All the churches of Christ greet you.
Romans 16:16 (NIV)
We desire to adhere to the teachings of God’s word in everything we do. Since we are now under the New Testament (covenant, agreement) of Jesus Christ , the New Testament is our sole guide for faith and practice. (Hebrews 8:6-7, 13, 9:15)
We have no creeds or religious guidelines other than that provided by the New Testament. As individuals, we identify ourselves as Christians (Acts 11:26). As a congregation, we identify ourselves as the church of Christ (Romans 16:16).
Concerning God’s redemptive plan, we adhere to the New Testament teaching of hearing the Word. (scripture), believing (Mark 16:16), repenting (Acts 2:38), being baptized (immersed) (Colossians 2:11-12), rising to walk in newness of life. (Rom 6:4)
This is to emphasize our relationship to the One who died to save us from our sins (1 Peter 2:24), and who now reigns as Lord, as head over the church, which is His body (Colossians 1:18).
As members of His body, we meet on the first day of the week (Sunday) to worship God “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24), encourage and build one another up in the faith (Hebrews 10:24-25), and learn more of God’s will for our lives through Bible study (Matthew 4:4, Ephesians 5:17), as the New Testament instructs.
