About Us
Our Faith Explained
Our world has a somewhat confused idea about what the church is. The church that Jesus died to bring into existence is simply the family of God. It has nothing to do with facilities, or certain ministries, or programs of work. It is an undenominational group of believers who recognize that God has added us to His family by virtue of what Jesus did on the cross. Some of Jesus' last words on earth were when he prayed in John 17 for the unity of all believers.
The early church started out great with literally thousands of souls coming to be baptized as they accepted the message of grace through faith in Christ. The church was highly regarded by the community and God blessed them as they understood that they had a higher calling than living for themselves. Even in the New Testament, early Christians, as the believers came to be called, had a difficult time in living up to their calling. Some of them often became self-centered, easily swayed by false teachers, and prideful. Thus, it is not our aim to simply make the first century church a blueprint for today. It is our aim to use the New Testament teachings as our guide in all matters of faith. This is not to deny the guidance of God's Spirit. He will guide us into all truth as we seek to follow the scriptures.
The 92nd Street Church of Christ is a visitor-friendly congregation. You will be made to feel welcome here.
You will notice we have congregational singing without instruments, or a cappella.
We also observe communion weekly. This is a time for the Lord's church to meet at His table to remember Him. We have "open" communion, so feel free to participate with us. We have a special time of prayer and thanksgiving, followed by a Bible-based lesson. Although a collection will be taken, visitors are not expected to contribute. We also offer an invitation for anyone to make known a special need, to identify as a part of this body, or to become one of God's children by being baptized or immersed in water.
Come join us! Right now is a great time to visit!
