Greetings from the Christians in Bay, Arkansas!
We are a group of Christians who have no desire to be called by any other religious name. We are Christians and Christians only, recognizing that salvation is only in the name of Christ (Acts 4:10-12). We have ultimate respect for God's Holy Word and have no desire for any other creed. The Scriptures provide all we need to be exactly what God would have us to be (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). When you visit us during Sunday worship, you will find:
We sing praises to God without musical instruments (Hebrews 13:15; Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16), and prayers are offered only to the Father through Jesus as the Word of God instructs (Matthew 6:9; 1 Timothy 2:5; Ephesians 5:20).
Second Timothy 4:2; Acts 20:7. The church that Jesus built has no man-written creed, by-laws, or anything of that nature. Only the Word of God has authority for what we do (Colossians 3:17), so that is what we preach and teach.
Members of the church participate in the Lord's supper, remembering Jesus's death on the cross (1 Cor. 11:23-34). It is observed every first day of the week, and only on the first day of the week, as the New Testament example illustrates (Acts 20:7).
We take up a free will offering every first day of the week, and only on the first day of the week (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). Like the Lord’s Supper, this, too, is only for members of the church. We do not expect our visitors to participate and we will never ask them for money.
