Are you looking for a church that is NOT a denomination? You've come to the right place!

Our aim is to hold the traditions of the first century church that Jesus built. We follow the pattern given by Jesus' apostles as closely as possible.

Since the beginning of the Lord's church, Christians have had to put up with misconceptions and criticisms by outsiders. It may even be that the very term "Christian" was originally intended to be derogatory (Acts 11:26), and it is clear that Christianity was initially viewed as a branch of Judaism. Jesus' apostle Paul said, "According to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets. I have hope in God ... that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men." (Acts 24:14-16) Paul belonged to "the Way," which calls to mind Jesus' statement in John 14:6, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Jesus' church is not an off-shoot of Judaism. It is the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3) and the culmination of the Jewish hope that the Messiah would one day reign in Zion. (Psalm 2; Isaiah 2; etc.) And Jesus' church is not made up of branches or sects. Each congregation is to have elders (there are three interchangeable Greek words from which we derive six English words), and those men answer to the Chief Shepherd, Jesus. (Acts 14:23; 1 Peter 5:1-4)

We are not part of any denomination. We are simply an independent congregation of Christians. There are several descriptions of Jesus' church in the Scriptures, for example, "the church of God" (1 Corinthians 1:2), "His body which is the church" (Colossians 1:24), "the household of God" (Ephesians 2:19), "a spiritual house, a holy priesthood... a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people" (1 Peter 2:5, 9), and "the church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven" (Hebrews 12:23). Jesus Christ called it "My church" (Matthew 16:18), so multiple congregations are called churches of Christ" (Romans 16:16). So we could call ourselves any and all of these phrases. For practical purposes, we have selected "church of Christ," but we have no organizational ties to any other congregation, period. We are independent in our leadership and our decision-making. It should also be noted that there are other groups by that same name, even in this county, with varied practices which we reject. So please judge us for what we are -- an independent congregation, not part of any denomination.
