The Church of Christ was established in Jerusalem on the first Pentecost after the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Acts 2). This church has Christ as the distinctive founder (Isaiah 28:16), builder (Ephesians 2:20), head (Colossians 1:18), body (Ephesians 4:4), mission (Mark 16:15), plan of salvation (Acts 2:38), membership (Acts 2:47), worship (John 4:24), name (Acts 11:26), doctrine (Colossians 3:17), and work (1 Corinthians 15:58). The Church of Christ is the church found in the New Testament. We seek to worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).

The organization of the church consists of Christ as head (Ephesians 1:22-23); elders (Hebrews 13:17); deacons (1 Timothy 3:8-13); and evangelists who preach the word of God publicly and privately.

The Church of Christ pleads for a return to New Testament Christianity only. We strive to teach only that which is taught in the New Testament. “We ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29)
