About Us
WHO WE ARE
AND WHAT WE BELIEVE
WHO ARE WE?
We are an assembly of New Testament Christians who gather together
in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Because of the standing we have in Christ, eternal life is found in the person and work of Jesus Christ through His death for us on the cross.
We do not have an affiliation, or follow a creed or church constitution
with a denomination, nor take any organizational names.
Our desire is to obey His word by meeting according
to the teaching of the Bible
A BRIEF HISTORY....
It was in 1982 that a group of Christians in the Port Hope area got together to have Bible studies in our homes. There were two families that were driving long distances to other Gospel Halls and there were some families who had attended the more recently closed Port Hope Bible Chapel. We happily fellowshipped together for a year in these studies and then prayerfully decided to meet together as an assembly and function with a remembrance service, a gospel message and Sunday school.
On April 3, 1983 we began meeting in a rented room at the Lion’s Centre in Port Hope where we continued for a year during which time we purchased our present building at 182 Cavan Street and commenced meeting at this “new” building in April of 1984. It had been a Pittsburg Paint Store and had had a fire in it at some point in time so there was a lot of clean up and renovation to be done. It was a flat roofed building and so some years later, with the help of many fellow Christians from several assemblies, we were able to put on a peaked roof. The stucco building was changed to vinyl siding later as well.
With the Lord’s help we continue on and pray that we will function in a way that honours Him in all we do and say.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Bible is the divinely inspired, infallible Word of God and is our authority in all matters of faith and conduct in our lives.
2 Timothy 3:16,17, 1 Peter 1:25, 2 Peter 1:21.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:3 , Matthew 1:23, I Corinthians 2:9, 10
Matthew 28:19
That All have sinned , and therefore need a Saviour.
Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23
In the Lord Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, His sinless humanity, His atoning death, burial and resurrection and His power to save.
John 1: 1-5, Romans 5:8, Acts 4:10, I Corinthians 15:3,4
There is salvation for any sinner who, through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work, will put their trust in Him.
Ephesians 2:8 & 9, John 3:16, 1 Peter 1:3-5.
Once a person is united by faith with Christ, they are sealed by the Holy Spirit and nothing can ever separate them from Christ.
John 10:27-30, Romans 8:38-39, Ephesians 1:13 Romans 5:1-2.
We believe in baptism by immersion upon a personal confession of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 2:12
On the first day of the week, through worship, we remember the Lord by keeping the Lord’s Supper (Breaking of Bread ) according to the New Testament pattern, honouring His command “this do in remembrance of Me “.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ,Mark 14:23-24, Luke 22:19-20, Matthew 26:26-27
The Lord Jesus Christ will return to the air (the Rapture) and gather all who have trusted in Him for salvation, taking them Home to Heaven.
1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18.
While we await for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, we seek to proclaim the message of salvation through faith alone .
