Pine Street church of Christ

Our Conviction

The Pine Street church of Christ is one of thousands of non-denominational, independent congregations throughout the world that follow the New Testament pattern for the church in worship and doctrine, without reference to human creeds and traditions. 

We hold the Bible to be God’s inspired and inerrant word, the only source of our faith and practice.  Our objective is to restore the New Testament church in our time – to determine from the Bible what the church was like in the beginning and to simply be like that.

From the New Testament, it is our conviction that there is to be only one visible church of believers unified in the apostle's doctrine (Ephesians 4:5-6; Acts 2:42; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13). We eschew denominationalism and believe true unity can only be achieved when believers reject human creeds and submit themselves completely to the “will of the Father” revealed through the apostles’ doctrine (John 17; Matthew 7:21-23; Acts 2:41,42). Christ is the head of the church (Colossians 2:12) who reigns as King at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 12:2); as such, the worldwide church can have no earthly headquarters. Our Authority, therefore, only comes from Christ and the Holy Spirit-led apostles who wrote down his will for us in the New Testament (Ephesians 2:20-22).

For this reason, the church of Christ has no denominational affiliation. We go all the way back to the New Testament, for the blueprint of the church which Christ purchased with His blood and for which He died (Acts 20:28).
