...That’s the question most often asked by those considering a visit to us. Well, we’re a church with average attendance on Sundays in the 500s. We are made up of people from every social level and background. You will find young couples here and elderly saints, lots of children and parents of those children. There are sinners here, too (actually all of us.) But the one thing that unites us is our love for Jesus Christ and the Bible that tells us all about Him. This is a safe and loving place. You don’t have to be perfect here. But you do have to love and follow the One who is perfect. We hope that sounds like a place worth checking out. You are welcome here anytime.
OK , but what is a “Christian” Church?
...That’s the second most asked question we get. Most people have grown up in churches that have some type of headquarters, synod, or governing convention. But in the Christian Church there is no such organization that has oversight of the churches. Each church is an autonomous congregation. That means that, as an independent, non-denominational church, each congregation controls its own money, hires its own ministers, supports its own missions, and owns its own property. That does not mean, however, we are an island unto ourselves because we work and fellowship with other Christian churches and support mission work that reaches all over the world.
“Christian Only” churches is an idea that has been catching on for more than 200 years. By the early 1800s, the Church was becoming more and more fractured into groups referred to as denominations. The Christian Church was formed as an effort to say that we are not the only Christians but we are Christians only. We are not divided by denominational names but we are simply a part of the church that was established on Pentecost in 30 A.D. That is not to mean that God works only through our church, but our emphasis is to get back to God’s original plan. The Bible alone becomes our guide as we believe it is the Word of God to mankind. We reach out to everyone, regardless of his or her economic status, race, or place in life because Christ invited everyone to come to Him.
Jesus is the head of the Church and we are His body. And one day He has promised to return and claim His own.
