| An Introduction |
Who Are We?
We are a group of men and women, boys and girls who have formed and constitute a congregation
such as those described in the New Testament.
We are simply Christians (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1Peter 4:15-16), followers of Christ, and we
comprise a church that is "of Christ" (Romans 16:16) We do not wear or accept any designations
that are not found in the scriptures, and we do not subscribe to any creed drawn up by fallible men.
Christ is our only creed, the Bible is our only guide.
We are striving to be a church after the pattern found in the New Testament - in how we become
Christians and in how we live as Christians; in what we teach; in the work we do as a church; in the way
we are organized.
We are trying to speak where the Bible speaks and to be silent where the Bible is silent, to do
Bible things in Bible ways and to call Bible things by Bible names. We are interested in honoring
God, in following Christ, and in learning, doing and teaching God's Word.
We are your neighbors, your fellow-workers, and your fellow-students. We are people saved from
sin who are interested in the salvation of others. We want Heaven to be our eternal home and yours.
