About the church of Christ

An Introduction to the church of Christ

World wide there are some 17000 congregations of the church of Christ with close to 2 million members. There are small churches with just a few members and large ones with thousands. There are congregations in every state and in 109 other countries.

What makes us unique

Members of the churches of Christ are a people of restoration spirit. That means we want to restore in our day the ideal of the New Testament church. In the latter part of the 1800's men of different denominations, studying independently of one another, began to ask: "Why not take the Bible alone and once more "continue steadfastly in the apostles teaching..."? They pleaded with everyone to throw off denominationalism, to get rid of human creeds, and to only teach and follow the Bible. From that start came the church of Christ in the United States.

Mission Work

Chile, Venezuela, Brazil, Nigeria, Cameroon, Honduras are all places we are actively sharing the gospel of Jesus. And we are always looking at new opportunities to take the gospel into all the world
