About as:
We are a group of Christians in the Lexington area who meet together to worship God and provide help for each other. We are a non-denominational church, meaning that we are not affiliated with any other congregation. We are an independent congregation under the headship of only our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We strive to look to the Holy Scriptures of God to determine everything that we do. We try to follow the pattern of the local churches that we read about in the New Testament. Whatever they did, we have authority to do.
Whatever they did not do, we don't have the authority to do. As we read and study the New Testament, we see churches involved in three types of activities: evangelism, edification, and benevolence (see below for descriptions).
Therefore, we strive to carry out these types of actions. We do not see the New Testament church involved in activities such as social functions, recreation, entertainment, or secular education. Therefore we are not involved in those types of activities.
The mission of the Northside Church of Christ is to glorify and worship God by fulfilling His commands to teach the Gospel, strengthen each other, and provide help to needy brethren. The Bible is our only creed. We rely on it for guidance and authority.
We believe the testimony of Paul regarding the sufficiency of the Scriptures: "All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work"
