We do not receive offerings here to help the needy in the congregation or in the community, nor send out money to missions.
We do not perform funerals here.
We do not gather at a set time for Worship or for prayer meetings.
We do not have a childrens ministry nor a vacation Bible school for children, or other ministries churches provide.
Mt.9:37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
We do not have to submit ourselves under authority to those in headship over us here, like at church. (Preachers, deacons, elders, etc.)
