What We Believe The Senatobia church is God-Exalting, Christ-Centered, Gospel-Oriented, and Life-Related! The following are a few biblical principles that shape our life together. They are included in hopes they will be helpful to people who want to know us better.
1. We Aim To Have No Creed But The Bible.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God. While we acknowledge that our human tendencies get in the way, our objective is to keep coming back to Scripture to let the word of God keep shaping and reshaping our beliefs and practices. We simply want to be faithful in applying God’s will to our time and place.
2. We Believe Jesus Christ Is Man’s Only Hope
Our message is that Jesus is The Son of God. His death, burial, and resurrection is man’s only hope. We are convinced that everyone needs to find the forgiveness, friendship, life, and leadership Jesus offers. We teach His words concerning faith, change of life, baptism, and following His will.
3. We Aim To Be Non-Denominational
We seek to be a fellowship that belongs only to Christ. We do not desire that “Church of Christ” be interpreted as a denominational affiliation, but as a descriptive term, (i.e., a gathering of Christians belonging to Christ). Our goal is not to promote some sectarian form of Christianity, but merely to be faithful, obedient followers of Jesus. Becoming a member at Senatobia is not joining a “Church of Christ” denomination, but simply becoming a part of the fellowship of Christians.
4. We Are An Autonomous Fellowship Of Christians
That means that we have no organizational ties to any other local church or group. We are accountable to no one but God. There is no central headquarters, hierarchy of church government, or governing board beyond the local church. We serve under a plurality of elders (shepherds) who provide spiritual leadership as we seek to follow no one but Christ. |
