What We Believe

WHAT IS THE CHURCH OF CHRIST?
It is a church that has a biblical name (Romans 16:16). The church of Christ does not wear a human name,  but rather it wears the name of Christ. The church belongs to Jesus;  therefore it is only proper that we wear His name. It is a church built by Jesus (Matthew 16:18). Man did not establish the church, it was established by Jesus. It is a church that has Jesus as its head (Colossians 1:18). The church does not have   an earthly headquarters or any earthly head, it has only one head and that head is Jesus.  It is a church that speaks as the oracles of God (1 Peter 4:11). The church does not teach or preach man’s opinion, but rather it proclaims the doctrine of Christ. It is a church that observes New Testament worship and that worship is in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
