Who We Are
We are sinners saved by divine grace
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
We seek to follow the New Testament’s teaching on how to gather:
“They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.”
Acts 2:42
We do not take any denominational name. We are called Christians who gather to the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Words and desire of our Lord.
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Matthew 18:20
What We Preach And Teach
The Bible is inspired by God
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God…”
2 Timothy 3:16
We are all sinners from birth
“There is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:22-23
But God has provided a Savior
“The Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.”
1 John 4:14
Salvation from sin is through the blood of Christ
“The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7
The imminent return of the Lord Jesus from heaven
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven . . . and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

BIBLE PREACHING, GOSPEL AND MINISTRY
All the teaching is given from the Scriptures.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
THE BREAKING OF BREAD
It is observed upon the first day of the week
“Upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread”
Acts 20:7
It is observed just as it was the night of our Lord's betrayal
“The Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.”
1 Corinthians 11:23-25
