The information below will give you a short description of the congregation and her works.
You may read about it in the Bible (Romans 16:16 Salute one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.)
It has no creed but Christ, and its members are only called Christians (Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.)
It speaks where the Bible speaks, and is silent where the Bible is silent (1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.)
It Exalts Christ as the founder and only head (Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him; Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.)
It is not a denomination but simply the body of Christ (Colossians 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell; Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.
