What To Expect When You Visit The Church

You are a Respected Guest

When you visit us, you will be a respected guest.  Our assembly is a period of simple, devout worship.  We gather to sing, study, pray, and worship together. Our goal for you is the same as for us - that through our worship of God, we are all  strengthened, edified, uplifted and made joyful in the knowledge that God has promised His children eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.  We invite you to come worship God with us.

Our Worship Is Simple

Our music is composed of ‘a cappella’ singing and everyone is encouraged to participate.  Our prayers are fervent appeals to God.  Our sermons are Christ-centered, Bible-filled, and designed to be understandable, in order to teach and encourage those in attendance.  Anyone desiring to become a Christian is afforded an opportunity at each assembly.  However, no one will go about the audience singling people out, asking them to stand or urging anyone to go forward.  Our services are designed to teach the Bible to all who come to worship, sing, and pray together.

Contributions are made on Sunday by members of the congregation to support the work of the church.  Visitors may give but are under no obligation to do so.  The Lord’s Supper is observed by Christians every Sunday as instituted by Jesus (Matthew 26:26-28).  It is a memorial supper of the Lord’s death (1 Corinthians 11:24-25).  Unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine symbolize the body and blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 10:16).

We Are Striving To Be A Congregation...

...that Is Non-Denominational.

Striving to maintain the organization, doctrine and worship of the New Testament church.  The term church of Christ (Romans 16:16) is not used as a denominational designation but rather as a descriptive term indicating that the church belongs to Christ.

...with No Creed But The Bible.

Exalting only Jesus Christ as the head of the church and His Gospel as the only source of authority and doctrine.

...with Only A Bible Name

Just a local congregation of people who call themselves Christians, and who wish to be one of the churches of Christ as mentioned in Romans 16:16.

...that Does Not Exalt Men

Our preachers wear no distinguishing title or dress. Christ is to have preeminence in the church which is His body (Colossians 1:18).

...whose members Recognize Their Weaknesses and need for Christ.

Members realize their own personal weaknesses, but they believe in the all-sufficiency and perfection of Christ’s plan for His church, as revealed in the New Testament.  We earnestly strive to uphold and proclaim only New Testament Christianity.

...that Pleads For Bible Unity.

In 1 Corinthians 1:10, the apostle Paul exhorts “…that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no division among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.”  Members of the body of Christ today are striving for unity based on the Bible’s teachings alone.

...which believes the Bible is the Final Word.

Because the Bible is inspired by God and makes us complete for every good work (II Timothy 3:16-17), we rely on it as the ultimate authority.

...that Teaches the Gospel Plan of Salvation.

When Peter preached the Gospel on Pentecost 33 AD, those believers who repented and were baptized for the remission of sins were added by the Lord to His church (see Acts 2:38-41, 47).  This was no temporary measure, but it is Christ’s plan for the salvation of men today, as well as in the first century.

...that Focuses On Worship.

Our Services are conducted in a simple, spiritual way following only the New Testament pattern.  We encourage people today to look for spiritual edification and enlightenment, rather than entertainment.

...that Invites Investigation.

We have no loyalty to creeds or traditions, and welcome the help of any who can show us how to follow Christ more closely.

We hope you visit us soon and often!
