Our Commitment The commitment agreed to by the leadership of the Murfreesboro church of Christ is to submit fully to the pattern of the New Testament for our worship, fellowship, benevolence, and service. We take very seriously the responsibility to insure that only sound doctrine is taught and preached to those who attend here (Titus 2:1; 2 Tim. 4:2-4). We will do our best according to the Scriptures to insure that “all the counsel of God” will be taught and followed (Acts 20:27). We will follow the New Testament pattern regarding worship (praying, singing, giving, observing the Lord’s Supper, and preaching/teaching). We will follow the New Testament pattern regarding the boundaries of spiritual fellowship (2 John 9-11). We will not support missionary societies, such as the Churches of Christ Disaster Relief, Inc., but will follow the New Testament pattern regarding benevolence (individuals and autonomous local congregations operating individually or collectively for the good of all, to the exclusion of an entity larger than the local church –Acts 11:29-30; Gal. 6:10; Phil. 4:15-16; Jas. 1:27). We will follow the New Testament pattern as it pertains to endorsing those who teach the truth and marking those who teach error (Philippians 3:17; Romans 16:17-18; Titus 3:10-11). We will also follow the New Testament pattern regarding disciplining the erring as necessary according to the Scriptures (Hebrews 12:5-11; 2 Thess. 3:6-14). If you ever have any questions that warrant further Bible study, please let us know and we will be happy to set up a time to address those questions in light of Bible truth. We are thrilled that you have chosen to identify with us here and we look forward to serving in the kingdom together. To God be the glory!
