THE CHURCH OF CHRIST…
…welcomes you to every service and to a full investigation of what we teach, in the light of the Scriptures.

The Church of Christ occupies a unique place in the religious world. It is no part of Judaism, Catholicism, or Protestant Denominationalism. It is as distinct from these religions as they are distinct from each other. Its 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 this Grand Old Book.

We preach the same Gospel and teach the same plan of salvation based on the grace of God as taught by the apostles. 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.
  

• 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.
