Welcome to Barberton Church of Christ Church
The Worship Is Simple And Devout
Since our purpose is to be governed in all things by the bible alone, our worship consists only of those elements which were part of the worship of the early church. We sing and pray, partake of the Lord's Supper, preach Gods word for our instruction, and give of our means. We seek to maintain the attitude Christ enjoined when he said "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:24)
Our singing, to many visitors the most inspirational part of the worship, deserves a special word. Since the New Testament instructs Christians to sing in worship ("speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;" Ephesians 5:19), we encourage everyone to sing. Yet, in the bible we find no authority for the use of instruments of music in the worship of the church. Our visitors are often astonished at how beautiful and spiritually stirring it is when, unhindered by instrumental music, all sing, giving praise to God.
The People Are Christians Only
The confusion of the religious worlds today is far different from the unity enjoyed by the early Christians, before traditionalism and distinctive names divided men. Believing such loyalties to be contrary to the Scriptures, we have no sectarian organization or name, doctrine, or creed. Our authority is the divine authority vested only in the inspired Scriptures. Thus, following the teachings of Christ and his apostles, we are simply Christians-just as were the disciples of the first century. It is the only name by which we are known. The preaching and teaching are bible preaching and teaching since the scriptures are sufficient for our every need ("All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16, 17)
