In keeping with the New Testament pattern, there is no authority above the independent local congregations. Each congregation is led by elders selected by the members of that congregation. Deacons perform various ministries under the supervision of the elders and as approved by the congregation. If the congregation has not grown large enough to appoint elders the congregation is directed by a general meeting of the membership. The minister or preacher has no more authority than anyone else in the congregation to make decisions for the church.
Many people find the Bible confusing.
Perhaps you have tried to read it only to stop after a short while because you just can t understand what is going on. One of our goals is to help people come to a better understanding of God s word and just what he expects of them in this life. We have available a series of video tapes which introduce the Bible in easy to understand terms and help us understand what it is all about. We will be glad to come to your home and show these video tapes to you and your family. You will not be pressured to join our church, but we will try our best to answer questions which you may have concerning the Word of God and your relationship to the creator of the universe.
