We strive, as much as possible, to adhere to and pattern ourselves after the early New Testament church as revealed in Acts 6:3-13 and 15:22. We are an indigenous, self-governing body. Our congregation is guided and served by pastors and deacons and we manage our own affairs without influence or interference from any other body or church organization.

At the age of eight, during a Good Friday service at his home church in Maryland, Nick experienced a profound moment of regeneration, recognizing his need for forgiveness and placing his faith in Jesus Christ's finished work. This moment solidified his commitment to a lifelong relationship with God.
Now settled in Elizabeth City, Nick and Kimberly enjoy watching quality shows, taking walks (often to local coffee shops), and savoring great food together. As Youth Director, Nick is passionate about guiding students to develop a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ in a safe and loving environment.
