Who we are might be characterized by what we stand for.

This church is identified with the great movement that seeks the restoration of the Church of the New Testament.  We show this...

"...All the churches of Christ send greetings." Romans 16:16 (NIV)

By believing a New Testament creed:

16    Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17    Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.
18    And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. (NIV)

19    And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."
20    In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you." (NIV)

By practicing a New Testament stewadship:

2    On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. (NIV)
