What We Believe
Church: We believe in the one church that Christ died for and built.
Mt. 16:18 - Christ said he would build his church.
Acts 20:28 - Christ paid for his church by his blood.
Eph. 1:22 - There is one body that is called the church. Christ is the head of that body.
Eph. 4:4 - there is only one body/church.
2 Tim. 2:19 - The Lord knows who are his, and only those who are his (in his church/body) will be saved
In everything we do, we strive to do it in accordance with Christ's authority (Col. 3:17) because we have been saved according to his word and blood and we serve only him. Here in Johnson City, we are a congregation of the Church that belongs to Christ who is God. Everything we do only comes from God's word and not mans interpretation or opinion of God's word.
Worship: Everything we do in worship is as described in the New Testament which we live under. If it is in the word, then we do it. If is not in his word, then we abstain from it. The last thing we want to do is offer strange/unauthorized worship before the Lord (Leviticus 10:1-2). Our worship service on Sunday includes:
Acts 20:7 - the breaking of bread which is the Lord's Supper instituted by Christ in Luke 22:7-23.
1 Cor. 16:2 - the giving of our means to support the work of the Lord's one church.
2 Tim. 4:1-2, Acts 20:7 - the preaching of God's word.
Col. 3:16, Eph. 5:19, Heb. 13:15 - the singing of God's people making melody in their hearts to the Lord and edifying one another.
1 Tim. 2:8 - Public prayer.
Salvation: If you want to know more about salvation then please reach out to us. We would love to have a friendly Bible study about how God has brought salvation down to man. It is his word that leads us to salvation. Romans 1:16 says the gospel (God's word) is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. Since it is God's word that brings us and leads us to salvation, then let us study with you in God's word. There we will find the answers together about how man can be considered righteous in the eyes of God.
