The church is people, Christ's people. It is the total of all people who have obeyed the gospel of Christ and have heard the word of God (Romans 10:17) and believe in Christ and His gospel (Hebrews 11:6), realize they are living in sin and will lose their soul eternally, and therefore, must repent (Luke 13:3),confess His name before men (Matt. 10:32-33) and be immersed in water for the forgiveness of their sins (Mark 16:16). They understand that salvation is offered only to those who remain faithful to the gospel until death (Rev. 2:10). They await each time they are able to gather with each other to encourage each other and worship their God in spirit and in truth (John 4:23). The church that meets in Arkansas City, Kansas meets on Sunday morning for Bible class at 9:00 a.m., worship at 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and Wednesday mid-week Bible class at 7:00 p.m.
