Why We Believe What We Do
We strive to present the love of Jesus to you. Our goal is to teach others about Jesus and His Word.
If anything is clear today, it is the gross religious confusion in the world. Why do people choose to seek God in so many ways? How can anyone know they are right?
These questions are very serious ones. No one should consider them trivial. A long time ago God said, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 14:12) God has a prepared way. We are to find it through His Son. (Matthew 17:5) Jesus declared, “Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.” (Matthew 7:21) For this reason, we believe that the study of the Bible is to find answers to life’s most important questions.
The church of Christ is not a denomination. It is neither Catholic nor Protestant, but strives to be the church Jesus founded nearly 2000 years ago. The gospel has not changed, so we urge obedience to the same conditions of salvation. When a person obeys the gospel, that person becomes a Christian, nothing more or less. Non-denominational Christianity is all that existed in the New Testament, so we teach that today. The basis is the Bible as our only creed. All doctrines, creeds, confessions and catechisms are written by uninspired men. Seeking to restore the church of the New Testament is our goal. Therefore, we speak where the Bible speaks.
In the New Testament the Lord has provided a complete pattern for His church: the names, doctrine, organization, worship and mission. Our desire is to please God by honoring His design for the church, to love and serve one another in our community. Daring and Caring is the Lord’s way. The church is unified in its mission to reach out to the lost with the only hope of the world–Jesus! We pray that you may seek to please Him in the same way. If you are a Christian and are looking for a local church, we would invite you to work with us to bring glory to God as we worship God in spirit and truth; practice fellowship and service toward one another; teach God’s word to both the lost and saved; reach out to our community in love; and look forward to the eternal blessings in heaven.
