We are Non-denominational and have no central headquarters or earthly leader. The head of the church is none other than Jesus Christ himself (Ephesians 1:22-23). Every congregation of the churches of Christ are fully autonomous in matters of finance and discipline, as well as evangelical efforts. We are united as Brethren through baptism for the remission of sins and an earnest desire to follow the teachings of Christ and his apostles. We believe that it is the New Testament, the inspired Word of God given to all mankind for salvation, that unites us into One Faith under Christ(Ephesians 4:3-6). We follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his holy Apostles, and not the teachings of man. We are Christians only! Ephesians 4:1-6 (NKJV) 4 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
