Supper. It is observed in memory of Christ's crucifixion. In Acts 20:7, we find "And upon the first day of the week ... the disciples came together to break bread." We follow this example and honor Jesus every week by participating in this communion. Those who participate have accepted Christ as the Son of God and as their Savior.

After study, prayer, and meditation, an individual may feel ready to be baptized as a means of remission of sins and salvation. (Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, John 3:5, 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 22:16). When a person is baptized in Christ for these reasons, he or she becomes a Christian and a member of the church. No further steps are required for church membership except continued love and service to the Savior.
