| FORGIVEN AND REDEEMED |
The Church of Christ is a nondenominational and independent house church, not affiliated with the fellowship known as "churches of Christ"; it is based on the restoration of first century Christian beliefs and practices. I am Reverend Phillip Durrence, pastor of this fellowship and servant of the Lord Jesus Christ; I would like to share this message with you. Mankind has sinned against the Creator, but He sent His Son Jesus Christ to REDEEM us. Jesus died on the Cross as an atonement for your sins and mine, then He arose from the dead on the third day of His death. If you believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for you and rose again, you will be born again as a child of God. One must be born again as God's child in order to be saved, because in Adam's family we die in our sins; only by being born out of that family and born again into God's family can one be saved. If you believe these things, offer a prayer to Christ accepting Him as Lord and Savior and thank Him for the salvation He has given you, letting Him know that you repent of your sins and want to live a life pleasing to Him! Write us at my personal address [email protected] and let us know of your decision so we can follow up with you and help you along your new walk with Christ! | ||||||||||||||||

The Church of Christ holds to the core tenets that the Holy Bible is the infallible Word of God and the final authority that the believer submits to, and that Jesus Christ is the only Savior of humanity. We believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three distinct Personages of like Divine Nature. We believe in the deity and humanity, virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious death, bodily resurrection and ascension, and bodily return of Jesus Christ. We believe in the deity and personage of the Holy Spirit. We believe in salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. We believe every believer is his own priest before God and that each is a minister in the Church with separation of duties. We believe in angels, Satan, heaven, hell, and the immortality of the soul. We believe in the autonomy of the local assembly. We believe evangelism of the unrighteous and edification of the righteous are the two main missions of the Church. We are a liturgical church, but simple. We are sacramental, but not work-centric.

| THE CHURCH'S MINISTRY |
We believe that the fellowship of believers in each other's physical presence in the local assembly is the way prescribed by God in the Holy Bible, especially for the administration of Sacraments. However, the Church does not consist of one assembly alone, but is the whole Body of Christ, all the redeemed of the New Testament Church age. Therefore, we do not ask our brothers and sisters around the world to cut loyalty to their congregations and gifted leaders, but as our family we do reach out to them and offer them the full extent of our ministry. We provide counseling, instruction, discipleship, devotional assistance, prayer help, and much, much more as the Holy Spirit ministers through us! We offer these same services online as offline.
