New Testament Christianity
- We are a people, not a place -- Made of "lively stones", not brick and mortar. (1 Peter 2:5)
- We honor Christ as the head -- The church belongs to Christ, that's why we wear his name! (Matthew 16:18; Colossians 1:18)
- We are members of the Lord's church -- The church is neither Jewish, Protestant, nor Catholic. (1 Corinthians 12:12-31)
- We are independent -- The local church functions as a self-governing body of Christians, answering only to Christ. (Ephesians 1:22-23, 5:23-27)
- We are self-supporting -- The church supports its own work through free-will offerings of the members. (1 Corinthians 16:1-2)
- We are Bible believers -- We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and only guide in all matters of faith. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
- We adhere to the New Testament pattern. (Colossians 2:13-14; Hebrews 8:13)
- We preach the whole gospel -- We endeavor to declare the entire will of God. Let us share the Good News about Jesus with YOU! It can make a difference in YOUR life. (Acts 20:27; 1 Peter 4:11).
