About Us
As individuals, we identify ourselves as Christians. As a congregation,
we identify ourselves as a church of Christ. This is to emphasize our
relationship with Christ. We belong to Him, having been baptized into
Christ. “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ
Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed
yourselves with Christ” (Galatians 3:26-27). In Christ all
spiritual blessings are found (Ephesians 1:3-7). Every member of the
congregation accepts Jesus as Lord. By His authority each one was
immersed in water in order to receive the forgiveness of sins.
“...Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins...” (Acts
2:38).
We accept the Bible as the inspired Word of God and try to follow it as
our only guide in religious matters. We are an independent congregation
without denominational affiliation. The Scriptures reveal that each
congregation should be self-governing under the oversight of elders (I
Peter 5:1-3).
We do not claim to be perfect. We have many shortcomings. The Bible
tells us that we all sin and fall short of the purpose God has for us
(Romans 3:23). For this reason we need Christ. His perfect sacrifice
paid the price for our sins. “He made Him who knew no sin to
be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in
Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). In Christ we have fellowship with
God and with one another (I John 1:6-7).
As a congregation, we have joined hearts and hands in a mutual work of
service. We want to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others.
For this reason, we make provision to preach the gospel. We engage in
public worship following the example given by the apostles (Acts 2:42).
We want to encourage one another to love and good deeds (Hebrews
10:23-25). We love each other. We rejoice with those who rejoice. We
weep with those who weep. We do good works to glorify our Father in
heaven (Matthew 5:16).
We urge you to investigate! We urge you to study the Bible, and follow
it as your infallible guide in religious matters. We are not a sect; we
have nothing to sell and we offer nothing but the teaching of Jesus
Christ. We earnestly plead with you to follow God’s word
found in the Bible!
When You Visit
We want you to visit with us. You may expect to be treated as an
honored and respected guest. You will not be embarrassed in any way.
You will not be singled out for public attention. You will not be
solicited for contributions.
It is our intention to be guided by the Bible only. Hence, our worship
includes only those activities that have been authorized for
Christians. On the first day of every week (Acts 20:7) the
Lord’s Supper is commemorated (I Corinthians 11:24-26), God
is praised by singing (Colossians 3:16), prayer is offered (I Timothy
2:1-4), each member has an opportunity to give as God has instructed (I
Corinthians 16:1-2), and God’s Word is the basis for all
teaching (2Timothy 4:1-5).
