About Us
As Individual Followers of Jesus
Having looked at the life of Jesus, been convicted by the message of the cross and the resurrection of Jesus (1 Cor 15:1-8), we have entered into a relationship of love and trust with the Lord (Matt 22:37; Luke 7:50).
We become Christians by the simple process of doing what men and women in the New Testament did to become disciples. We have believed and confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and, repenting of our past sins, have yielded our lives to Him by being baptized in His name for the remission of sins (Mark 16:15-16; Rom 10:9-10; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; Rom 6:3-4; Acts 8:34-39).
As individual Christians, we feel the need to live a life that is Christ-like—in our families, at our work place, and in all of life’s daily experiences (Col. 3). We want to glorify God with our lives and share the good news about Jesus with those around us (1 Cor 1:23; Mark 8:34).
As a Group
When asked about who we are religiously, we customarily answer that we are Christians. We respond this way because that is the answer the followers of Jesus in the New Testament would have given (Acts 11:26; 26:28). Just like the early Christians, we have joined ourselves together as a local church of Christ, and of God (Rom 16:16; 1 Cor 1:2; 11:16).
Since our goal is glorifying God, we try our best not to let our personal desires and preferences shape or guide our work or worship. We want to please God in the pure and simple way He has shown us in the Bible. On Sunday, the day when the Lord was raised from the dead, we assemble to eat the Lord’s Supper in memory of His death (Acts 2:42; 20:7; 1 Cor. 11:23-26). We also meet together to praise God and build each other up by singing (Heb 13:15; Col 3:16), praying (Acts 2:42), studying the Bible (2 Tim 3:16-17).
In our work together as a church, we follow the Biblical pattern of the New Testament churches which occupied themselves in: 1) training every disciple to spiritual maturity and to full usefulness in the service of God (Eph. 4:11-16), 2) preaching the gospel locally and sending out and supporting preachers in other places of the world (Phil. 4:14-16; 2 Cor 11:8), and 3) caring for the needs of poor Christians (Acts 4:34-35; 11:29-30). All the money that the church needs to carry out its work is obtained by the free will giving of the members in a collection taken each Sunday (1 Cor 16:1-2). All other “good works” are the responsibility of individual members (Titus 2:11-14; James 1:27; Gal. 6:9-10).
Overall
We do not consider ourselves to be perfect; we are trying our best to be more and more like Christ. We are genuinely thrilled when others come into our assembly to learn more about our Lord. If you visit as our guest, we will not solicit your money or pressure you in any way. We welcome your questions and offer private Bible studies if you desire to know God and His will more fully.
Come and be with us. We think you will find a friendly congregation dedicated to following the examples and teachings of Christ in the New Testament.
