You should expect a warm welcome and to meet some joyful Christians. We love to sing with our heart to the Lord and to speak to one another in psalms and hymns (Eph. 5:19). Our gatherings are characterized by mutuality: we encourage praise, prayer, and speaking from one another (1 Cor. 14:26).

If your worship style is more meditative, you will also feel comfortable meeting with us. We are not for any particular outward form, practice, or liturgy. Our only goal is to worship the Lord in spirit and truthfulness (John 4:24).

Absolutely. Attending a Sunday meeting is not the only way to have fellowship with us. If you leave your contact information on our contact form, we will be sure to contact you promptly and in a manner that makes you most comfortable.

Yes, ministering to families, including children and teenagers, is an important part of our responsibility and stewardship. Most of our meeting venues have comfortable facilities for children and teens, and we typically have age-appropriate classes or sessions each Sunday. See the Children and Youth pages for more information.

We have no dress code, and we simply encourage you to be led by the Spirit in all things (Rom. 8:14).

God’s intention is that all of His believers would serve Him as priests (1 Pet. 2:5). All Christians have the innate capacity to contact God, worship God, be filled with God, pray to God, speak for God, and represent God (Acts 1:8; 1 Cor. 14:31; 1 Pet. 2:9; Rom. 1:9).

Of course, the ascended Christ has given gifts to the Body which we treasure, including apostles, prophets, evangelists, and shepherds and teachers (Eph. 4:11). There are many who serve as shepherds and teachers among us, including the elders of the church, along with others who have the spiritual gift of shepherding and teaching (1 Pet. 5:1-3; Acts 20:28).

The personal Bible collections of our church members are as diverse as any other congregation. But when we gather together for larger meetings we frequently find it useful to use the same text: the Recovery Version. The Recovery Version of the New Testament is based on the Nestle-Aland Greek text (26th edition) and is part of the great heritage of Bible translations through church history.

We are not part of any denomination. We follow the New Testament pattern which shows Christ’s believers who congregate only on the basis of the locality in which they live (see Acts 8:1; 13:1; Rom. 16:1; 1 Cor. 1:2). Because we live in Arcadia, we meet simply as the church in Arcadia. As the church in Arcadia, we receive all of the believers in Arcadia, as Christ has also received us (Rom. 15:7).

We have a rich fellowship with thousands of other local churches throughout the world to express the one Body of Christ. Members in the church frequently travel to visit other churches both locally and internationally. There are frequent regional, national, and international conferences and trainings throughout the year where we see more of the “breadth, length, height, and depth” of the Body of Christ (Eph. 3:18).

Witness Lee and Watchman Nee are two of the most influential Christian ministers of the 20th century, and the church in Arcadia has been a beneficiary of their ministry since our inception in 1962. They both stress the same general theme of the Christian’s experience of Christ as life for the building up of the Body of Christ in many practical ways.

Living Stream Ministry publishes the collected works of these two servants of the Lord Jesus Christ and makes the complete texts of many of their publications freely available online.

您会得着温暖的接待，并认识一些喜乐的基督徒。我们喜欢从心里向主歌唱，用诗章、颂辞、灵歌彼此对说（弗五19）。我们的聚会是彼此相互的：我们鼓励众人都赞美、祷告、彼此说话（林前十四26）。

如果您喜欢较安静的敬拜方式，与我们一同聚会也会感到自在。我们不拘泥于任何外在的形式、作法或仪式，惟一的目标是在灵和真实里敬拜主（约四24）。

当然可以。参加主日聚会并不是与我们交通的惟一方式。若您在联络表格中留下联络方式，我们会尽快以您最方便的方式与您联系。

有。牧养家庭，包括儿童和青少年，是我们重要的责任与托付。我们大多数的聚会地点都为儿童和青少年预备了合适的环境，每个主日通常也有按年龄分组的儿童班。详情请参阅儿童和青少年页面。

我们没有服装要求，只是鼓励您在凡事上都被神的灵引导（罗八14）。

神的心意是要祂所有的信徒都作祭司事奉祂（彼前二5）。所有的基督徒都天然有能力接触神、敬拜神、被神充满、向神祷告、为神说话，并代表神（徒一8，林前十四31，彼前二9，罗一9）。

当然，升天的基督赐给身体的恩赐是我们所宝爱的，包括使徒、申言者、传福音者，以及牧人和教师（弗四11）。在我们中间有许多人尽牧养和教导的功用，包括召会的长老们，以及其他有牧养和教导恩赐的人（彼前五1～3，徒二十28）。

召会中圣徒个人所用的圣经版本，和其他任何会众一样多元。但在较大的聚会中，我们常发现使用同一个译本是有益的，那就是恢复本。新约恢复本是根据Nestle-Aland希腊文经文（第二十六版）翻译的，属于历代圣经翻译丰富传承的一部分。

若想免费索取新约恢复本，或进一步了解，请浏览Bibles for America（美国圣经援助会）。

我们不属于任何宗派。我们按照新约的榜样，基督的信徒只以他们所居住的地方为立场聚集（参徒八1，十三1，罗十六1，林前一2）。因为我们住在亚凯迪亚，所以我们单单作为亚凯迪亚召会聚集。作为亚凯迪亚召会，我们接纳在亚凯迪亚所有的信徒，正如基督也接纳了我们一样（罗十五7）。

我们与全地数千个地方召会有丰富的交通，一同彰显基督独一的身体。召会中的圣徒常到本地及海外的众召会访问相调。每年都有许多区域性、全国性和国际性的特会与训练，使我们更多看见基督身体的“长、阔、高、深”（弗三18）。

倪柝声和李常受是二十世纪最有影响力的两位基督徒职事者。亚凯迪亚召会自1962年开始，就受益于他们的职事。他们都着重同一个总主题：基督徒经历基督作生命，以许多实际的方式建造基督的身体。
