Our Doctrine

We are simply a New Testament church and enjoy fellowship with all those who pattern their worship according to the New Testament and seek biblical authority for all that they believe and practice. We do not recognize or embrace any human creeds, disciplines, catechisms, or religious traditions (Matthew 15: 7-9). Instead, we embrace Christ's plea for unity in John 17: 20,21. To this end, we preach the one Lord, one faith, and one baptism (Ephesians 4:5), on which is the only basis for unity. We believe that all religious authority belongs to Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18). Therefore, He alone has the first and last word in matters of religion. We believe that this authority extends to all of the Lord's commandments, and not just those we find convenient. We also believe in the essentials of faith (Hebrews 11:6), repentance (Acts 17:30), confession (Matthew 10: 32,33), and baptism (Mark 16:15,16; Acts 2:38), as the requirements for entrance into the body of Christ (Galatians 3:26,27).
