The doctrines once taught to the believers during the 1st century have be obfuscated and distorted by men throughout history.

Our sincere heart is to regain and to teach to the truths as they were taught before the world polluted them with it’s agendas and errors. Resulting in today’s believers living with and loving each other as the Father has outlined in his revealed scriptures.

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

Philippians 2:16

Home Fellowships

We believe the Church began in homes, not buildings. Our home fellowships are designed to recapture that first-century model—gathering in intimate spaces where families and friends study the Word together, pray, and grow in truth. These fellowships are open, Scripture-centered, and focused on encouraging spiritual maturity in a relational, respectful setting.

Outreach

Our goal is not just to learn the truth but to live it. Through local outreach, evangelism, and discipleship, we serve our communities with compassion and clarity. We believe that sound doctrine produces sound action. Every outreach event is an opportunity to demonstrate God’s love, share the Gospel, and invite others into fellowship without obligation or agenda.

Historical and Cultural Research

The Bible was not written in a vacuum. We study the historical and cultural context in which the Scriptures were given to better understand how to interpret and apply them today. From first-century Jewish customs to Roman governance and Hellenistic influence, we explore how these contexts enrich our understanding.

Biblical Accuracy

We are committed to pursuing a pure understanding of the Word of God, rightly divided. We reject man-made tradition when it conflicts with Scripture and strive to teach what was originally delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3). Through deep study, dialogue, and cross-referencing the original texts, we aim to separate truth from tradition and stand firmly on God’s revealed Word.

Original Languages

Understanding the Hebrew and Greek scriptures is key to restoring doctrinal clarity. We explore the original languages to better comprehend context, word usage, and meaning. We use Strong’s Concordance, interlinear tools, and lexicons to empower believers to see beyond translation and into the heart of the text.

Instruction In Righteousness

Scripture is not only for doctrine, but “for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). Our goal is to equip believers to live lives marked by holiness, humility, and the fruit of the Spirit. Righteousness is not a performance; it’s the outworking of a renewed mind and heart, walking in obedience to the revealed will of God.
