We strive to be a unique fellowship of loving and caring people involved in the Father's business. We dream of a day when it will again be possible to be free from religious division and again be known simply as The Church of our Lord Jesus Christ! The early church was referred to as "the sect everywhere spoken against." Why? Spoken against by the world because it was not of the world, but as a light it condemned the world. Spoken against by the leaders and the traditional religion because it was loyal to Jesus rather than to them.

Under Jesus' Lordship that little band of believers overcame an awesome, but wicked empire; and they also overcame a distorted, powerful, unyielding traditional religion of their fathers. They went everywhere preaching the Word!

We're determined to go back beyond the widespread sectarianism of today and let the Bible be our perfect pattern to restore in our day the church of Jesus Christ. We hope this will lead you to want to know us better and that you will come and see for yourself.

We would like very much to meet you and to be of serevice where possible! Why not bring the whole family?

We'd like nothing better than for folks to recognize us as non-denominational! We want to be known simply as Christians, just ordinary diciples of Jesus Christ. As in all things we seek to retain the divine language of the Bible, therefore for identification in a divided religious world we use church of Christ.

Our voluntary fellowship is not limited to any generation, race or nation. We want so much to duplicate the church that Jesus established in the first century. The church of Christ worldwide is a body of people drawn together by a common faith in Jesus Christ for worship and ministering.  Individually and collectively we seek to follow in the footsteps of Jesus to glorify God and to bless the lives of men.  We seek to be zealous, but to avoid fanaticism.

Our work is financed by the voluntary giving of our members, believing that God's plan is not to raise money, but to raise men! We oppose only that which keeps men and women from being what God wants for each! We're determined to have Jesus as Lord! Respecting His Lordship we reject anything that is added to or taken away from His teachings. We encourage each person to "examine the Scriptures daily to see if what they're being taught is so."

We are sad about all the cults that have hurt the cause of Jesus so much, and we grieve at the confused state of what used to be Christianity. This convinces us even more that Jesus is Lord only to the degree that we demand a "thus says the Lord" for what we do and teach.

We have no denominational affiliation or earthly headquarters. We automatically have unity and fellowship with all who accept and practice Jesus and the Apostles' teaching. We observe the Lord's Supper each Sunday, according to Apostolic precedent.

Our music is the praise of our lips without mechanical accompaniment as was church worship during the first six centuries of Christianity. Our prayers are heartfelt and spontaneous.

Church membership and salvation together are dependent upon an obedient faith in Jesus Christ as God's Son. This means our faith leads us to repent of our sins and to be baptized into Jesus Christ by immersion for the remission of our sins. Such obedience is proof that faith is real and constitutes the human part of the new birth, with God cleansing from sin and adding that part of the new birth, and adding that person to His church.
