Our Purpose & Reason for Being

1. Assemble together according to God's command.

2. Worship and praise Him for who He is, for His kind and tender mercies, for daily blessings, for His watch and care over us, for the sacrifice of His Son for our redemption and promise of eternal life.

3. To study His Word, growing in grace and knowledge, understanding His will for us individually and as a New Testament church, and serving Him the best we can as imperfect human beings.

4. As members, to love, succor, exhort, teach, encourage and comfort each other as an extension of God's love.

To hold each other up to the the throne of grace in prayer and supplication that individually and as a congregation we seek His will in all things - nothing more - nothing less.

5. As Christians, to reflect God's love for all, to show compassion, concern, guidance and encouragement to our fellow man, the sick, the suffering, the weary, the confused and the lost. (With God's help as we ourselves are flawed, learning every day to to be a better reflection of his love and mercy.)

4. To follow His commandment to preach and teach the Good News of the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus Christ for the redemption of sinful man, beginning in our local community, and by the support of outreach missions world-wide through an association of like-minded churches.
