OUR BELIEFS
The Church of Christ was founded by Jesus Christ in AD33 in the city of Jerusalem, as promised by Christ in (Matthew 16:18). The teachings of that church as recorded in (Acts 2:36-42 & 47) produced the first Christians. This teaching was then spread across the world as commanded by Jesus Christ in (Matthew 28:18-20).
We believe the Bible is the Word of God and it is without doctrinal error. It is doctrinally complete and it does not contradict itself. We believe in Jesus Christ as the only divine Savior for all of mankind. We believe that only the gospel as taught and exemplified by Jesus Christ and his apostles contains the power to save men’s souls.
Deciding to become a child of God is the greatest decision that a person can make. The Bible declares that the angels rejoice in heaven every time a soul repents (Luke 15:7). So, just how does one become saved? Are there words that must be recited? Can one just ask Jesus to come into their hearts? Upon reading the original teachings of Jesus Christ and the Apostles, as recorded in the New Testament, here is what 1st century Christians were actually taught:
Before a candidate can become a Christian, they must first observe the facts of the gospel truth by listening. This truth is the core of the Christian system of faith. Therefore, if one is not humble enough to listen, one cannot learn or gain faith and remains lost.
Candidates must then believe in Jesus Christ as the risen Savior. They must believe in His incarnation and His resurrection. They must believe in His Lordship enough to act upon the professed faith of Christ. Embracing the Lordship of Christ means believing what He said as well as believing who HE is. Until one expresses belief in what Christ taught concerning the “saved”, that individual has not surrendered to the Lordship of Christ. Thus, it is a dead faith.
The Apostle Paul proclaims that all of us are guilty of sin (Romans 3:23). In order for a candidate to be accepted by God, they must acknowledge that they have sinned in this life and are thus in need of a Savior. If one refuses to acknowledge their wrongs in life, they will remain lost.
Jesus lets all believers know that they must not be ashamed to confess Him as Lord. If we are ashamed of Him on earth, then, He will be ashamed of us at the judgement. Thus, to refuse to confess Jesus, is but to remain lost.
A candidate cannot be cleansed of his sin until immersed in water. The burial in water symbolizes the death of the old man and birth of the new. To forbid water is to forbid a soul to be saved. It is also important to remember that what a person is taught, will determine the sanctity of their baptism (Acts 19:1-3). A candidate must be sure he or she is taught the original New Testament message of Jesus Christ as taught by the Apostles.
You must keep God's commandments and always seek to be like Christ.
WHO WE ARE
OUR START
Tri-Cities Church of Christ was established on October 7, 2018 to serve Little Elm, Aubrey, Cross Roads and the surrounding areas. Several men and their families came together and realized the need for a Church of Christ seeing there was none in the immediate area.
OUR VISION
Is to be an inviting church that leads people into a growing relationship with God and others.
Core Values: Spirit-led, obedient to the Word, submissive to Christ, making disciples, loving people, serving communites, and changing lives.
OUR MISSION IS S.E.T
Serve: by helping to meet the needs of our community and reflecting the love of Jesus Christ.
We believe that one of the greatest needs is to Evangelize: sharing the good news of the gospel to all who are lost, hurting and without hope.
It is our belief that through these efforts and with the help of God; lives can be Transformed.
