Our Business

 Welcome to the Church of Christ!

    If you are visiting our assembly today you are our honored guest. Our assembly is not a display of emotions or excitement, but a simple and devout period of worship, patterned after the worship of the early church as found in the New Testament. You will hear scriptures read, prayers spoken, congregational singing, and preaching from the Bible. Each week we as Christians partake of the Lord’s Supper as instructed in 1 Cor. 11:23-32 to remember the death of Jesus Christ. We are compelled to follow the commands of Christ in all areas of our worship and Christian life. We preach the gospel in love...trusting that everyone present will examine their life in the light of scriptures.

    The Church of Christ occupies a unique place in the religious world. It is not a part of Judaism, Catholicism, or Protestant Denominationalism. It is as distinct from these religions as they are distinct from each other. It’s plea for a return to the Bible has made it appealing to those who long for spirituality and simplicity of the Church as revealed in the Holy Bible. We preach the same Gospel and teach the same plan of salvation based on the grace of God as taught in the New Testament.

Romans 1:16. This plan includes:
 • Faith in Christ. Mark 16:16; Acts 16:31
 • Repentance of Sins. Acts 2:38; 17;30
 • Confession Faith in Christ. Matt 10:32; Romans 10:10
 • Baptism. Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; 22:16; Gal. 3:27, I Peter 3:21
   (this baptism is the burial in water of a penitent believer to wash
   away his sins.) Colossians 2:12; Ephesians 4:5.
 • Live faithfully in Christ Rev. 2:10.
   Our worship is according to the New Testament pattern,
   John 4:23, 24 consists of :
 • Singing without use of man-made instruments of music. Ephesians
   5:19; Colossians 3:16.
 • Praying to God. Acts 2:42
 • Observing the Lord’s supper each first day of the week. Acts
   2:42; 20:7, I Corinthians 11:23-30
 • Giving. I Corinthians 16:1, 2; 2 Corinthians 9:7
 • Teaching God’s word. Acts 2:42; I Timothy 3:15, 2 Timothy 4:1,2.
