We\u2019re glad you\u2019re visiting us! We suspect that you won\u2019t be on this site very long before you realize that we\u2019re different from most local churches. We want you to understand several things about us, so we have provided you with this explanation of why we do what we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are attempting to take very seriously what the New Testament says about how Christians should meet together. This can be seen in our \u201cpeople structure\u201d and in the nature of our meetings (services). To put it simply, it\u2019s our goal to put into practice what the apostles taught in the first century about the local church. Of course, we want to follow all 66 books of the Bible, too, for our complete Christian life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although we are not large, we meet the New Testament standards for a local church. We have leadership, provide for the ordinances (the Lord\u2019s Supper and baptism), have regular meetings (services) on the Lord\u2019s Day and carry out pastoral ministry. We are organized as a non\u2011profit organization in the state of Pennsylvania. We want, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to have a significant influence on this geographical area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
