Who are "The Churches of Christ?"
Whatever the "church of Christ" was in New Testament writings...this is what we strive to be. The apostle Paul mentioned "the churches of Christ" in Romans 16:16. He said, "all the churches of Christ greet you." In saying this, Paul was not referring to numerous "denominations" of Christ's church; but to various "congregations" scattered throughout the Roman Empire (i.e. Ephesus, Corinth, etc).
We, too, are striving to be the same church as our early predecessors. We are undenominational in the sense that we have no central headquarters or president. Every congregation of the "churches of Christ" is completely autonomous and rests upon "the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone" (Ephesians 2:20). Jesus is the one and only "head" of His church...and His church is the "body" over which He is "head" (Ephesians 1:22-23). This means that the church is to be in complete subjection to the will of Christ presented in the pages of inspired New Testament scripture (II Timothy 3:16-17). A serious burden of responsibility is laid upon the elders, evangelists, and members of every local congregation to be certain that our beliefs and behavior are correct. We analyze our faith carefully, we study the Bible thoroughly, and we reject false doctrines and traditions which contradict the teachings of Jesus and His apostles (Matthew 7:21;II Thessalonians 2:15).

What Should I Expect When I Visit?
(Move mouse over the bold text)
 |
When you visit our assembly..."Simplicity" will be the outstanding feature. Our building and furnishings are modest. Everyone is of equal importance and we all dress and act like common, ordinary folks. Our building was once an old bakery about the turn of the last century. It has been renovated many times. The main auditorium will seat about 200 people. |

|
Our worship assembly is focused toward God, not toward man. We are not there to put on a show, nor to be entertained. We assemble to lift our praises to God in song. We raise our petitions to God in prayer.
We remember the sacrifice of Christ in the Lord's Supper every week. We learn God's word from a scriptural sermon. We share our prosperity to fund the further spread of God's good news. These activities were all practiced by the first century church when they assembled.
You may participate in as many of these activities as you understand or feel comfortable doing. No one will think poorly of you if you decline participation in certain things. You will notice that people stand around and visit for a long time after worship. This is where wonderful, lifelong friendships are made. It will be through these new friends, as they share truth from scripture, that you will find the answers and fulfillment that you are seeking. |
