Newbury Park First Christian Church

This congregation is a group of people who believe that Jesus Christ is God’s son, and who have accepted Him as Lord and Savior. We are forgiven sinners and willing servants seeking to grow in grace toward spiritual maturity. We have no creed but Jesus Christ, and the Bible is our guide. We strive to be Christians only, but recognize that we are not the only Christians. Our local fellowship is led by men and women of faith under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In matters of faith, we desire unity, in matters of opinion, we allow liberty, but in all things we seek to exhibit Christ-like love, for this is His church.

We are a Restoration church, and strive to be like the church that existed during the first century – a time before denominations, hierarchies or creeds. The Restoration Movement began in the United States in the early 1800s. The leaders of this movement wanted to move beyond the differences that separate churches into denominations. They wanted to restore the church to a single body, and pattern it after the original church described in the New Testament.

Membership in this congregation is by faith and commitment to Jesus Christ as God's Son and the Lord and Savior of one's life. This is expressed by repentance, confession, baptism.
