Principles that shape our church family New World We believe in a New World As believers we live in a new world lit by resurrection and open to the Spirit of God. Our universe is open to the loving intervention of God, and we are often surprised by joy, by miracle, and by what we had once thought, and others still think, to be impossible. (Ephesians 3:14-19; The Book of Acts) More Guiding Values The Stamford Church of Christ is a multi-racial, gender-inclusive Church of Christ. We honor as our spiritual heritage those attempts that began in America early in the 19th century to restore the life and spirit of Christianity as envisioned by Jesus and his apostles. So we are a community of believers - disciples of Jesus - who have confessed their faith in him and have been baptized into him. And we take seriously His teachings and their implications for the world in which we live. From their beginnings, Churches of Christ have been "locally owned and operated". We have no denominational organization or headquarters. So there are things we do that other Churches of Christ may not, and things that other Churches of Christ may do that we do not. As the result of much study of scripture, for instance, we do not restrict roles or assign privilege or status on the basis of birth. We believe that God judges all people everywhere not by the categories of their physical births but by the maturity of their spiritual births. | |
