Doctrine
The Church of Christ is composed of people who accept Christ as the Son of God and Lord of Life -- who strive to follow His commandments and honor His Word as their sufficient rule of faith and practice.
The Church of Christ is not sectarian, nor is it denominational. It is the Spiritual Body of Christ, wherein dwells the Spirit of God (Romans 8:8-15)
We have no conference, convention or earthly ecclesiastical authority over us -- only Christ and His Word. We seek the unity of all believers in Christ upon the essential matters and the freedom of local congregations and individual Christians in matters of opinion.
No creed but
Christ.
No name but the divine.
No book but the Bible.
No rule of faith and practice but the New Testament.
Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are
silent.
In faith, unity; in opinions, liberty; in all things, love.
