We are a church of Christ patterned after the New Testament example of local churches in the first century. We believe in the authoritative word of God and will provide you with a Bible answer for everything we do and practice in our worship service to God. We exalt Jesus Christ as the Son of God and our endeavor is to glorify Him (Ephesians 3:21). Our efforts are directed towards a total commitment to Christ and not any man or institution (1 Corinthians 2:5).
Our gatherings to worship are simple but devout. Most newcomers and visitors to our assemblies find the building neat and attractive but very plain in comparison to what most have experienced in many religious groups.
We make conscious effort to be guided by God’s Word alone in all our acts of worship. As a result, our assemblies to worship God together include five items:
- We sing spiritual songs in praise to God and to encourage each other (Eph. 5:19). There are songbooks in the pews so everyone who wants to can join in the singing.
- We pray together petitioning God for things we need and thanking Him for His blessings. In each assembly two or three of the men in our spiritual family are asked to lead our thoughts in prayer.
- We partake of the Lord’s Supper during our Sunday gathering. This most solemn act of worship is included every Sunday (Acts 20:7). Each week different men lead us in this item of worship by making a few brief remarks about its meaning and leading us in giving thanks (1 Cor. 11:24).
- We study God’s Word together as the evangelist presents a sermon on some important Bible subject (Acts 20:7).
- We give of material prosperity into the church treasury so we might have funds to do the Lord’s work (1 Cor. 16:1-2).
