The term Church of Christ may refer to:
• One of several New Testament designations for a local band of people following the teachings of Jesus, whom they believed to be the Christ; only the plural form is found in the NT (e.g., Romans 16:16)
• the entire body of Christians throughout the world, regardless of denomination or tradition, i.e. the Christian Church or Christendom
• a body of Christians who continue to use only the New Testament as the source for Christian doctrine and practice and who consider themselves to be part of the original church (in contrast to Orthodox Christianity, Catholic Christianity, or Protestant Christianity.)
• the Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholic churches (primarily used by members of these churches)
Churches of Christ are autonomous Christian congregations associated with one another through common beliefs and practices. They seek to base doctrine and practice on the Bible alone, and seek to be New Testament congregations as originally established by the authority of Christ. Historically, Churches of Christ in the United States were recognized as a distinct movement by the U.S. Religious Census of 1906.
It is primarily a plea for religious unity based upon the Bible. In a divided religious world it is believed that the Bible is the only possible common denominator upon which most, if not all, of the God-fearing people of the land can unite. This is an appeal to go back to the Bible. It is a plea to speak where the Bible speak and to remain silent where the Bible is silent in all matters that pertain to religion. It further emphasizes that in everything religious there must be a "Thus saith the Lord" for all that is done. The objective is religious unity of all believers in Christ. The basis is the New Testament. The method is the restoration of New Testament Christianity.
God became one of us through Jesus, and through his blood we have become worthy of God for He has washed our sins away. Our heavenly Father has redeemed us through the Lamb. We have been sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit of our Lord God Almighty. Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone has intricately placed each of us in a wonderful and holy temple that serves as a dwelling place of God in the Holy Spirit. Our Holy Father is worthy of your time and service in the vineyard of the Lord. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and know that He will act. Always know that you are not alone for the Angels of the Lord minister to those who are to obtain salvation.
The Lord loves you and He is with you. Who can stand against the Lord of Hosts? No one could and no one ever will. Take heart in knowing that the Great I Am is He who stands in your favor. Praise our Lord God Almighty for He is worthy.
The churches of Christ welcome you to worship the Lord with us. We are here to serve God and to assist you in your walk with the Lord. Visit the church of Christ in your community.
