Mission :

Our mission remains winning the lost and leading Christians to serve their Lord in accordance with the teachings of the New Testament. We find it both humorous and tragic that when identifying ourselves as Christians, someone invariably asks, "What kind?" Can you imagine the apostles being asked that question? We seek to be Christians in the same way the first disciples were, without man-made teachings, traditions, names, denominational structures and so on. Over the years, a number of historic slogans have helped to express who we are and what we seek to accomplish: We are not the only Christians, but we are "Christians only." No creed but Christ, no book but the Bible. In essentials, unity. In opinions, liberty. In all things, love. Essentials are those commands, ordinances etc. specifically commanded by the Lord or His apostles. Beyond this, we recognize a variety of subjects on which there is no direct command of the Lord, hence, the right to freely hold one's own opinion (in opinions, liberty). Finally, we recognize that we must always relate to one another in love (remember the second greatest commandment?).
