Who We Are
We are a non-denominational New Testament church, seeking to know and follow Jesus Christ and His word. |
The Pine Valley church of Christ is a non-denominational, independent congregation of Christians who seek simple, Biblical Christianity. We seek to follow Jesus as Lord, the Messiah of the Old Testament and the Savior of the world.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that in Him the fullness of deity dwells (Colossians 2:9). Even as the Roman soldiers who crucified Him came to realize, “Truly, this was the Son of God,” (Matthew 27:54).
We believe that the Bible is the inspired (God-breathed) word of God and that following Jesus through following His book will create peace, reconciliation, and simple, New Testament Christianity. The Bible only will create Christians only, without denominational division and without man-made innovations. |

INTRODUCTION
The Pine Valley church of Christ is a non-denominational, independent congregation of Christians who seek simple, Biblical Christianity. We seek to follow Jesus as Lord, the Messiah of the Old Testament and the Savior of the world.
We are a family of brothers and sisters in Christ who seek to be forgiven and to forgive. In our family, Jesus is the focus, the goal, and the methodology of living life. Accepting Him as the Lord of daily life, as well as eternity, gives us direction, hope, and joy. (Read John 15:11.)
We seek to speak where the Bible speaks and remain silent where the Bible is silent. We seek to do Bible things in Bible ways and call Bible things by Bible names. In so doing we seek ultimately endeavor to follow Jesus without man-made doctrines, books and rules.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and that following Jesus through following His book will create peace, reconciliation, and simple, New Testament Christianity. The Bible only will create Christians only, without denominational division and without man-made innovations.
We believe that a careful study of the Bible, along with history, archeology, chemistry, astronomy, physics, biology, and genetics will show that the Bible is true, Jehovah is God, and Jesus is His only begotten Son, the Messiah.
Jesus established His church in 33 AD on the day of Pentecost, 50 days after the Passover. It is His church, bought with His blood and we refer to the church with scriptural terms, the “churches of Christ” (Romans 16:16); the “church of God” (I Corinthians 1:2). God never gave His church an actual name, but we see in scripture that the phrases used to refer to His church show His ownership of it. The term “church of Christ” is not our name, but a description of His ownership. God teaches us not to name churches after the names of men (I Corinthians 1:10-12; 3:1-7).
Our members come from many different religious backgrounds who have rallied around the concept of simple, non-denominational Christianity. We have no local, state, national or international headquarters. We are self-governed according to I Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:1-9. Remember, we seek to do Bible things in Bible ways. The Bible never speaks of archbishops, cardinals nor any other church leader above the local elder (or bishop). Our church family seeks to follow that biblical pattern.
Come join us in lifting up Jesus to a world in need of His love.
