About Us
We would like to introduce ourselves
We are a group of Christians who are endeavoring to follow Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. Because of our commitment to Jesus Christ, we have never joined a denomination and are not now a denomination. Undenominational Christianity seems to be a difficult thing for many people to understand. However, when we turn to the New Testament, all can see that Paul, Peter, James, John, and many other people of those early days were Christians and members of the church that Jesus built, and were not members of any denomination. If those early Christians could be members of the Lord’s church and not belong to any denomination then we can follow their example. If not, why not?
We have made Jesus Christ the center of our faith, our worship, our life, and our hope.
Our Faith
In order for Christ to be the center of our faith, He must be allowed to rule our lives in and through the word of God. In the giving of the “Great Commission,” Jesus said:
All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:18-20).
We believe that His word must always be the last word.
Therefore, the process of becoming a Christian centers on the person and work of Jesus, who He is, what He has done, and what He requires. As we learn of His claim to be the Christ, the Son of God, as we study the character of His life that is consistent with that claim, as we observe the compassion He felt for all that He met and touched, and especially, as we see His obedience to the commands of His Father, so we, as sinners, are drawn to Him, love Him, and obey Him.
I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am [He], you shall die in your sins (John 8:24).
Our faith focuses on Christ in every detail. When we repent of our sins, we are turning from our own ways to the Lord and His way, just as the Lord commanded (Luke 13:3). When we confess our faith in Jesus Christ, we are proclaiming to the world that He is the Christ.
Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven (Matthew 10:32).
And when we are baptized for the remission of sins, we are united with Him in His death, burial and resurrection.
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized unto Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life (Romans 6:3-4).
It must be understood that while the conversion process puts us in Christ, it is the Lord Himself who adds us to His body, the church:
And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved (Acts 2:47).
Therefore, Jesus Christ is the center of our faith, the heart and core of our salvation from sin.
Our Worship
Jesus is also at the center of our worship. The Lord is the object of our praise and adoration in each avenue of worship. We pay tribute to the greatness of our God and our Lord Jesus Christ through the singing of hymns and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16). We pray to our heavenly Father through and in the name of Jesus (John 14:6, 13). Our preaching centers on Jesus Christ, “admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ” (Colossians 1:28). Even when we give of our money, we are reflecting the sincerity of our love for Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 8:8). Finally, when we partake of the Lord’s Supper upon the first day of every week, we look backward to His cross, resurrection, and ascension, all the while looking forward to His return (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:25-28).
Our Life
As faithful Christians, we seek to imitate the life of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:21-24). Paul expressed the true feelings of the Christian when he said:
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and delivered Himself up for me (Galatians 2:20).
This new life in Christ has a new priority: to “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). By focusing on the kingdom of God and His righteousness, we are not consumed with the world and its fleeting fancies. Instead, we keep our attention on His place in our lives and make our decisions and our choices in harmony with His will.
Having been freed from our sins and transgressions, we are no longer the slaves of sin and are enabled to produce the wonderful fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance (Galatians 5:22-23). Such a life provides a power that enables us to overcome the world with its temptations, adversities, and sorrows (1 John 5:4).
The Christ-centered life does not exist just for oneself. Christians have a new purpose of seriously accepting the Lord’s mission “to seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). We seek to share Christ with those who do not Know Him. Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned” (Mark 16:15-16). It is only then that we can help people with their greatest need, the abundant life in Christ (John 10:10).
Our Hope
When the Lord comes on that great and final day, “then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father” (1 Corinthians 15:23-24). Christians will then experience that “inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:3-4). This precious promise is guaranteed by the Lord’s victory over death, and He will then “fashion anew the body of our humiliation that it might be conformed to the body of His glory” (Philippians 3:21).
Though the circumstances of life may occasionally be less than desirable, Paul claimed “we rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:2). This wonderful hope is the “anchor of our soul,” (Hebrews 6:19) and is capable of turning our tragedies into triumphs, our poverty to riches, our pain to glory, and our defeat to victory.
