We are a non-denominational body of believers. Our goal is to be "Christians only." Our membership is made up of many people from many backgrounds. The common faith we have in God and His Word keeps us together as a large family.

Jesus said, "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24). We try, to the best of our ability, to follow this command. By careful study of the New Testament churches, it is revealed that items of worship observed by the first-century church were singing, praying, preaching, giving, and partaking of the Lord's supper.

One worship practice that sets the church of Christ apart from most Christian churches is a cappella singing. We worship in song in this way because of the rich history and tradition of singing in the churches of Christ. The result is a beautiful blending of all voices, seeking to praise and glorify God and encourage each other in spirit and love. It is a very unique sound, but beginning to spread more widely among other groups. Please come by on a Sunday to hear what it sounds like in worship.

Another place you may notice a difference between our church and other religious groups is the weekly observance of the Lord's supper. It is observed in memory of Christ's crucifixion. In Acts 20:7, we find "And upon the first day of the week...the disciples came together to break bread." We follow this example and honor Jesus every week by participating in this communion.

Following the lesson someone may ask for prayers of the church, or there may be a baptism. After study, prayer, and meditation, an individual may feel ready to be baptized as a means of remission of sins and salvation. (Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, John 3:5, 1 Peter 3:21). When a person is baptized in Christ for these reasons, he or she becomes a Christian and is added to the church by the Lord. No further steps are required for church membership except continued love and service to the Savior.

Since Christ died to save the whole world and the invitation to share in the saving grace is open to everyone (Acts 10:34-35, Revelation 22:17) we do not believe that anyone is predestined for salvation or condemnation. To accept or reject Christ is a matter of choice. Wherever you are at this moment, we hope you will decide to accept the love and salvation offered by Christ. We are available to you for further study or to answer your questions and we look forward to getting to know you.

May God bless you richly as you diligently seek Him. For more information from the Bible about the good news of Jesus Christ, please click on the highlighted link.
