Welcome
Violet Ridge Church of Christ is an independent Church of Christ committed to a plea for unity among believers in Christ Jesus. The reason unity is necessary is “that they all may believe that you have sent me” (John 17:21). We follow the New Testament pattern of faith and practice as revealed in scripture without human additions, subtractions or practices. The commission given by Jesus establishes our existence: to make disciples and to teach men to observe all that our Lord commanded (Matthew 28:19, 20). Our purpose is to draw all men unto Christ Jesus who is our Savior and Lord.
To accomplish God’s will for the church, our ministry works to:
- Exalt Christ as the Son of God (Philippians 2:9-11)
- Uphold Jesus Christ as our only Savior (I Cor. 15:1-4)
- Declare Jesus as Sovereign Lord (Colossians 2:15-18)
- Proclaim the Good News gospel alone (Colossians 1:28)
- Adopt no rule of faith and practice but the Bible (I Timothy 3:16-17)
- Wear no name but the one in the Bible for followers of Christ. Christian. (Acts 11:26)
- Practice the ordinances established by Christ. One is baptized through immersion of the penitent believer (Acts 2:38)
- Weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper as a memorial of our Lord’s death and resurrection for our salvation (I Cor. 11:23-30, Acts 20:7)
- Worship in spirit and truth (John 4: 23-24)
- Foster Christian fellowship (Acts 2:42
- Equip believes to carry on a faithful minister (Ephesians 4:11-16)
- Be a family church where the God given role for each family member is outlined and lived for the glory of God and preservation of the family unit in our society (Eph. 5:21-6:4)
