About Sanford

 Who we are 

The Sanford Church of Christ includes people from every walk in life.  We have one thing in common and that is our Father.  That makes us a family.  A family of diversity with one common bond; believing that Jesus Christ is God's son, the Savior of the world.  We believe that Jesus Christ is the sole source of salvation for all people.  We also firmly believe that the Bible is God's inspired message for all lives. 

Our congregation is based on the purpose of bringing God glory through worship, sharing His salvation with others, and offering people a home where they can find acceptance, love and encouragement through a Christian community. 

We are Christians only.  We are non-denominational and have no church organization other than independent congregations such as we are at Sanford. 

Churches of Christ desire to worship and practice our faith with the simplicity and sincerity of the church that is described in the New Testament. 

We base our beliefs and activities directly on the authority of the Bible.  We strive to follow the practices of the church in the New Testament and teachings of the Bible without adding human traditions or creeds.  This is the reason you see no special religious symbols in our building or creeds in our worship. 

Although we understand that our worship and the way we carry out activities are also shaped by habits and traditions, we make every effort to ensure that they are based on clear Biblical teaching. 

Because every congregation of the Church of Christ is independent, you may see some variations in finer points of teaching and worship.  All that we do is directed by our acceptance of the Lord’s guidance found in His word.
