THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCHA new movement is occurring in the assemblies. Many Christians are meeting in their homes for worship, prayer, Bible study, and mutual support. This web site offers a number of studies, Biblical principles, and policies for such groups. It is important that such groups have an understanding of how they will organize, choose leaders, define membership and conduct the life of the assembly. We pray that these studies will help in that effort. May God bless you as you use them to magnify the Body of Christ. These studies may also be used by churches to better meet their members needs and concerns. Too often local churches are more interested in their programs and growth then with meeting peoples needs. Any church that does not develop mature Christians is failing to do what Christ expects that church to do. This web site is dedicated to honor Jesus as the Head of the Assembly, His body on earth. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything He might be supreme. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.

Contact me at A Better Hope if you have questions or comments. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13 WEB)
