A Ca****la singing is the only form of music used in our worship. We only practice immersion baptism. We do not identify with being a denomination because we are simply members of the "church of Christ". We believe the only way to achieve unity is to return to the Bible. The Churches of Christ plead for unity based upon the Bible. (John 17) (1 Corinthians 1)
We follow the New Testament in the Ho
ly Bible without any modifications. Additions to and subtractions from the Bible are condemned. (Galatians 1:6-9) (Revelation 22: 18, 19) This is the reason the New Testament is the only rule of faith and practice we have in the churches of Christ. Simply stated, this is because we are seeking to worship according to the instructions of the New Testament. The New Testament leaves instrumental music out. Therefore we believe that it is right and safe to leave it out, too. The following are the verses in the New Testament that are on the subject of music. (1 Corinthians 14:15) (Matthew 26:30) (Acts 16:25) (Romans 15:9) (Ephesians 5:18, 19) (Colossians 3:16) (Hebrews 2:12) (James 5:13)
Weekly observance of the Lord's Supper. (Acts 20:7) (1 Corinthians 10:16) (1 Corinthians 11: 24, 25) (Exodus 20:8)
Emphasis on immersion baptism. We emphasize baptism as a commandment of Christ as it is essential to salvation. The only form of baptism that we practice in the churches of Christ is immersion. The Greek word baptize means "to dip, to immerse, to submerge, to plunge". The scriptures always point to baptism as a burial. (John 3:5) (Mark 16:16) (Acts 8: 35-39) (Acts 2:38) (Acts 22: 16)
God has a simple plan for salvation. Hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized, and remain faithful until death. (Romans 10:17) (John 8:24) (Matthew 10:32) (Acts 2:38) (Revelation 2:10)
Because Christ died for the sins of the whole world, the invitation to share his saving grace is open to everyone. (Acts 10:34, 35) (Revelation 22:17)
Wherever you are at this moment, we hope that you will decide to accept the salvation offered by Christ and become a member of his Church. Please be our guest at the St Rt 38 Church of Christ. We meet Sunday mornings for Bible study, Bible classes, and worship. We also meet Sunday and Wednesday evenings for worship. We hope to study with you soon!
