About the ChurchThe “church of Christ” is a Scriptural name, but is by no means a denominational name (Romans 16:16). We are not a denomination. The very word “denomination” suggests division and we firmly believe in the unity of Christians (John 17:21-23; Ephesians 4:13). We do not belong or pay dues to any association, convention, synod or any other governing body. Instead, our head is Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:18). We have no creed but the Holy Scriptures to guide us as a church (2 Timothy 3:16,17). For this reason, it would be redundant to list our beliefs…since they are already listed for us in the Bible. Plainly, we strive to be Christians without the denominational trappings so common in our age. Thus, the purpose of the name “church of Christ” is simply to describe us as a body of people belonging to Jesus Christ, and striving to do His will (Colossians 3:17). This simple approach to Christianity is appealing and attractive to those who just want to do what the Bible says without corruption (2 Corinthians 11:3). Many churches are engaged in recreational, material and political endeavors unauthorized by Christ or His apostles (Luke 6:46). Our desire is to abide in the doctrine of Christ without swaying to our own opinions and traditions (2 John 9; Matthew 7:21-23; 15:7-9). In so doing, we hope that our worship is in “spirit and truth” (John 4:24). As a body of believers, we assemble each Lord’s Day to worship Jesus Christ (Revelations 1:10). Our worship is not designed to entertain audiences, though we hope you find it inspiring, but is a heartfelt expression of our faith in God and is directed toward Him. In our worship, we try to emulate the first-century church by:
If your desire is to learn more about and serve the Lord with other believers, we invite you to assemble with us. One of our greatest encouragements throughout the week is reuniting with brothers and sisters from God’s family (Ephesians 2:19). We hope you will join us and experience the joy of being with God’s family and serving our Lord together. We know we have a wonderful Father in heaven…we hope you will join us as His children (1 John 3:1-3)! |
