What is a church of Christ?
The descriptive phrase “church of Christ” comes from the Bible. It is used by Paul in Romans 16:16 when he said, “The churches of Christ salute you.” But Paul was not intending to describe a denomination called the “Church of Christ.” He was simply describing local groups of Christians who were following Christ. Unfortunately there are churches today that are a part of a “Church of Christ” denomination. But there are others who are simply imperfect Christians trying to grow to be more like Jesus. This is all we are and all we claim to be. We intend to follow the Bible and nothing but the Bible. That ought to appeal to every person wanting to go to heaven.
