Gathering together in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Let us seek God together, meet with Christ as our head, be "knit together in love".
Just brothers and sisters in Christ, gathering to edify each other.
One Body
As followers of Christ and coming out from different denominations, we realize that all believers in Christ are called into one body. We seek to live this out by recognizing the unity of believers regardless of our disagreements (Rom 14:1 - 15:7). We need to "love in actions and truth" with the unity that Jesus is Lord, Master, and Controller.
One Authority
Since Jesus is Lord we have no authority to gather around catholic sacraments or protestant sermons. All authority belongs to Jesus and he has given the authority to teach what he has commanded - nothing more nor less can be taught with authority (Matt 28:18-20). And this is his commandment, that we love one another.
Many Edifying
We gather to build each other up in love, with an openness for each to share a song, a teaching, a tongue, a revelation, or an intepretation (1 Cor 14:26).
Most gatherings are in homes and will include eating a full meal as the Lord's supper. Imagine, the Lords supper being...well, a supper.
We talk with each other, some here and some there. Not a program but just being people.
