We are a group of Christ’s followers meeting in Mattoon, Illinois. We do not belong to any denomination. We are simply Christians, with Christ as our head (Colossians 1:18). We have no headquarters but heaven, and no book that serves as our “creed” except the Bible. As the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17), the Bible is looked to as our standard of authority in all matters of salvation.

We teach one another and worship God by singing “psalms and hymns and spiritual songs” (Ephesians 5:19), making melody in our hearts as we do so. We pray to God (Acts 2:42). We study and teach God’s written Word (Acts 17:11; 1 Peter 4:11), which is the Bible.

On the first day of the week, we also partake of the Lord’s supper, as saints in the New Testament did (Acts 20:7) and lay by in store (1 Corinthians 16:1-2).

We would love to have you visit with us any time we meet. We would be happy to study with you in person or through a correspondence course and/or answer any questions you have.

If simple New Testament Christianity appeals to you, won’t you come visit or reach out to us. Click here to send us a message. We’d be delighted to be of help.
