Our Beliefs 

We Believe The Bible is the inspired Word of God (II Timothy 3:16-17).  The Bible does not merely contain our religious authority; it ALONE is our religious authority.

We are a non-denominational body of believers. Our goal is to be "Christians only." Our membership is made up of people from many backgrounds.  The common faith we have in God and His Word keeps us together as a church family.

Jesus said, "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24).  We do, to the best of our ability, to follow this command in our worship services.  By careful study of the New Testament church, it is revealed that items of worship observed by the first-century church were singing, praying, preaching, giving, and partaking of the Lord's Supper.

One worship practice that sets the church of Christ apart from most Christian churches is acappella singing.  We worship in song in this way because there is no Biblical mention of instrumental music in the first-century church (Matthew 26:30, Acts 16:25, Romans 15:9, 1 Corinthians 14:15, Ephesians 5:18-19, Colossians 3:16, Hebrews 2:12, James 5:13).  The result is a beautiful blending of all voices, seeking to praise and glorify God in spirit and love.

Another place you may notice a difference between our church and other religious groups is the weekly observance of the Lord's Supper.  It is observed in memory of Christ's crucifixion.  In Acts 20:7, we find "And upon the first day of the week ... the disciples came together to break bread."  We follow this example and honor Jesus every week by participating in this communion.

Following the lesson someone may ask for prayers of the church, or there may be a baptism.  After study, prayer, and meditation, an individual may feel ready to be baptized as a means of remission of sins and salvation.  (Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, John 3:5, 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 22:16).  When a person is baptized in Christ for these reasons, he or she becomes a Christian and is added to the church by the Lord.  No further steps are required for church membership except continued love, obedience, and service to the Savior.
