We are Christians who
meet regularly as a local church at 213 Walnut Street. We
call the building a Gospel Hall because one of our primary
interests is to carry out our Lord's commission in Matthew
28:19,20 - to preach the gospel, then to baptize and teach
believers to observe all things commanded by the Lord. We
firmly embrace "the faith which was once delivered"
by the Lord and His apostles, believing that the Bible is
the verbally inspired word of God, and worthy of being our
only creed and our infallible guide. We have a deep commitment
to Biblical Christianity.
We gather as an assembly in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
claiming his promise that He is in the midst (Matthew 18:20).
We have no denominational affiliation and are self-supported
so we have no visible earthly head or leader, but are solely
responsible to Christ who is the risen Head of the church.
We acknowledge elders in the assembly to whom God has entrusted
responsibility. They teach the Bible by their lives and
their words.
The gospel that we preach
is that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
that he was buried and that he rose again on the third day
according to the scriptures" (I Corinthians 15:3,4).
We believe that there must be a personal experience of discovering
our guiltiness before God as sinners and accepting Christ
as personal Savior and Lord.
We place a great importance on family structure. the future
of our children is vital to us, and we are not content only
with their good health and education, but desire that they
have quality spiritual guidance and training as well.
