We are Christian Bible Students
We accept Christ as our personal Savior, and believe that he died not only for the Christian, but for all the world.
We accept the Bible as the inspired Word of God, and study it in its entirety–both the Old and the New Testaments, seeking the harmony of complete Scriptural testimony (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).
We believe that each person is responsible to personally study and prove the interpretation of the Bible for himself (2 Timothy 2:15). We strongly recommend topical Bible study as the best means of arriving at God’s meaning on each subject and provide study aids to that end. We support continual Bible study on a personal basis.
How . . . We are organized
Our local congregation is totally independent. We have no central headquarters. In our international fellowship we cooperate with other independent congregations.
The servants or ministers of our church are elected from within our local fellowship on an annual basis, based on the Scriptural qualifications listed in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1.
We own no real estate or church buildings. Our meetings are held in private homes or rented facilities.
We take no collections. Whenever we vote to have an activity, unsolicited donations have always been sufficient to meet the commitment.
