Hear is the answer to your question.

The Church of Christ is composed of people who accept Christ as the Son of God and Lord of Life -- who strive to follow His commandments and honor His Word as their sufficient rule of faith and practice.

The Church of Christ is not sectarian, nor is it denominational. It is the Spiritual Body of Christ, wherein dwells the Spirit of God (Romans 8:8-15)

We have no conference, convention or earthly ecclesiastical authority over us -- only Christ and His Word. We seek the unity of all believers in Christ upon the essential matters and the freedom of local congregations and individual Christians in matters of opinion.

No creed but Christ.
No name but the divine.
No book but the Bible.
No rule of faith and practice but the New Testament.
Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent.
In faith, unity; in opinions, liberty; in all things, love.

What Does the Bible Say?

Have Faith -- Christ died for our sins in expressing God's love. We must trust Him as our Savior. John3:16; Hebrews 11:6; Acts 16:31. Not faith alone. James 2:14-16.

Repent -- A change of heart and mind. Have a sorrow for our sins and decide to do God's will. Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38; I Peter 3:11; II Corinthians 7:10; Ephesians 4:23-24.

Confess Christ -- Let others know of your feelings and convictions about Christ. Matthew 10:32; I John 4:15; Romans 10:9-10; Mark 8:38.

Be Born Again -- Born into the Family of God through baptism (immersion). John 3:5; Romans 6:4-11; Acts 2:38; Colossians 2:12; Matthew 28:18-20.

Stay Spiritually Alive --

By Worship: Hebrews 10:21-25
By the Lord's Supper: Acts 2:42; 20:7
By Prayer: James 5:16; Ephesians 6:18
By Bible Study: II Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17
By Faithful Stewardship: I Corinthians 16:2
By Faithful Living: II Peter 1:5-12; Revelation 2:1

It is our deep passion to live the way God wants us to in His word. Our church is made up of people who are not perfect but are seeking God's will everyday. I hope you come and check us out and see what we are all about.

In Christ, Kenny Thomas
