Churches of Christ are autonomous, non-denominational congregations who submit only
to Christ as the head of the church and the Bible as God's authoritative Word.
WHAT DO WE BELIEVE?

• Christ was crucified for our sins, was resurrected, and ascended back to God.
• Christ commanded all Christians to evangelize.
• The Lord’s Supper is a weekly communion service with God.
• Baptism was established for the remission of sins, so that believers might be
reconciled to God, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

peace.
