Preaching

You can expect a minister to present a message from the all-sufficient and living Word of God. Drawing generously from the Word of God he will deal with current needs of the ordinary person and urge all to submit to the Lordship of Jesus and to withhold allegiance from any man or any organization of human origin. Jesus had said that the Word of God is the seed of the Kingdom of Heaven, and therefore as the seed is sown in its purity it will produce the same harvest as in the beginnings-- that is, just a Christian!

Teaching

You can expect the assembly to participate in Bible classes designed for each age group. A competent teacher will direct a Bible lesson encouraging all to feel free to express his/her own understanding of the text.

Love

You can expect kindness and respect for you, and simplicity and fidelity in our worship.

Our Motto

We want to speak where the Bible speaks: We want to remain silent where the Bible is silent. We want to do Bible things in Bible ways; We want to call Bible things by Bible names. We pray that whatever we say and do will be in the name of the Lord.

What to expect

You can expect to be welcomed by a warm, sensitive, big family. As in Scripture there are no distinctions such as clergy and laity (words foreign to the Bible), but just brothers and sisters in the Lord's family. You can expect everyone to be assembled in the auditorium as the worship begins. (There is a nursery with attendants provided to care for children under 3 years old).

Singing and Prayer

All are urged to join in the congregational singing as we lift up our voices in praise of God. One of the brothers will be called upon to offer up his heart prompted prayer of thanksgiving and petition to God for the congregation. Several such prayers will be addressed to the Father in heaven by His sons in a reverent but similar manner as a child talks to his father.

Communion and Offering

You can expect a time of communion as the congregation gives special attention and reflection to the meaning of the Lord's Supper. A group of brothers will pass the unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine to the congregation allowing each adult present to participate or not as he/she chooses. As Jesus and His apostles commanded this is done in memory of Jesus' body and blood given at Calvary for our sins.

These same brothers will then pass the collection plates to allow each person present the opportunity to voluntarily give as he/she has prospered. In this, as in all things, we try to strictly follow the divine pattern in the Bible, hence this is the only way the church raises the necessary funds to carry on the Lord's Work.

We have no denominational affiliation or earthly headquarters. We automatically have unity and fellowship with all who accept and practice Jesus and the Apostles' teaching. We observe the Lord's Supper each Sunday, according to Apostolic precedent.

Our music is the praise of our lips without mechanical accompaniment as was church worship during the first six centuries of Christianity. Our prayers are heartfelt and spontaneous.

Church membership and salvation together are dependent upon an obedient faith in Jesus Christ as God's Son. This means our faith leads us to repent of our sins and to be baptized into Jesus Christ by immersion for the remission of our sins. Such obedience is proof that faith is real and constitutes the human part of the new birth, with God cleansing from sin and adding that part of the new birth, and adding that person to His church.
