By Way of Introduction
Many
people hesitate to visit a church unless they know what it will be like when
they go. Perhaps we can help you know what to expect when you visit the church
of Christ.
Our Worship is Simple and
Devout
Our
services are conducted in a quiet, worshipful atmosphere. They are designed to
draw the worshipers closer to God and to provide enduring Spiritual Strength.
Our worship consists only of those elements which the New Testament reveals as
having been used as worship by the church in the days of the apostles. We sing
and pray, partake of the Lord's supper, have the Word of God preached for our
instruction, and give of our means for the spreading of the Gospel, and caring
for the poor. In all of this we seek to maintain the attitude which Christ
taught when He said: "God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must
worship in Spirit and Truth." (John 4:24)
Our Authority Is The
Bible Alone
Our
source of authority is that which is found only in the inspired Scripture.
Therefore, we seek to be governed in all that we do by God's Holy Bible. Since
the Scriptures are sufficient for our every need (II Timothy 3:16-17), our
preaching and teaching contains only that which is commanded in the Bible.
Our People Are Christians
Only
The
division in the religious world today is far different from the unity enjoyed
by the early Christians, before traditionalism and distinctive names divided
them. Believing such division to be contrary to the Scriptures, we have no
Denominational organization or name, doctrine or creed. Following the
teachings of Christ and His apostles, individually we are known as Christians,
collectively as a church of Christ.
You Will Never Be
Embarrassed
You
visit us as a welcome and respected guest. At the end of the sermon those
wishing to become Christians are invited to step to the front of the
auditorium to let their wishes be known. But never is anyone singled out for
public attention. People are urged from the pulpit to accept the gospel and to
yield its call with deep spiritual conviction.
You Will Find A Friendly
Spirit
We
believe that friendliness is a natural attitude among people who truly love
God. Our visitors, who always receive a warm welcome, appreciate the courtesy
and cordiality of these Christians. We truly hope you will accept our
invitation to meet with us soon. You will be benefited by coming. You will
find a list of our services inside.
What is The Church of
Christ ?
One
question that comes to mind when visiting the church of Christ is "What
is the Church of Christ and who are these people that want to be just
Christians?"
