This congregation of Christians bears no name but that given in the Bible, and practices no ordinances except those given in the New Testament -- baptism of believers by immersion and observance of the Lord's Supper on the first day of each week. We seek to reach the souls of sinful people through following as closely as possible the precepts of New Testament Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ and His Apostles. In our efforts to restore the Church to its original form and purposes, we use no guide but the New Testament and no authority but Jesus Christ.
The congregation began meeting in the Spring of 1971, first in homes, then in the community room at Holly Hill Mall. The Church property at the corner of Trails Two and Four was purchased in early 1972 with the first full time preacher being called that year. The first Deacons were ordained in December of 1974 and the first Elders in June of 1985.
Although we are an independent congregation with no control beyond the local congregation, we cooperate with and fellowship with over 5000 other congregations in similar belief. This cooperative effort enables us to claim over 1300 missionaries, serving full time in 45 different countries. We strive to bring the Good News to every person, that by believing in Jesus Christ, through repentance and baptism, we can have our sins forgiven; and through a life of faithful obedience find an eternal home with our Lord and Savior.
Bible School classes for all age groups, from infants through adults, are taught by capable teachers. Adult study and discussion groups are conducted weekly. Worship services become a meaningful experience through the preaching of God's Word, and praising the name of the Lord through song.
