| What We Believe |
|---|
- We believe that the Bible is the all-sufficient, inspired Word of God
- We believe that it is possible to go back to the pure teachings and worship of the New Testament Church, using only the Bible, not human creeds and doctrines
- We believe that the Church is to be supported by the freewill offering of Christians upon the first day of the week, not by the Old Testament practice of tithing, or by solicitation of visitors
