Frequently Asked Questions
Several questions have arisen about our
congregation from callers who have indicated an interest in our group. To help
those who might also like to know more about us, we have added this FAQ page. As
always, we invite anyone with questions to please give us a call if your
questions are not answered.
1.
Are you affiliated with other groups?
A. All of our members have come from various Sabbath-keeping groups. One of the
things that we celebrate within our group is our removal of hierarchical
interference with our worship of God. In plain language, we believe that we all
have one Christ, one mediator with God, who made one sacrifice for all men to
have access to God through Him, not through other men. Because of this,
although we do loosely associate ourselves with other groups such as Christian
Educational Ministries, Guardian
Ministries and United Christian Ministries, we stand alone
before our God and do not look to a centrally controlled organization for
permission to do anything related to our worship.
2. Are
you a large group?
A. Right now, we are about 10 members who meet for fellowship, to sing, and to
hear a message (sometimes live by local members or invited speakers and
sometimes recorded) on the Sabbath Day. We welcome all visitors who wish to
fellowship with us in peace.
3. Is
there a dress code?
A. Yes. You should wear what you have that you would feel comfortable appearing
before God wearing. We are not the fashion police.
4. What
about children?
A. Right now, our youngest member is a mid-teen. We believe that teens are of
sufficient maturity that they need to hear the Word of God plainly expounded
and not delivered by programs aimed at little children. That said, as brethren
join us with little children we will set up programs to teach those children in
a way that their minds can handle. Because of our loose association with the
aforementioned ministries, we can provide those programs for those with
children. In the interim, we do have an area at the back of our hall where
children can be given quiet toys to play while the message for the day is being
delivered. We do look forward to the day when we are large enough to have a
children's ministry but until then we will make do and teach these young, up
and coming Christians as best our Father gives us a way.
