The churches of Christ
Who are we? People who aim to solely identify as Christians typically belong to the "church of Christ," a term used to express their allegiance to Christ's church, not in a sectarian manner. The Bible references different names for this church, such as "the church of God (1 Corinthians 1:2)," "the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27)," or "the household of God/Faith (Galatians 6:10)," highlighting its relationship with Christ and the Father.
Individually, followers of Christ are referred to as "Christians" in the Bible. The term was first used in Antioch (Acts 11:26) and is meant to be honored without any human affiliation. The apostle Paul emphasized the importance of being called Christians and not associating the name with any human figure like himself. The essence of the gospel is to make believers solely Christians.

Worship
When attending our Sunday services, you will encounter a straightforward worship gathering that follows the principles of the New Testament. As we come together every Lord’s Day (Acts 20:7, Revelation 1:10), which is Sunday, we unite in worship to honor God by...

Preaching
Empower
Growth
The Bible teaches that knowing God’s word teaching is a crucial part of worship, and that we should preach and teach the word of God faithfully and accurately (2 Timothy 4:2; 3:16-17). The Bible teaches that it should be done for the purpose of edifying, instructing, rebuking and exhorting one another in righteousness

Singing
The Bible teaches that singing is an important part of worship, and that we should sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with grace in their hearts to the Lord (Colossians 3:16).The Bible teaches that Christians should sing without musical instruments, as this is the way the early church sang (Ephesians 5:19; 1 Corinthians 14:15)

The Lord's Supper
The first Christians observed the Lord’s supper, the communion of the body (the bread), and the blood (fruit of the vine) of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:16) during the worship service. The Bible teaches that this is to be observed every first day of the week as a proclamation for Jesus' death and hope that is found in His return (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

Giving
The Bible teaches that giving is an expression of worship, and that it should be done voluntarily and with consideration of our prospering on the first day of every week (Philippians 4:14-20; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2).

Prayer
The Bible teaches that prayer is not only an expression of worship but also a relationship building element of our walk with God (Philippians 4:6,7; 1 Timothy 2:1-4; 1 Thessalonians 5:16)
