We believe that belonging to the local church is the beginning of fulfillment in being an active part of the body of Christ. This fulfillment can be experienced only as a participant, not a spectator. As a spectator, one misses out on the blessing of being a part of the body of Christ, the church. Our W.E.L.D.S. classes meet a few times a year to provide an introduction and understanding of our church and denomination history, beliefs and place in God's creation.

And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?" Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." |
