What is Church of Christ?

There are many denominational churches in New York. Among the many churches, what is different about the New York Church of Christ?

First, the name Church of Christ is different.

The name of the church is biblical. It means the Lord's Church in New York. Names are very important as they indicate ownership and personality. Because it belongs to Christ, it is marked as belonging to Christ (Matthew 16:18, Romans 16:16).

Second, it is a church that clearly presents the method of salvation.

To be saved, you must first hear the gospel, believe, repent, and confess, be baptized in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and keep your faith to the end and bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38). , Romans 10:10, Galatians 5:22-23).

Third, we worship according to the teachings of the Bible (Acts 2:42, Colossians 3:16).

Every Sunday, we celebrate the Lord's Supper and worship based on the New Testament, focusing on the Word, prayer, praise, and donations. This is the worship in spirit and truth that Jesus taught (John 4:24).

Fourth, we have a biblical church organization.

With Christ as the head of the church (Ephesians 5:23), each church is autonomous. Brothers and sisters fellowship in love, and within the church there are evangelists, shepherds, and teachers. The shepherd governs the church in the same sense as a bishop or elder (Ephesians 4:11).

Fifth, we regard the words of the New Testament as the highest authority.

We do not establish any doctrine, constitution, or manual other than the Bible (John 20:31, 2 Timothy 3:16). What the Bible says, it says, and what it doesn't say, it doesn't say (Revelation 22:18-19).

The New York Church of Christ is a group of members called as one body for worship, praise, mission, and relief with the same faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Our faith is based on two great truths. Jesus Christ is our Lord. He is the Savior, and the Bible is the only authoritative word written under the inspiration of God.

We have the privilege of sharing God's message of salvation for those who seek His will. Simply put, faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ (Hebrews 11:6), repentance of their sins (Luke 24:45-47), confession of Jesus Christ as my Lord and God, and baptism for the forgiveness of sins. By receiving it (Acts 22:14-16), you can become a saint of the New Testament church.Our worship service is simple and warm based on the New Testament, preparing each person to stand spiritually before the Lord.
