STANDARDS OF OUR FAITH

We take the Bible as our only rule of faith and practice. (2 Tim. 3:16)

We believe the Bible is inspired, inerrant, authoritative, relevant to all
times and absolutely true.

In honor of Jesus Christ our Lord, we wear the Bible-given name for His
followers: "Christians". (Acts 11:26)

To remember Jesus' death on the cross for us, we observe the Lord's
Supper each week on the Lord's Day after the example of the early
Christians. (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 11:23-32, Acts 2:42)

We uphold the seven essentials for Christian unity among the followers
of Christ: "One body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one
baptism, one God." (Ephesians 4:4-6)

We believe that Jesus Christ, the virgin born Son of God is the only way
for man to be saved from his sins and have eternal life. (Acts 4:12,
John 14:6)

We believe that sinners are saved BY grace, THROUGH faith,
completed at the faith act of baptism. (Ephesians 2:8-10, Colossians 2:
12, Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21)

We believe that baptism "in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of sins" is an essential part of a penitent sinner's personal
obedience to the gospel of Christ, and is to be practiced by immersion
only. (Romans 6:1-5, Acts 2:38)

We believe the benefits of obeying the gospel of Christ are God's gifts
of:
Forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38, Colossians 2:12-13)
Eternal life (Romans 6:23)
Salvation (Mark 16:16)
Peace with God (Romans 5:1-2)
Added to the church by the Lord (Acts 2:47)
The Holy Spirit dwelling within our hearts (Acts 2:38, Romans 8:9-11)

We believe the churches of Christ are independent congregations,
needing no extra-congregational structure or denomination. Each
congregation is organized with Elders, Evangelists and Deacons to
provide leadership and direction for the ministry of each congregation.
(Ephesians 4:1-12, Philippians 1:2)

We believe that EVERY Christian should make EVERY effort to lead
others to faith in Jesus, to be ready for His return and the judgment to
follow. (2 Corinthians 5:10, Romans 1:16, Hebrews 9:27, 1
Thessalonians 4:13-18)
