Welcome To The
We are a group
of people who believe that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord. We are convinced
that life can't be lived without His love, His forgiveness and His presence in
our lives. Our purpose as a church can be summed up in two simple, but profound
words: Show Jesus.
We desire to
Show Jesus our love for him through worship and praise individually and as a
church.
We want to Show
Jesus to ourselves through personal study and prayer.
We work to Show
Jesus to each other in friendship and Christian community.
We endeavor to
Show Jesus to people who do not yet know Him.
We especially
desire to Show Jesus to the people of the New York Metropolitan Area, one of
the most diverse and interesting places to live in the world. We know that God

fellowship together, you will see Jesus clearly.

people. We also firmly believe that the Bible is God's inspired message for all

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 Christian community.
We are
Christians only. We are non-denominational (not inter-denominational) and have
no church organization other than independent congregations such as we are at
LICOC. 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 churches described in the New Testament and
teaching 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.
