Fayetteville Church of Christ

About

We are a group of undenominational Christians who seek to go back to the Bible and follow the simple pattern of New Testament Christianity. Our worship services follow the examples of New Testament worship.

Story

It is primarily a plea for religious unity based upon the Bible. In a divided religious world it is believed that the Bible is the only possible common denominator upon which most, if not all, of the God-fearing people of the land can unite. This is an appeal to go back to the Bible. It is a plea to speak where the Bible speak and to remain silent where the Bible is silent in all matters that pertain to religion. It further emphasizes that in everything religious there must be a "Thus saith the Lord" for all that is done. The objective is religious unity of all believers in Christ. The basis is the New Testament. The method is the restoration of New Testament Christianity.

Mission

The mission of the church is evangelism (Mk. 16:15-16), edification (1 Cor. 14:4), and benevolence (Js. 1:27). The Fayetteville church of Christ family is challenged to fulfill this mission. The following goals will help us to grow as a congregation and to grow as individual Christians. Our deacons and leaders will provide supporting goals so we can all work together in serving the Lord in our community. We are truly a blessed people. The elders solicit your support as we reach out to each other and to our community with the Gospel. "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few." (Matt. 9:37)
