What is the church?
We believe the word “church”, in the Biblical sense, does not describe a building, but rather those special people who have surrendered their lives to Christ. For that reason, we are very people oriented, as is reflected in our desire for each person to grow and mature in their relationship with God through Christ.
We are a Church made up of long-time residents of the area, newcomers to the area, and visitors. Our desire is for everyone to feel welcome when they visit our family. We do many things together often eating together, playing together, working together and worshiping together. We take to heart God’s designation of Christians as His children and believe ourselves to be brothers and sisters in Christ.
The Bible is our only guide in matters of worship and lifestyle. We believe:
-
the Bible is the inspired word of God and that it tells us how to behave and conduct our lives individually and as the Church
-
that by returning to the Bible we will find the only way to eliminate man-made creeds and traditions restoring the Church Jesus died for
-
and that restoration is a key concept in fellowship.
Our prayer is that we grow closer to Jesus, follow His example more closely, and become more like Jesus each day.
