Our Affiliation is with God our Father and His Son Jesus the Christ. Our membership

Distinctive Doctrines:
John 13:34-35
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,
