About The Church of Christ

As our “name” is so non-specific, we do not consider ourselves to be part of any denomination. We are simply Christians, followers of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We have laid aside all denominational creeds and doctrines and we are guided only by the Bible in all matters of faith. We have done this, not out of condemnation of others who are seeking God, but because we earnestly desire to pattern ourselves after the body of believers Jesus established in the first century.

In the Bible, God did not “name” this body of believers. There was only one body, so names were unnecessary. Individually, they were referred to as “Disciples” or “Christians” (Acts 11:26). As a group meeting together in different locations, they were referred to by many descriptive phrases such as; “the flock” (Acts 20:28), “the temple of God” (1 Corinthians 3:16), “the body of Christ” (Colossians 1:24) or simply “the church” (Ephesians 5:25).

Collectively, the Apostle Paul referred to them as “the churches of Christ” in Romans 16:16, indicating what he had always taught, and that is, the “church” belongs to Christ (Colossians 1:18,24). Most often, this body of believers were simply referred to as the “church” in (whatever location)  (1 Thessalonians 1:1, Colossians 4:16 etc..). Our name simply reflects this Biblical description and our desire to be the church of Christ.

We firmly believe that God wants all believers to be united; however, this unity must be based upon His terms written down in the Word of God and not upon the dividing doctrines and teachings of men. We do not consider ourselves as “perfect,” nor do we believe that we have attained all that God wants us to be. We simply follow Him, and trust His Word to lead us.
