East Coastal Church of Christ (Visit this link)
We are a group of believers that look upon ourselves as just Christians. We are a group of Christians concerned with maintaining New Testament Christianity, in other words, like the first century New Testament Christians. We are disciples of Christ, in its truest meaning. The Church of Christ can be found through out the world.. It can be found where Christians follow ONLY the teachings of Christ, free from the traditions and teachings of men. Since all Churches of Christ are independent there is no head quarters or central organization and thus difficult to know how many congregations and members are found through the world.. However based on various listings of local congregations of the Churches of Christ they are in over 210 lands around the world.. The Bible is our source of teaching. We have great respect for the Bible, the word of God.. We follow the teachings of Christ and believe God and Christ are displeased when man changes the teachings found in the scriptures.. Therefore, we do not add too or take away things or teachings from the New Testament.. We speak where the scriptures speak and are silent where the scriptures are silent.. We want to be New Testament Christians and the New Testament Church therefore, the congregations teaching, practice, worship, organization and work is in harmony with the teachings of Christ and the Church of Christ, the Church one reads about in the New Testament. We believe in Jesus Christ as God's Son and man's savior. Salvation is possible because of God's grace and the sacrifice of Christ. One must believe in God, Christ, the Holy Spirit and God's salvation plan as it is revealed in the New Testament. One must believe, repent, be baptized for the remission of sin and live a live according to Christ, however it is still the grace of God and the sacrifice of Christ that makes man's salvation possible. We can NOT justify ourselves.
