Our Beliefs and activities
We are a non-denominational community of believers in biblical scripture. We believe the Bible contains the word of God written by humans inspired by the Almighty God. We believe the Old and New Testaments are complementary and not contradictory.
We Keep God’s law as a way of life. His commandments, statutes and judgements include the 7th Day Sabbath, all of the Holy Days listed in Leviticus chapter 23, tithing and the clean & unclean food laws.
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and they are one in spirit although two distinct separate personalities in one God-head. The Holy Spirit is their essence and is not a separate person.
The Church is led by ordained elders comprising a council led by a president. We preach the good news of The coming Kingdom of God to earth through generous support from the membership via the principal of tithing and contributions from co-workers. We are able to reach out to the world through in-person preaching, television, the Internet, public appearance campaigns and the printed word.
Our brethren are spread across six continents in hundreds of congregations. We are different in language and culture, but we are unified by our beliefs and our love for each other.
The purpose of the Church is to help God’s people prepare to be the bride of Christ at His second coming. We take that responsibility very seriously and provide many programs and events to help our members learn, grow and connect with one another.
