Christ’s Church On The River is a congregation of believers worshipping and following Jesus as Lord. We seek to be a New Testament Church following God’s Word.

Christ is the Head of the body, the church, and He is our creed - a changeless creed. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Our confession is the same as Peter’s in Matt. 16:16, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

We plead for Christian unity based on God’s Word. Our purpose is to bring men and women to faith in Christ and then to lead them on into spiritual maturity. (Matt. 28:18-20)

The Scriptures alone are our rule of faith and practice. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, correcting and training in righteousness," (2 Tim. 3:16). Since this is true we are an independent congregation, freely following the Lord’s leading.

We observe the Lord’s Supper each Sunday as the New Testament church did (Acts 20:7). We also practice the baptism of the New Testament which is the immersion in water of the new believer. This symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. (Rom. 6:4)

In answer to the greatest question anyone can ask, "What must I do to be saved?" We reply as Peter did, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)

At Christ’s Church on the River we believe that the Lord has raised us up to plant this church Up River, where there are none, and to let His light shine there.

Since we believe the Lord is coming again we exhort everyone, "So you must also be ready because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." (Matt. 24:44)
