Calvary Chapel Of Crook County - Main

The early church was composed of believers who were steadfast, diligent and faithful. As such they exhibited several characteristics of a healthy church that we should strive for today. They were a learning church, studying the apostles’ doctrine and the Word of God. They gave themselves to fellowship (some assembly required). They broke bread together. This included regular “love feasts” as well as the communion celebration. They continued steadfastly in prayer. The early church was a praying church. They were a generous church. They had all things in common and voluntarily shared their possessions as the need arose. It was a church of gladness, joy and simplicity. Finally, it was a witnessing, evangelical church. Being a part of a local fellowship is not essential to be saved, but it is to be a true Christian.
