We are people who are striving to be Christians like those of the First Century as they followed the teachings of the inspired apostles.  Peter defines Christians briefly in his first epistle when he wrote, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy” (1 Peter 2:9-10 NKJV).  We make no claims to being perfect but as those who, like the apostle Paul, are striving to reach the prize of the high calling of God  that is in Christ (Philippians 3:13-14).
