Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't the Christian Church just another denomination?

No- the Christian Church is a collection of independent congregations who desire to see the restoration of the church of the New Testament. Specifically, in the Book of Acts, there were no denominational creeds that isolated and separated one body from another. They did not elevate ritual and tradition above the Word of God, neither did they isolate themselves from their brothers and sisters in Christ- especially when they disagreed.

We desire to reproduce in life, doctrine, and practice the unified church found there in God's Word. Therefore, like the Word displays, we have no formal governing body over us. We are locally governed and under the spiritual supervision of congregationally selected men (Elders) and work together to solve our problems according to God's Word and to build disciples of Jesus Christ.

Unlike denominations, we call for the unity of all followers of Christ. This was the ideal of Jesus for His church (see John 17:21). This is not a call for one church, but a call to One Name, One Purpose. This unity should not only be in spirit, but in reality. It is the Holy Spirit who leads all believers to unity. True unity in the faith is about purpose, strength and practice (see I Corinthians 1:10-13). Denominational creeds, rituals and traditions, when made a test of fellowship, have not brought this about. In Ephesians 4:1-6 Paul issues a call not for one body, but for one faith. We firmly believe that a man may be our brother without being our twin. Therefore we declare that "we are not the only Christians, but wish to be known as Christians only."
