Who We Are

The Glascow Street church of Christ is a group of believers who strive to work and worship together as a New Testament local church. It is our sincere desire to be non-denominational, to wear no other name than Christ's and desire to be known simply as Christians, members of the body of Christ. (Acts 11:26; Eph 1:22-23). Collectively we refer to ourselves as the church of Christ, the Lord's church, or some other scriptural description to identify ourselves as the saved people belonging to Christ (Eph 5:23).

We Strive To Be The Same Church Described In The New Testament

It is our purpose to be identified with the Christians of the first century. We believe this to be possible to all who will learn, believe and be guided by the plain teaching of God's word. When Jesus declared such to be "the seed of the kingdom" (Luke 8:11), He was emphasizing a known fact of nature that specific kinds of seed, when planted, will always produce after their kind. For example, wheat will produce wheat. In like manner the word of God, when planted in the hearts of honest people, and obeyed, will produce Christians just as it did in the first century - nothing more and nothing less.

We Have No Human Head

We answer to no one except Christ our Lord. He is the head of the church (Colossians 1:18). There is no human head and as was true in the first century, there is no inter-congregational organization.

The Bible Is Our Only Guide

We hold to no man-made creed. We are directed in word and deed by the Word of God and it alone. We have been given all things pertaining to life and godliness and have no need of anything else. (2 Peter 1:3) The bible is divinely inspired and infallible. (1 Corinthians 2:11-16).

Our Plea For Unity

We make a plea for unity among all who obey the gospel of Jesus Christ and it alone. Jesus prayed for unity among His Disciples. (John 17:20-21) Paul rebuked the brethren in Corinth for the divisions that were beginning to appear among them. He even went as far to say that he was thankful that he had not baptized many of them showing he wanted no part of it. (1 Cor. 1:10-15) In writing to the brethren in Ephesus, Paul admonishes them to keep the unity of the spirit. (Ephesians 4:1-6). If unity were not possible Jesus would not have prayed for it nor would Paul have condemned the divisions created by man. Division has and always will be the result of departing from the divine will of God. The cure is simple; return to the will of All-Mighty God and unity will be achieved.
