The Blue Ridge Church of Christ is a group
of believers in Christ striving to work and worship together as
a New Testament local church. Our purpose is to provide an
environment in which Christians can grow and flourish into the
image of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:16). Additionally, we work
together in spreading the Gospel of Christ to our friends,
family, and neighbors. Our aim is that they, too, receive the
forgiveness of sins and the hope of eternal life (Acts 2:38-42). |

We proclaim the message of the crucified and risen Lord. We urge all to accept God's gift of eternal life in His Son (Romans 6:23). God's plan for salvation involves... * Repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21) * Confessing Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:10) * Being baptized into Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38) * Followed by a life of faithful service to Christ (Revelation 2:10) We understand that in order for our faith to be pleasing to God we must trust Him to the extent of obeying Him (Hebrews 5:9). It is through such faith that we become God's children. "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." (Galatians 3:26-27) Baptism, as an expression of obedient faith, is the culminating act by which God places one in a proper relationship with Jesus Christ. We would be happy to study the Bible with you concerning the wonderful gospel of Jesus Christ and how one should respond to it. | |
