What We Believe
This Church is identified with the great movement for the restoration of
the New Testament Church:
BY WEARING A NEW TESTAMENT NAME
"The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch"
(Acts 11:26)
"You almost persuade me to become a Christian"
(Acts 26:28)
BY BELIEVING A NEW TESTAMENT CREED
"You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God - on this rock I
will build my church" (Matthew 16:16,18)
"For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is
laid, which is Jesus Christ" (I Corinthians 3:11)
BY OBEYING A NEW TESTAMENT BAPTISM
"He who believes and is baptized will be saved"
(Mark 16:16)
"Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a
removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good
conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ" (I Peter 3:21)
BY OBSERVING A NEW TESTAMENT COMMUNION
"Do this in remembrance of me"
(Luke 22:19)
"On the first day of the week, when the disciples came together
to break bread…." (Acts 20:7)
BY PRACTICING A NEW TESTAMENT STEWARDSHIP
"It is more blessed to give than to receive"
(Acts 20:35)
"On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something
aside, storing up as he may prosper" (I Corinthians 16:2)
BY LIVING A NEW TESTAMENT LIFE
"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and
fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers"
(Acts 2:42)
"Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life"
(Revelation 2:10)
OUR PLEA - The unity of all Christians
OUR PLAN - The restoration of the Church of the New Testament
