What We Believe
Inspiration of the Bible.
We believe the Bible is from God (2 Timothy 3:16).
We believe the Bible is not from man nor consist of man-made mistakes (2 Peter 1:20-21).
Authority of the Bible
We believe the Bible is the authority in one's life (Colossians 3:17). We believe decisions should be made based on the Bible (1 Timothy 1:5 - "good conscience").
Baptism
We believe baptism is for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38). We believe baptism is necessary for salvation (1 Peter 3:21; Mark 16:15-16). We believe baptism is a water burial (Colossians 2:12; Acts 8:35-38).
What we believe
Additional Information
The Lord's Supper
We believe the Lord's Supper consists of unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine (Matthew 26:28). We believe the Lord's Supper is to be taken every Sunday (Acts 20:7).
Giving
We believe giving is to be done every Sunday (1 Corinthians 16:1-2) just like the Lord's Supper. We believe each person decides how much they want to give back to God (2 Corinthians 9:7). We do not force nor expect visitors to give.
We believe the New Testament teaches that a group of men are to oversee the local congregation. This group can be called elders (Titus 1:5), pastors (Ephesians 4:11), or overseers (Acts 20:28). These men watch over the people's souls (Hebrews 13:17) and shepherd the flock (1 Peter 5:2). Also, in the New Testament, this group has more than one man in it (Titus 1:5; Philippians 1:5). Therefore, the preacher and the pastor are not the same thing.
Visiting
We Sing
It is vocal signing without the accompaniment of any mechanical instrument of music. The reason that we sing vocally is because this is what the New Testament authorizes (Ephesians 5:19). You are welcome to sing along with us, if you wish, or you are welcome to just listen.
We Pray
Prayers are offered to God in the name of Jesus Christ. Our prayers consist of "supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks...for all men." (2 Timothy 2:1). We pray for those who are ill, those who are traveling, our political leaders, and those who keep us safe. We pray for God's approval on the things that we do and for wisdom to do the right things.
We Partake of the Lord's Supper
We partake of the Lord's Supper which consists of unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine (grape juice). This is what Jesus gave His disciples as a memorial before His betrayal and death (Matthew 26:26-29). We partake of this each Sunday for we see this was the practice in the church during the 1st century AD (Acts 20:7).

We Contribute to Our Means
This is a free-will offering made by the members here for the purpose of funding, the working that we are authorized to do (1 Corinthians 16:1-12). We do not solicit nor expect you as our visitor to give into this offering. You may, if you wish, but we do not require it of our visitors. We desire your presence, not your money.
A sermon will be preached on a topic taken from the Bible. Just as Paul encouraged Timothy to "preach the word" (2 Timothy 4:2), we do that today, also. We have some Bibles available so that you may follow along, or you may bring yours from home. We encourage you to search the scriptures to prove the truth of the things preached (Acts 17:10-11). If you wish, either at the close of the lesson, or after we are dismissed, you may ask any questions that you may have about the lesson.
