We believe that the church must be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone (Eph. 2:20). We believe that the church starts in our own living room. If you want to find the church, then you should read the New Testament. Begin in the book of Acts and the Epistles of Paul and you will see the ture model of the church. We believe that the church of today shouldn’t be any different from the church in the book of Acts. We believe that this is God’s pattern and foundation for His church. That is the church that all churches are to follow, emulate, and model themselves after.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:42-47 NIV).
