One of the greatest blessings this side of heaven is to gather with others who take GOD and HIS Word seriously. We are a group of believers saved by grace through faith in CHRIST and HIS finished work (Eph. 2:8–9) who meet simply around the LORD JESUS, seeking to follow only the directions given in the New Testament. We believe that the church is GOD'S idea. CHRISTians do not meet in congregations merely because it is desirable or helpful, but because the LORD has ordained it (1 Thess. 2:14).
Our LORD HIMSELF first spoke of the church when HE declared that HE was its builder and would establish it on a sure foundation (Mt. 16:18). HE also first spoke concerning the local gatherings of believers (Mt. 18:17).
There may be some things about a local church like this that would be different to you. We would appreciate the opportunity to try to explain how we meet and why.
