Our Elders
“The elders who are among you I exhort, . . . Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, . . . being examples to the flock; and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away” (1 Pet 5:1-4).

Our Beliefs
While we do not follow any creed but the Bible, the following matters of faith are some we think are important to help others understand how we follow the teaching of God’s Word:
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16 NKJV.
We believe that Jesus is the Christ, that He is both God and man, John 1:1; 8:24We believe that God is one and that the Godhead is made up of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9; Matthew 3:16-17.
We believe that the Gospel is the power of God to save mankind. The Gospel is the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Christ as defined by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:1-5.
We believe that God will take vengeance out on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the Gospel. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9.
We believe that Romans 6:1-6, 17-18 teaches that one obeys the Gospel in re-enacting the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Christ, and that obeying that form of doctrine delivers us and sets us free from sin.
We believe this obedience gives us the assurance of a home in heaven as we walk in the Light of God. 1 John 1:7; 5:13
We believe that as Christians we should assemble as the Church to fellowship and to worship God. Hebrews 10:14-15, Acts 2:42
We believe that worship in Spirit and in Truth defines both our attitude and our actions. Our attitude when in worship to God is one of joyful, reverent fear, realizing God's greatness, goodness, love, and severity. God establishes what we do in worship in His word.
When we assemble together to worship we:
Pray -- 1 Timothy 2:8, Acts 2:42
Study God's Word -- Acts 20:7; 2:42
Take Communion (The Lord's Supper) -- Acts 20:7; 2:42
Give -- 2 Corinthians 9:7
Sing (a capella) -- James 5:13, Hebrews 2:12, Ephesians 5:18-20, Colossians 3:16-17
We believe that God wants you to be a part of His family. If you would like more information send your name, address, phone number, and email address to Parrish Church of Christ
