During Jesus' earthly ministry He provided the perfect example of how we should live our lives, both through His words and actions. After his death, the Apostles were given then responsiblity to continue sharing the soul saving gospel message of Christ with the world (Acts 1:7-8) and on the Day of Pentacost, they established the Lord's church (Acts 2:1-38). Our mission is to be the modern day church that Jesus established some 2000 years ago. We are committed to simply following God's word, the Bibile, nothing more and nothing less.
The Church of Christ is an undenomination gathering of Christians whose main purpose is the restoration and propagation of pure, simple New Testament Christianity. We recognize that the church which belongs to the Lord may be called or described by any of its names or descriptions found in the Bible, but most use the term found in Romans 16:16 ("The churches of Christ salute you.") because it gives glory to the one one who purchased the church with His own blood, and looks to the church as his bride (Acts 20:28, Ephesians 5:22-33).
As Christians, we desire the unity of all believers, just as the Lord also desires (John 17:11, 20-23), and the apostles preached (I Corinthians 1:10). Christian unity is not possible as long as men cling to denominations, creeds, and practices. It is our earnest plea that all who serve Christ would leave behind the traditions of men and seek to be simply Christians. Further, we belive that God has spoken to man-kind; the Bible is God's word to all humanity. The Bible is the infallible, unalterable, complete, and inspired authoritative message to mankind from God, and must be adhered to in order to be saved.
Outside of jesus, all acountable humanity is in sin, and therefore lost and separated from God (Romans 3:23, Isaiah 59:1-2). Anyone who dies while yet in his sins is destined for eternal punishment in hell (Luke 12:5, II Peter 2:1-9). This sad fact doesn't have to be, however, because God sent His Son Jesus into the world to die for you and me that we may be saved (John 3:16). Jesus commands that we believe in Him (John 8:24), that we confess this faith before others (Matthew 10:32), that we repent (or turn away) of our sins (Luke 13:2-5), and that any who would be saved must be baptized (Mark 16:16) for the remission (forgiveness) of sins (Acts 2:38). The baptized believer then must simply live a faithful life before God (Revelation 2:10, Hebrews 10:25) in order to receive the reward on judgment day (Matthew 25:31-46).
