WE ARE...

Simply a congregation of Christians. We are not a denomination. We have no human name, creed, ordinance, or discipline that would separate us from other Christians. We are an independent congregation governed by the Word of God. We are Christians only, but recognize we are not the only Christians. (Acts 11:26, 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16)

Simply a Church of Christ. The Church of Christ was established on the day of Pentecost, 30 A.D. (Acts 2) following the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 16:16-18, Romans 16:16)

 

WE HAVE...

No head but Christ. 
Jesus Christ is the solitary head of His Church. His authority is absolute and it has been delegated to no man or set of men on earth. (Ephesians 1:22-23)

No book but the Bible. 
The Bible is our only all sufficient rule of faith and practice. Christ revealed His Will for His Church through the Holy Spirit using inspired men to record the Scriptures. (John 14:25-26; Colossians 2:8-10; 1 Timothy 4:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:2-4)

No plea but the Gospel. 
The Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-6) in the hearts of people is the power (Romans 1:16) of God unto salvation. This divine message must be proclaimed without additions or subtractions. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:36-42, 8:35-39)

 

WE AIM...

To restore the New Testament Order.

a. The authority of Christ, the unity of the followers of Christ, and the evangelization of the world for Christ demands a return to the apostolic order a revealed in the Bible. (John 17:20-23; Ephesians 4:1-5)

b. Therefore, it is our purpose to go back before Protestantism and Catholicism and build according to the divine pattern for the church as revealed by Christ through 
His apostles. (Ephesians 2:19-22; Hebrews 1:1-2; Jude 3; Revelation 22:18-19)

To serve Christ by serving others. Without compromising the glorious Gospel of the Lord, we aim to become all things to all men that we by all means save some. (1 Corinthians 9:19-23) we are here to serve in the name of Jesus. Feel free to call on us at any time. (Matthew 25:31-46; Acts 20:35)
