Prospectus
The Churches of Christ is a group who stand on principle as Thomas Campbell asserted, "We speak words the Bible speaks and keep silent where the Bible keeps silent." We depend on the New Testament totally; we follow every teaching that the New Testament requires. The Bible is the only basis and principle of our faith.
