We believe ourselves to be only a part of the Church of Jesus Christ in Moscow and wish to be in fellowship with all the believers in the other assemblies in town. We meet to sing Our Lord’s praises, enjoy the company and encouragement of the saints, and to hear instruction from the Holy Scriptures.
THE FELLOWSHIP:
We have no formal membership. We belong to each other in Christ and we accept all whom He has accepted. Those who have passed from death to life and meet with us regularly are viewed as a part of this body. Nonbelievers are, of course, welcome to attend. We trust that the Holy Spirit of God will keep our hearts open to the evidences of faith shown by those who claim the Name of Jesus Christ.
“So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.” Romans 12:5
THE GATHERINGS:
Sunday Service, Wednesday Night Bible Study, occasional church leadership meetings and potlucks.
“Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another,” Hebrews 10:25
THE SINGING:
The congregants request hymns out of the hymnal (Great Hymns of the Faith) during the first 20 minutes.
“Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart,” Ephesians 5:19
THE READING OF THE SCRIPTURES:
Someone, from a rotation made up of volunteers from believers in the church, reads a passage of his choosing.
“Till I come, attend to the public reading of scripture, to preaching, to teaching.” I Timothy 4:13
THE PRAYERS:
We take time to hear concerns and thanksgivings from the congregation and then various men, women, and children lift those things up to Our God in prayer.
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men,” I Timothy 2:1
THE TEACHING AND PREACHING:
We enjoy an expositional, contextual, and rational examination of the Holy Scriptures through which we seek to be edified by the grace of God and in obedience to it, acquire the holiness that can be ours in Jesus Christ.
“Him we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom,
that we may present every man mature in Christ.” Colossians 1:28
