Restoring the New Testament Church

In Practice

NRCC is a part of an historic movement of the Independent Christian Churches and Instrumental Churches of Christ, which currently numbers over 5,000 congregations with well over 1,000,000 member's nation wide. The Restoration Movement came about as a result of what is known as the Cane Ridge Revival of the 1840's.

We are dedicated to the restoration of the New Testament church as it was originally designed and implemented as seen in the Book of Acts. In our effort to reconstruct the New Testament body of Christ, we have committed ourselves to several foundational principles.

1. We know that we are not the only Christians, but wish to be known as Christians only.
2. We accept the Bible as the inspired Word of God, without error in its original text and useful for giving wise direction in all of life's situations.
3. We strive to develop the reunion of the unity of all true believers in Jesus Christ. [John 17]
4. We celebrate the Lord's Supper on a weekly basis, as did the early church [Acts 20:7]
5. We follow the specific commands of Jesus [Matt. 28:19], the Holy Spirit [John 16:12-15, Acts 2:38], and the Apostles [Acts 10:47-48] to baptize by immersion for forgiveness of sin and identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. [Romans 6:1-4].
