Doctrinal overview of churches of Christ

This is an undenominational church in fellowship with churches of Christ throughout the world. We believe the Bible to be the word of God and that the New Testament provides a perfect pattern for the faith and practice of the church.

Here are some things we believe:

• The Scriptures are the verbally inspired word of God.

• Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and was resurrected from the grave.

• Salvation is by grace through faith in keeping with Bible instructions, which include faith, repentance, confession of faith, and baptism.

• The church is the body of Christ. It has no earthly headquarters; Christ is the head.

• Christians should live a pure lifestyle, shunning moral perversion and upholding decency and integrity.

• Worship should be according to New Testament teaching, without unauthorized innovations.

• The Bible affirms the second coming of Christ, the end of the world, judgment, and eternity in heaven or hell.
