Individually, Christ's followers are known as "Christians" in the Bible. "The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch" (Acts 11:26). "If a man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but, let him glory God in this name." (I Peter 4:16). Paul was one of the greatest of all Christians, but he did not want disciples to be called "Paulites" or "Paulite Christians'
(I Corinthians 1:10-17).
If you like to worship God in Spirit and in Truth, if you enjoy thinking and meditating on God's word and doing His work, if you appreciate warm, intimate, genuine brotherliness, you will enjoy attending the services of the churches of Christ
(Romans 16:16; Matthew 16:18).
Come and study God's Word, and worship with us: Our worship is simple, spirtual and orderly. It is key-noted by the words of Jesus, who said "True worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth" (John 4:23-24). As is found in the church that we read about in the New Testament, our worship procedures follow Bible examples. They are intended to draw you closer to God and provide an atmosphere of reverence, according to His will.
Because worship is participation, you are warmly encouraged to join us in each act of worship.
Preaching and teaching: The lessons are designed to instruct and encourage you in the ways of righteousness in God's Word, and to encourage obedience by all who listen. We make no claim for miraculous powers, sensationalism, or any "devine knowledge" outside of the Bible.
Prayer: The congregation is led in public prayer by one of the men in the assembly. We pray to praise and thank God for His blessings, and request His continued care over us (2 Timothy 2:1-4).
Singing: Gospel songs are sung by the entire assembly...joining together in congregational singing that teaches and admonishes everyone in attendance, while praising God in the manner He specified..."making melody in our hearts unto the Lord"
(Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16; I Corinthians 14:15; Hebrews 2:12/13:15)
Lord's Supper: As did the church we read about in the New Testament, we likewise eat and drink this "spiritual meal" every "first day of the week" (Acts 20:7). It consists of those things used by Christ as He designated them "memorials" of His body and blood
(I Corinthians 11:20-34).
Giving: We do not take up a collection every time we meet, but on "the first day of the week", as did those in the New Testament church (I Corinthians 16:1-2). As our honored guest, you are not expected to give. Financial responsibililty of the church rests upon the members.
We want to be the same church descibed in the Bible: We firmly believe this to be possible by all who will learn, believe and be guided by the plain teachings in God's Word. When "planted" in the hearts of honest people, and obeyed, it will produce Christians just like it did in the first century...just Christians ....nothing more and nothing less. Jesus taught this principal in His parable of the sower and the seed in Luke 8.
We are not a denomination: Our desire is to wear no other name than Christ's and to be known simply as Christians, members of the body of Christ (Acts 4:12; 11:26; Ephesians 1:22-23). Belonging to Christ and answering only to Him, we have no human head. Christ is the head of the church, Colossians 1:18. Therefore, congregations in different locations function independently of each other, just as they did in the New Testament.
STEP 1
YOU must hear the gospel of Christ (Romans 10:17) "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Have you heard the gospel?
STEP 2
YOU must have faith that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Without this faith it is impossible to please God! (Hebrews 11:6) Do you have faith?
STEP 3
YOU must repent of sin in your life. "Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out...(Acts 3:19). Have you repented?
STEP 4
YOU must confess Jesus Christ is the Son of God. "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God" Acts 8:37. Have you confessed Christ?
STEP 5
YOU must be baptized into Christ for forgiveness of sins. Mark 16:16; Acts 8:37, Romans 6:3-5. Have you been baptized into Christ?
YOU must do all of these (Steps 1 to 5) The meaning of these steps of salvation were certainly a part of the "many other words" Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:40).
