What Is "The Lord's Church?"
The church of Christ are Christians striving to follow God's will in worship, in teaching, and in daily life. We have no creed book, no doctrines (other than the bible), and no earthly headquarters. Our congregations are autonomous, meaning they are self-governed by their own elders. We believe that Christ is the head of the church and that we are the body of Christ (Eph 1:22-23). We also believe that we must follow what God says to do in order to become Christians and live a Christian life (John 12:48, II John 9). Our plea is to strive to do our best to please God by obeying what the bible says.

"Denominationalism"
We Are Not A Denomination: The church of Christ is not a denomination. We are not Catholic, Protestant or Jewish. We are simply Christians. We are members of the church you read about in the New Testament, established in the first century. The term "church of Christ" is not a denominational designation, but rather it serves as a descriptive term indicating that the church belongs to Christ and we are His followers. It is our conviction that only Christ has the authority to say what the church is and what we should teach (Matthew 28:18).

Since only the New Testament sets forth Christ's teachings, it alone must serve as the basis for all religious practice and teaching. In the first chapter of I Corinthians the apostle Paul begged those who were divided to unite in Christ. We believe that religious unity can be achieved and that the only way to achieve this unity is for all to return to the Bible.

We believe that to subscribe to any creed or doctrine other than the New Testament, to refuse to obey the instruction and principles of the New Testament, or to follow any practice not supported by the teachings found in the New Testament is to add or to take away from the teachings of God. Any additions or deletions are condemned in the Bible (Galatians 1:6-9 and Revelation 22:18-19). We simply strive to do Bible things in Bible ways and to call Bible things by Bible names: nothing more or nothing less.
