CHURCH OF CHRIST
The Church of Christ is a non-denominational church, governed only by God's word.
We identify ourselves as the "church of Christ" because that is one of
the names used to identify the church that we read about in the Bible.
("The churches of Christ salute you." Romans 16:16)
The Bible teaches that Jesus intended to build (establish) one
church: "...I will build My church..." Matthew 16:18
He died to save His church: "Christ also loved the church
and gave Himself for her". Ephesians 5:25
Many denominational churches have developed over the years, establishing
man-made teachings and traditions not found in the Bible, even
glorifying the "founder" of their particular church.
If a teaching or practice cannot be found in the Bible, we do not want to practice or
teach it either. By following this simple aim, we can be the same church we read about in the pages of the New Testament.
