WHERE AND HOW TO START
Hello and welcome to our church website, it’s always a real joy for us to meet and have new members in our church family. Here you will find useful information about who we are and what we believe.
It’s time to take a bold step of faith out of your comfort zone and discover what God has for you. Wherever you are on your journey, regardless of where you fall on the deep questions of faith, our community is open to you.
Who We Are
We are Christians. Christians just like those first century disciples of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed” (John 8:31). We seek only to follow the words and instructions of Jesus and the inspired men who wrote the Bible. Doing this means that we are an independent and autonomous church. It means we worship like first century Christians did. It means we believe and practice what the New Testament church believed and practiced. We seek to maintain the unity of the faith as presented by Jesus Christ and the apostles (Ephesians 4:3,13; cf Jude 1:3).
We are a spiritual family. We share a common relationship to God as “sons and daughters” (2 Corinthians 6:18). Because of this relationship, we sustain a common kinship to one another, and strive diligently to be “kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another” (Romans 12:10).
We are not perfect, nor do we pretend to be. We do strive for perfection (Matthew 5:48; Hebrews 6:1) in the biblical sense of seeking spiritual maturity.

Our Authority
The Bible. We believe the Scriptures (The Bible) to be the inspired word of Jehovah God. We accept and submit to the Bible as our sole standard of authority (Colossians 3:17; 1 Peter 4:11). While we do not pretend that we know the answer to every question, we do believe that all things pertaining to life and godliness have been revealed to us in the word of God (2 Peter 1:3). We believe that we must search the scriptures for the answers. We ask everyone to be like the Bereans of Acts 17:11 – to search the scriptures daily to see if what we are teaching is according to the revealed word of God. Because of our unshakable belief that the Bible instructs us to “every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17), we are committed to speaking out upon the moral, ethical, and religious issues of our times.
