The church of Christ

My family and I worship with the church family in Camp Hill at the church of Christ. 

Our building is at 3204 Cumberland Blvd., Camp Hill, PA 17011.   I would love it if you could come and sit by me at services sometime.  

 You can find out more about it at this site:  http://camphillchurch.org/

I got the information below from an article, you can see the source at the bottom of the page.  It will tell you more about my congregation, and what we believe. 

"The New Testament gives a clear picture of what the church was under the leadership of the Lord’s apostles. The church’s origin was divine; it continues to be subject to the authority of Christ. Should it not be the same today — simply, the church of Christ?"

"The New Testament is the only place to which we can turn to learn about the church of Christ. We recall that the church is described as the eternal purpose of God (Eph. 3:9-11). It is obviously very important. It is necessary, therefore, that we are educated by the New Testament and not by the ideas of men.   The New Testament teaches us what the church is, and what the church should be today, according to the plan of God."

"First, the church was built and purchased by Christ (Matt. 16:18; Acts 20:28). No one has the right to start a church as a divinely approved institution (cf. 1 Cor. 1:10-13). Christ, the Son of God, is the only one qualified, and he has established his church (cf. Eph. 4:4; 1:22-23).
After religious division arose within the church at Corinth, Paul asked some probing questions. “Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?” (1 Cor. 1:13). The church belongs to Christ on the basis of these gospel truths. He died for it. He built it. He lays down requirements through which we can belong to him. The church belongs to Christ. He is the head of the church (Col. 1:18)."

"Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge -- by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith." (1 Tim. 6:20-21, NKJV)


I took all of this from an article in the Christian Courrier by Jason Jackson, (https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/1205-what-is-the-church-of-christ)
