Who we are
Welcome
Knowing God & Making Him Known
We are a community of Bible-believing Christians. Our aim is to follow Jesus Christ by receiving God’s love, loving God, and loving all kinds of people as He does. Nothing matters more to God than people. When we’re together as His people we experience His love and care in a special way. He changes us and helps us to be a blessing to other people.
We hope that your experience with us encourages you to get to know God better, and to be loved and cared for Him in the same way we are. You are important to Him, too.
Wherever you are in your search for God — from flat rebellion against Him to disinterest to curiosity to earnest seeking — we want you to know that He welcomes you. God would like to take you beyond where you are right now and into something a lot better. Jesus once said, “Everyone who asks, receives; everyone who seeks, finds.” Keep searching, and never give up — because He’s seeking you, too!
We are a non-denominational congregation of people who seek to follow the New Testament. As a congregation, we are fully autonomous and independent. We are in fellowship with over 25,000 sister congregations around the world.
We believe in the authority of the Bible as the revelation of Christ’s will for the world. Therefore, in submitting to that authority, we submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We plead for the unity of all believers based on following the teachings and practices of the New Testament church.
We also encourage the laying aside of the traditions, practices, organizations, and names that have accumulated over the centuries since the New Testament era and that help perpetuate the unscriptural religious divisions of today. Though we recognize different roles within the church, we do not have a clergy.
We believe that salvation can only come through the blood and cross of Christ, and that this involves personal faith and the decision to follow and submit to Christ’s will through baptism which is immersion in water showing a death to your old life, burial in Christ, and resurrection to a new life with Jesus as your leader.
Distinctive things that visitors notice include the weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper as a main emphasis of our worship assembly, congregational singing without instruments, Biblical preaching and teaching, an orientation toward children and family, the baptism of believers by immersion, and men leading the worship service.
As individuals, we seek to be known, simply, as Christians. We believe that faith in Christ should be central to our whole lives, and that each Christian should live on the basis of their own faith, conscience and understanding of the scriptures. We encourage each member to study the Bible and think for themselves and to follow the example of the Bereans in Acts 17:11 who “received the word with eagerness, searching the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.” We believe that faith, as the Bible portrays it, is reasonable and intelligent.
Visitors and questions are always welcome.
