About Our Ministry
Simply Christians
The church of Christ is a family of Christians who are striving to follow Jesus with our heads, hearts, and habits. We are not a part of any denomination. We are simply Christians, genuinely trying to be what God wants us to be.
We are not interested in “playing church,” but are attempting honestly to study God’s Word and imitate His ways. We are far from being perfect or always right but are striving to take God at his Word and simply obey Him.
We have no creed book except the Bible. We believe that the New Testament is our authority in religious matters. Therefore we strive to speak where the Bible speaks, and be silent where the Bible is silent.
We care about people! Buildings, budgets, and denominational traditions take a back seat to the great social and spiritual needs that we see in the Piedmont area for a new millennium.
Nobody can make it through this life on their own. With God’s help we are striving to strengthen families and marriages; to encourage parents and children; and to help heal broken homes and hearts.
Worship
Our worship is patterned after the church we read about in the New Testament.
Each first day of the week we gather to:
- Lift prayers of thanksgiving, petition, and praise to our great God.
- We sing songs of praise and worship with our voices to God.
- We partake of the Lord’s Supper each first day of the week, remembering the great sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross.
- We contribute of our earthly wealth to God as a sacrifice of praise.
- We listen to God’s Word taught and preached so our faith can grow.
