What Kind of a Church is This?

This is a congregation of sinners "saved by grace".  We range the spectrum from
"superior" to "failing" in our faith, spiritually, personal witness, and stewardship of
life.  We are a fellowship of the imperfect growing, we trust, from one level of
maturity up to the next, and never content with any life of attainment.  We teach the
unity of Christians comes through common devotion and obedience to the Lord
Jesus Christ.  The New Testament, the record of God's self-revelation in His Son, is
our only rule of discipline, doctrine, and devotion.  We lay no claim to being the only
Christians, but we are happy to be Christians "only".  We try to remind each other
frequently of the evils of sectarianism, exclusivism, and pharisaism.
This is Christ's church.  It is not a "Disciple church" nor is it an "independent
church".  We are not chained, fettered, bridled, governed, or muzzled by any party
of agency.  We rejoice in our Christian status as free men and women.  We are free
to love our enemies, our antagonists, lampooning liberals, and cantankerous
conservatives.  This church is dismayed by the division which keeps brothers split
and the world lost.  And we repent for our part in that shameful strangulation and
recrucifixion of the Lord Jesus.
All who accept Jesus Christ and obey Him will find here an open heart, an open
Bible, an open Communion table, an open baptistry:  pacifists, pietists, seekers,
doubters, capitalists, debtors, laborers, professionals, and other sinners.
By God's grace, this is a free church - a church of Christ.

Mark 16: 15,16

repentance?  Romans 2:4; II Cor. 7:10; Luke 15: 17-20.

You must
CONFESS your faith in Jesus Christ:  Matt. 10:32,33;  Acts 8:36,37;
