In the first century A.D. Jesus Christ built His church made up of His people. The New Testament teaches us that Jesus left Heaven, came down to Earth and was slain and resurrected,so that we can die, leave Earth and go to live with Him in Heaven forever. We have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God and the wages of sin is death. Jesus came here andsuffered the penalty we should have so we could be forgiven of our sins and have the hope of eternal life. |
Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. The New Testament scriptures teach us how the first century Christians lived and worshipped God. Using only the word of God,adding nothing to, nor taking anything away, we can learn how the faithful first century Christians lived acceptable lives before God. By patterning our lives and worship after the approved examples we read of in the New Testament we can be assured that we are living a pleasing life before God. |
We at the church of Christ at Granby strive to be the same as the first century church of Christ. The Bible teaches us the doctrines and worship of men are vain and that we must seek God's righteousness instead of our own. Our worship must be in spirit and in truth. We wear no manmade names, we teach no manmade doctrines, we participate in no manmade worship, striving to glorify God in both name and deed through diligent obedience to His will. We know that if we seek Biblical authority for all that we practice, believing what the first Christians believed, living how they lived, teaching only what they taught, and worshipping God how they worshipped, we can be today just what they were then; Christians only. |
We share a great joy in our hope in Jesus Christ and it is our sincere desire to share this joy with everyone. All are invited to come join our family in Christ and learn more of the New Testament church of Christ. |
