Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the church of
Christ a denomination?
A: No. The churches of Christ are groups of Christians who are
trying to follow the pattern laid out in the New Testament. We
are trying to be the Lord's church, not a group that is bound by the
rules or doctrines of men.
Q: I've heard of similar groups who seem
to practice things that are different than what the Bible teaches.
Are you connected with these groups?
A: No. There are other groups with similar names, such as the
International Churches of Christ, the Church of Christ Scientist,
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons),
United Churches of Christ, etc. We are not
affiliated with these groups because of their doctrinal teachings.
Make sure that any church you attend that you compare their
teachings to those contained in the New Testament (see Galatians
1:6-10).
