We believe that in these last days, as Scripture admonishes us, it will be absolutely crucial for the believers to be found in the house of the Lord. Gathering together with the saints of God is what caused tremendous strength and vitality in the early church, and will and must do so today. The Word of God instructs us in Hebrews 10:24-25 that we need to “consider how to provoke (stimulate) one another to love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day, (of the return of Christ), drawing near.” We believe that the local church should be a rallying point and a “hub” of spiritual and natural activity in this historic/prophetic moment in time. Our aim is to provide direction and encourage the saints in their walk with Christ. A chief way that we plan to do this is to provide the needed center point of gathering.
In Acts 2:42-47, we read that the early Christians were “continually devoting themselves to the Apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” They also ate some meals together, were of one mind, and loved one another with fervency. This is the heart cry and desire of this Pastor and this church. We pray that we can, by God’s grace and favor, become that “city set on a hill” (Mt 5:14), that people can come to, and count on, in this last hour.
In early New England times, one can research and see that the church, not City Hall, was the center and focal point of community activity and even of strategic decision making for the community it served. We pray that this local church can be a focal point of blessing for the community that we find ourselves a part of, for Jesus said “...but whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many”, (Mt 20:26-28).
Dear brother or sister in Christ, we humbly invite you to walk with us on the greatest journey this side of eternity - to follow the Savior! Let us be of one mind, one heart, and one spirit, seeking to be the salt and light for our local area. There are multitudes all around us perishing without Christ - let us join hand-in-hand and reach them together, (Jude 23), that the kingdom of God can be established in the hearts and lives of those who can’t spiritually discern between their “right hand and their left”, (Jonah 4:11).
