What Kind of church is this?

Believe it or not, all churches are not the same. If your idea has been that "a church is a church is a church" then you need to investigate more closely. Some churches are different in their organizational arrangement. Some churches are different in their goals and purposes for existence. Some churches are different in their doctrines and traditions which they practice.

Perhaps you are looking for a church which is striving to be like the one you read about in the New Testament-nothing more or less than just a church. That is what we are trying to be-simply a group of Christians banded together who follow no creed but the Bible and who sincerely strive to speak where the Bible speaks and to be silent where the Bible is silent. "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God" (I Peter 4:11).

Not a Social Club

It is true that our building does not have a kitchen, banquet hall, or gymnasium. This church sponsors no ball teams, concerts, or secular activities. Wholesome social and secular activities are important in the life of a Christian, but God made a distinction between the responsibilities of the home and the church. "What? Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God and shame them that have not?" (I Cor. 11:22, 34). You see, we specialize in being a church, and we encourage parents to specialize in building good homes. Parents should provide the secular and recreational needs of their family just like they supervise the economic and political needs.

We do wish to draw all men to the Lord, and we seek to hold our young people. But we make no pretense of being something other than what Christ ordained a church to be. Jesus purchased the church by His own blood, and it was thereby established for spiritual purposes (cf. Eph. 5:25-27; I Peter 2:5 ). The gospel is God's power to draw men (cf. Romans 1:16; John 6:44-45 ), and whether young or old, all who sincerely seek to please God will be held by good spiritual food. We Simply Strive To Be A Church Like Christ Built!
