Who Are We?
Churches of Christ serve the Lord with commitment to His Word and mission. Our goal is to bring glory to Christ, in all things (Ephesians 3:20-21). Accordingly, we do all we can to emulate His love and life, as we walk in His steps (Ephesians 4:1).
We are all made in the image of God so we are all special and loved by God (Genesis 1:26; 1 John 4:19). Therefore, we love every person and want them to be saved. We would be delighted to have everyone to be Christians and go to heaven together.
We are a diverse congregation of friendly, dedicated people who love the Lord and want to follow Him, above everything else. We hope you will come and worship with us. You will be our honored guests.
Scripture is our only guide as a Church and as Christians. “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (Colossians 3:17). The Bible provides all we need to follow God, be saved and live in heaven forever (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Accordingly, we do not have an earthly headquarters that decides what we will believe because Scripture is sufficient. Our responsibility is to learn all we can about the Bible so we can know His will for our lives.
We strongly believe that Christ built His church and that it is the only one that exists (Matthew 16:18). If we enter this Church as Christ commands (Acts 22:16), and obey His Word, we will be His Church. Scripture can be understood and obeyed by everyone, if we will humble ourselves to His Word. His love, mercy and longsuffering is beyond our understanding. However, He gave us Scripture so we will live as He has specified (Revelation 20:12).
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Our sins are washed away when we are immersed into Him and we rise a new born child of God (John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21). This is the only way we can enter His body, the church (Galatians 3:27; Acts 2:47).
We are privileged to serve Him and wear His name because of His greatness and majesty. Faithfulness to His commands is not burdensome but a privilege. “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15).
