Mission

The sacred, inspired word tells us what we need to know in order to be saved. God has placed in each heart the desire for relationship and belonging.  Bible study and discussion of God’s revelation has been the key factor in fulfilling these needs. The Old Testament patriarchal family was the first model which later produced the New Testament church pattern. Bible study functions to bring us to Christ, to bring us to maturity in him, and to send us out into the world to witness by our life and deeds to his saving power. The assembly is informal and interactive, with lesson outlines for an inducive look into God’s Word.
