ST ELMO CHURCH OF CHRIST
ST ELMO CHURCH OF CHRIST | Chattanooga, TN
At St. Elmo Church of Christ, we strive to be the same church as our early predecessors of the 1st century described in the New Testament. We are simply Christians and not any type of denominational group. Every congregation of the church of Christ is completely autonomous and rests upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Christ Jesus is the cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20), and He is the one and only “head” of His church.
His church is the “body” over which He is “head” (Ephesians 1:22-23). This means that the church is to be incomplete subjection to the will of Christ, presented in the pages of inspired New Testament scripture (II Timothy 3:16-17).
A serious burden of responsibility is laid upon the elders, evangelists, and members of every local congregation to be certain that our beliefs and behaviors are correct. We analyze our faith carefully, we study the Bible thoroughly, and we reject false doctrines and traditions which contradict the teachings of Jesus and His apostles (Matthew 7:21; II Thessalonians 2:15). If being a member of the 1st original church that Christ died to begin in the 1st century sounds appealing to you, we pray you will check into it further by attending our worship services and Bible studies to see for yourself if we are truly preaching God’s Word.
