A 21st Century church following God's 1st Century pattern. We worship God in the simple manner of a New Testament Christian. We worship because, "... true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him" (Jesus, John 4:23)

Come join us for worship to God

Just west of RP Lumber, is a nondenominational congregation of Christians that base their worship, service, and being on the principles found in the Holy Bible. We follow no creed but Christ, no manual but the Bible, and no spiritual authority but God. Therefore, when you visit you will not participate in an entertainment-oriented exercise, but a God-centered worship patterned after the simplicity of New Testament worship. We strive to follow Paul's instruction, "And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him" (Colossians 3:17).

Therefore, when we assemble on the first day of the week, prayers of praise and adoration will be offered to God, as well as prayers of request (1 Corinthians 14:15). All are encouraged to sing songs of praise to God, that also encourage one another, as New Testament Christians did (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16). We participate in communion (eating the Lords supper) as the early church did (Acts 20:7). Those who are members also contribute of their means to support the work of the Lord (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). Non-members are not expected to give. The preacher will preach from God's word, as Paul did at the Troas church (Acts 20:7). At the close of the sermon, the preacher will offer the opportunity for anyone to respond publicly who has a spiritual request, such as to be baptized or to have prayers of encouragement or forgiveness. Come join us for worship to God.

Please do it right.

The New Testament way of salvation:

  1. Hear (Romans 10:14)
  2. Believe (Mark 16:16)
  3. Repent (Acts 2:38)
  4. Confess (Acts 8:36-37)
  5. Be baptized (Mark 16:16)
  6. Saved (sins forgiven) (Act 2:38)
Food for Thought

Can One Fully Understand? I taught mathematics as a public school teacher. For some, algebra came very easily. For others, it was quite difficult. However, I learned that just about every student who applied themselves could learn the principles. They might have to work a little harder, dig a little deeper, ask a few more questions, and work a few more problems.

Spiritual Nutrition   If you have watched the news any time lately, you have probably been aware of the new “epidemic” in our country. This epidemic is not caused by a virus; it is not caused by a bacteria; it isn't caused by any “disease” at all. The new epidemic in our country, say the experts, is obesity.
