CHURCH MINISTRIES
What We Offer

FAMILY ATMOSPHERE

Pillar of Truth Church literally believes that a true New Testament Church is comprised of groups people called out to serve Jehovah God as a Family of Brothers and Sisters. The sciptures are replete with examples of Christians calling each other brothers and sisters. The book of Ephesians calls the Church in heaven and on earth the Family of God. The whole family in heaven and on earth is named by the name of Jesus Christ. We receive that name when we go down into the water after faith and repentance.
BENEVOLENCY FUND MINISTRY: Just as a natural family is suppose to care for one another so also is the spiritual family of God. Pillar of Truth has a Benevolency Fund to minister to the needs of the saints. We have helped many brothers and sisters through tough times. The Benevolency Fund has been used to help people with food, utility bills, car bills, or to purchase a car. If a brother or sister is in need and we don't help and we have the ability to do so the apostle asks "How does the love of God dwell in us?
SUNDAY FELLOWSHIP MEALS: Pillar of Truth further promotes a family atmosphere by offering a fellowship meal with their church family immediately after each Sunday Service. Depending on the length of the service we take about an hour or two to eat together and spend a lot of time in good clean fun and fellowship.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP

The Music Ministry of Pillar of Truth Church has a small praise team singing upbeat contemporary Christian Music. We use a very large screen and an overhead projector to clearly display each song so that all worshippers are able to sing along. We always have a great time loving and worshipping Jehovah God with all of our hearts. We worship the One True God in Spirit and in Truth. Even those who disagree with our One God Apostolic Message usually love our praise and worship services. The Spirit of God is always strong in our services. Even the unsaved tell us that they feel the presence of God very strong when they visit. We thank God for that!

HOME BIBLE STUDIES
"EVIDENCE FOR FAITH APOSTOLIC BIBLE STUDY"

Our Pastor has developed a Home Bible Study called "Evidence For Faith Apostolic Bible Study" designed to reach all types of unbelievers, including atheists, agnostics, muslims, budists, Hindu's, and all kinds of professing Christians. This course offers very convincing evidence for faith in the scriptures via Bible Prophesy, Archaeology, History, Astronomy, and Science. Pastor Ritchie has covered almost every possible barrier that keeps people from obeying the gospel. Since Pastor Ritchie was once an atheist he has sought to provide convincing answers to people who believe in general evolution or in various Satanic deceptions such as misleading after death experiences, UFO's, bigfoot, and ghosts. Solid and convincing evidence is presented for the Resurrection, Oneness Theology, True Christian Water Baptism, and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Unlike other Apostolic Pentecostal Bible Studies such as Exploring God's Word and Search For Truth the Evidence For Faith Apostolic Bible Study does not seek to cover the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The Evidence For Faith Bible Study focuses solely on the most important topics that will win people over to faith in the true gospel as delivered by the first century apostles of Christ. Pillar of Truth also offers Search For Truth Home Bible Studies in Long Island homes free of charge.

GOOD NEWS NEWSPAPERS

Our Pastor has written a 40 page Evangelistic Christian Newspaper covering the following topics. Dinosaurs Are In The Bible, Atomic Bombs In The Bible, The Accuracy of Bible Prophecy, Are Catholic Popes Infallible, True Christian Baptism According To Scripture, True Christian Baptism According To History, The Origin of the Trinity, The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Who Is God, and more.

ONENESS VS. TRINITY BOOK LENDING MINISTRY

THE BOOK "THE NATURE OF GOD" - "Understanding God's Threefold Revelation as Father, Son, And Holy Spirit" Pastor Ritchie has written a very attractive and powerfully persuasive 74 page book designed to lend out to people who go to Trinitarian or Arian Assemblies (Jehovah's Witnesses teach a form of Arianism). The book includes lots of clip art, pictures, historical art, illustrative charts and a well orchestrated array of scriptural and historical evidence to prove the concept of a Trinity is of pagan origin and completely foreign to the Bible. The book explains the full deity of Christ while offering answers to arguments that Trinitarians commonly use to prove a Trinity. We believe that this book offers the most concise and convincing array of evidence in Apostolic Pentecost to persuade Trinitarians over to the Oneness position. We don't believe there is another book in the whole Oneness Movement that is more convincing. To place orders send an email to Pillar of Truth Publications at pillaroftruth@myexcel.com or call 631-833-1136. We ask for a $25 donation for the first book. If you would like to order more books to use as a ministry in a local apostolic assembly we can send them to you at $15 per book (this price includes shipping and handling).
BOOK LENDING MINISTRY: All you have to do is ask people who go to Trinitarian Assemblies if they can explain some of your questions on the Trinitarian postion. We suggest that you use some of the questions under "Hard Questions For Trinitarians" inside of the book. When they can't answer your questions offer them this book. Tell them that you are lending it to them only for three weeks to help them to understand God's Revelation as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Always make sure you either know this person real well or get their phone number. This way you can use the same book to lend out to at least twelve people per year. After about five days call or ask this person how they are doing with the book. If they are not reading it after one full week politely tell them that you have other people interested in the book and you will need it back if they don't start reading it right away. You may have to call people many times before you get the book back but don't hesitate to do so. What would happen if you lent out twenty books per month to twenty different professing Christians and just twenty percent obeyed the apostolic faith? You would win two people per month and twenty two people per year. Now when you consider that many people will bring their spouses, children, friends and relatives with them you will be used by God to win many more people. For each person that gets baptized in Jesus Name there should be at least one other that will soon follow. That would be 44 souls saved in one year. We beleive that whole churches will be founded on this method of ministry alone. There is a great evangelistic field in reaching professing Christians in these last days. Many of them have a genuine love for the Lord but they are deceived into believing the Trinity and a false Christian Baptism into the titles rather than into the Name of Jesus. If we are able to convincingly and lovingly share the truth with these people and answer all of their questions (which this book does) we will be able to win many thousands and even millions of them before Christ returns.

ONENESS HOME VIDEO

"THE TRINITY EXPOSED"

A Two Hour Home Video by Pastor Steve Ritchie exposing the flaws of Trinitarianism. Much emphasis is placed on obedience to the command of Christ to be baptized into the Name of Jesus Christ. A great tool to win those you know to the Oneness Apostolic Message.
