About Us

The churches of Christ believe in restoring New Testament Christianity by following the Bible as our sole guide in faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17). We believe in the following:

• One God who created all things and desires a relationship with us (Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:6).
• Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died for mankind’s sins, was buried, and rose again for our salvation (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; John 14:6).
• The Holy Spirit, who convicts, guides, and dwells in the faithful (Acts 2:38; Romans 8:11).
• Salvation by grace through faith, which involves hearing the gospel (Romans 10:17), believing in Christ (Mark 16:16), repenting of sin (Acts 2:38), confessing Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9-10), and being baptized (immersed) for the remission of sins (Acts 22:16).
• Obedience to the commandments of God and of His Son, which means loving Him sincerely by keeping His Word, leading to true fellowship, blessings, and eternal life (John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-5; Revelation 22:14).
• The church, as the body of Christ, is composed of baptized believers who live faithfully and worship in spirit and truth (Ephesians 4:4-6; John 4:24).
• Hope of (assurance of) eternal life for those who remain faithful until death (Revelation 2:10; Titus 1:2).

We seek to honor God and His Son in all things and invite all to examine the Scriptures with us (Acts 17:11).

At the North Main church of Christ, we worship God according to the simple, reverent pattern found in the New Testament. Our worship each Lord’s Day includes five acts:

1. Singing – We offer heartfelt praise to God through acapella singing, as the early church did (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16).
2. Praying – We lift our voices in prayer, giving thanks, seeking guidance, and interceding for others (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Acts 2:42).
3. Preaching – We proclaim God’s Word to build up and equip the church (Acts 20:7; 2 Timothy 4:2).
4. Giving – We cheerfully give as we have prospered to support the work of the church (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
5. The Lord’s Supper – Every Sunday, we remember Christ’s sacrifice by partaking of the unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

Beyond our assemblies, we also worship God in our daily living—by presenting our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to Him (Romans 12:1), walking in love (Ephesians 5:2), and doing all things to His glory (Colossians 3:17). Our goal is to live a life of continual devotion and praise to God.

We worship God because He alone is worthy of all honor, praise, and devotion. He is our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer (Revelation 4:11; Psalm 95:6). Worship is our response to His greatness, love, and mercy, shown most fully in the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).

Jesus taught that true worship must be offered “in spirit and truth” (John 4:24), and we follow the New Testament pattern to please God and not ourselves. Worship helps us draw near to Him (James 4:8), encourages the church (Hebrews 10:24-25), and prepares us for eternal fellowship with God and His Son in heaven (Revelation 22:3-5).

In all we do, we worship because “He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).

Salvation is God’s gift to all who will obey the gospel of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). The Bible clearly outlines the steps we must take to be saved and to have the hope of eternal life in Heaven:

1. HEAR the Gospel – Faith begins by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
2. BELIEVE in Jesus Christ – Believe that He is the Son of God who died for our sins and rose again (Mark 16:16; John 8:24).
3. REPENT of Sins – Turn away from sin and turn to God in obedience (Acts 2:38; Acts 17:30).
4. CONFESS Christ – Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Romans 10:9-10; Matthew 10:32).
5. Be BAPTIZED – Be immersed in water for the remission of sins and to be added to the body of Christ (Acts 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21; Galatians 3:27).

After obeying the gospel, we are called to live faithfully—walking in the light, growing in grace, and remaining steadfast until death (1 John 1:7; 2 Peter 3:18; Revelation 2:10).

How do I get to Heaven?
By obeying the gospel of Christ and living a faithful life in accordance with God’s Word (Hebrews 5:9; Matthew 7:21).

Am I saved?
You are saved if you have obeyed God’s plan of salvation from the heart and are continuing to walk faithfully with Him (Romans 6:17-18; 2 Corinthians 13:5; 1 John 5:13).
