LEADERSHIP BODY: Christ the Head of God's Church, Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 5:23, and I Corinthians 11:3. Local contact persons are Darwin or Laura Lee.

 

PURPOSE: To provide Interdependent-Interactive, Church of God, Sabbath Services and Bible Studies to all of God's People, including those who are not welcome to visit or attend other groups due to having been suspended or disfellowshipped, as well as those who want a place to attend weekly, those who are just visiting our area, and anyone else who is interested in God's way of living. We also have open fellowship here, meaning that you are welcome to come visit with us during our open fellowship times even if you are not interested in attending our Sabbath Services or Bible Studies.

 

HISTORY: We held our first Bible Study here on June 30, 2000 and our first Sabbath Service was held on December 16, 2000.

 

AFFILIATION/MEMBERSHIP: Our affiliation is with God our Father and His Son Jesus the Christ. Our membership includes all of God's people, no matter where they are.

 

DISTINCTIVE DOCTRINES: John 13:34-35

 

USE SACRED NAMES?: Since salvation is between God and each individual (Philippians 2:12), so the use of sacred names would be between each individual person and God.

 

OBSERVE HOLY DAYS?: We believe that God commands us to keep the Weekly Sabbath as well as Passover/Days of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day, however, we also believe there is much controversy out there in understanding if certain ones should or shouldn't be kept, how to keep them and when to keep them. So with this in mind, we will try to the best of our ability to accommodate these differences, believing and having faith that someday through God's Holy Spirit, we will all be brought into the same understanding on this subject. Until then let's follow John 13:34-35.

 

EVANGELISTIC EFFORTS: We provide a service to God's People no matter where they are to the best of our ability. This service includes Interdependent-Interactive, Church of God, Sabbath Services, Bible Studies and Open Fellowship. We also welcome live speakers for interactive, and special music, on a volunteer only basis.

 

PERIODICALS: We have a newsletter which we publish every 2 months.

 

LITERATURE: We distribute tapes and literature for ourselves and others to the best of our ability.
