In obedience to Scripture, and in continuing what the church has done throughout the centuries, we gather together on the first day of the week to publicly worship the risen Lord, hear the preaching of the word, share in the ordinances of the church, as well as gather in smaller groups throughout the week for prayer, community and deeper study of the scriptures (1 Corin. 16:2, Acts 20:7, 1 Tim. 4:13; 1 Corin 11:17-33. Acts 2:42).  On a daily basis the church scatters throughout our communities as ambassadors and witnesses of the Good News of Jesus through spoken word and by living a daily life which exalts the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 10: 42; Matthew 5: 16; Romans 12:1-2; Matthew 28:19, 20).
