Dennis Platt, Preacher & Hannah Burkle,
Youth Minister
As our name implies, we are the Church of Christ. We claim no other name than
Jesus Christ and follow no doctrine
but the Bible, which we believe to be
God-inspired and without error.
We answer to no
authority but Christ and those leaders He has chosen to oversee His work in our
local church. We actively support Gods work through Missions and give regularly
to missionaries in many parts of the world as well as in our own state and
town.
We believe that Jesus is God's son and
gave His life as a sacrifice for our sin. He was laid in a borrowed tomb
and rose from the dead so we might have salvation through Him. He
ascended to Heaven to take His rightful place as
the King of Kings and Lord
of Lords.
We believe that those who believe in
Him and accept His sacrifice for their sin will share eternal life with Jesus
because He will one day come and take us to our heavenly home to be with Him
forever and ever.
We celebrate this new life in
Christ by being baptized by immersion into His name, which is a symbol of
burying the "old man" and being born anew. The Church is simply the fellowship
of believers who get together on a regular basis to
encourage one another and
await Jesus' return.
We fellowship in several
ways as we sing praises to God, remember His sacrifice, pray for the sick and
those who need encouragement, give as God has blessed us to support His work in
other places, and study His word so we might live lives that are more pleasing
to Him.
