| We Strive to be the Same Church Described in the New Testament |
It is our purpose to be identified with the Christians of the first century. We believe
this to be possible to all who will learn, believe and be guided by the plain teaching of
God’s word. When Jesus declared such to be “the seed of the kingdom” (Luke 8:11),
He was emphasizing a known fact of nature that specific kinds of seed, when planted, will
always produce after their kind. For example, wheat will produce wheat. In like manner the
word of God, when planted in the hears of honest people, and obeyed, will produce
Christians just as it did in the first century – nothing more or nothing less.
