Who we are
We are a local fellowship of Bible-believing Christians who gather (Matt. 18:20) on a regular weekly basis (Acts 2:42, Acts 12:12, Acts 14:27, Acts 20:7) for worship, ministry, Bible study, prayer, gospel, and other Christian privileges and responsibilities.
No denominational name is accepted as such seems inconsistent with New Testament teaching: that all children of God are members of the body of Christ, the Church; and are spoken of only as Believers, Brethren, Disciples, Christians and Saints - Names which belong to and are descriptive of all true Christians. Thus, a basis is formed for a scriptural fellowship where true believers can enjoy all their spiritual privileges and assume their responsibilities. (Acts 2:41-42) We have called the building the "Gospel Hall" not to denote some denominational or other allegiance, but because this is one of our main occupations. The Gospel is preached in simplicity weekly. Gospel means “good news” and we seek to reach the lost souls of the world with a message of hope, salvation, and peace through Christ. (Mk 16:15, 1 Cor 15:34)
Doctrines Believed and Taught
We believe the Holy Bible teaches, among other things:
Its own divine authority, absolute accuracy, and verbal inspiration. (2 Tim. 3:16: 2 Peter 1:20-21)
That the one true God eternally exists in three equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:4)
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten and eternal Son of God, miraculously born of the virgin Mary, and the only One whose life was absolutely sinless (John 1:1: Matt. 18:23; 1 John 3:5)
That man is ruined by the fall of Adam in Eden, and is universally and utterly sinful by nature, and that it is impossible for him to be saved by his own works or religious observance. (Rom. 3:23; Eph. 2:8-9: Titus 3:5)
That man is entirely unfit for the presence of God in his natural state and must be “Born again” before he can enter heaven. (John 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23)
That on Calvary’s cross, Christ fully and eternally paid the penalty of sin and completed the work of redemption. God attesting to this finished work in raising Him from among the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in heaven. (1 Cor. 15:17-20; Romans 4:25; Acts 2:32)
Salvation is by grace alone through faith and is not “earned”. (Ephesians 2:8-9) That in accepting Christ by faith the sinner is saved, is born again, his sins all forgiven through the merits of Christ’s blood shed on the cross. (Acts 16:31; John 1:12; Col. 1:14, 1 John 4:10)
That all who are saved should be baptized by immersion in obedience to His Word. Also, that they should remember Him by observing the “Lord’s Supper” each Lord’s Day. However, only those who are saved, clean in life and sound in doctrine are qualified to partake of this feast. (Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:16; Romans 6:4; Acts 2:41-42; 20:17; 1 Cor. 11:23-26)
That all who die in Christ go to be “with Him” in heaven, but that all who die unsaved go down to Hell into conscious eternal torment. (2 Cor. 5:6-8; Phil. 1:23; Psalms 9:17; Luke 16:23)
