Who Are We?

Who are the Christian Churches / Churches of Christ? We are a Non-Denominational, locally governed body of believers committed to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We are a New Testament Church, finding the authority for rule and practice in the writings of the New Testament, particularly the Acts and Epistles as these bodies of writings deal with the history, growth and conduct of the church. We speak where the Scriptures speak and are silent where Scriptures are silent. We seek fellowship with all who profess Jesus as Lord and who are willing to comply with the clear teachings of the New Testament. We seek for unity in essentials, freedom in matters of opinion, and love in all things. We are not the only Christians but seek to be Christian only.


What Do We Believe?

  • Baptism: the word "baptize" is a Greek word meaning, "immerse, dip, or plunge." It is our practice to baptize only those who have believed in Jesus Christ and who have repented (changed their mind about) of sin.  We do not baptize infants.
  • Communion: we practice observance of the Lord's Supper every Lord's Day.  He did not dictate frequency, but said that as often as His followers shared the meal, to do so in remembrance of Him. It becomes no more common to do so each Lord's Day than does our gathering together, singing hymns, praying or listening to a sermon.
  • Music: We believe that the New Testament clearly allows the use of instrumental music.
  • Elders: The New Testament has clearly indicated that there are to be qualified men, above reproach, who are appointed by the congregation to serve as Elders.  Synonymous terms are: Bishop, Presbyter, Pastor (shepherd) and Overseer.
  • Deacons: The word means "servant" and the New Testament indicates that qualified men, above reproach, are to be set apart by the congregation to serve in various ways.
  • The Bible: Both Old and New Testaments are fully inspired.  The Old Testament and its Laws have been supreceded by the New Testament, in which we find all we need for life, Godliness and Church authority.
  • Jesus Christ: He is the Virgin Born and Only Begotten Son of God.  He is the unique human being in Whom dwelt the fullness of Deity. He hung on a cross, choosing His own moment to die; He was dead, and buried in a borrowed tomb.  He arose, physically and literally, from the grave on the Lord's Day morning. He ascended to Heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father.  He will return again to receive His own and will reign forever as King of Kings. His is the only Name by which we may obtain salvation.
  • Heaven and Hell: We believe in a literal, eternal heaven for the saved and a literal hell for the condemned.
