Statement of Faith and Purpose
Smyrna Christian Church is a non-denominational, independent, New Testament church. Our plea is to restore in practice and in Spirit the Church revealed in the Bible. Our theme is "Speaking the Truth in Love".
We have no book but the Bible and no creed but Christ. We do not claim to be the only Christians, we just want to be Christians only. Where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent.
Although we are an independent congregation, we are in fellowship with over 5,000 other Christian Churches and Churches of Christ across America.
We believe that Jesus of Nazareth is God's only begotten Son and the only way of eternal salvation. We teach that every person who truly believes in and obeys Jesus as Lord is a Christian. We believe the Bible to be God's inspired Word and that it is His full and final revelation to man. It is our only rule of faith and practice.
"The purpose of Smyrna Christian Church is to worship God, to evangelize non-Christians, to edify Christians, to share together in genuine Christian fellowship and to meet the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of all people, beginning with those within the church."
Website Mission Statement
Beginning in the fall of 2000, the leadership of Smyrna Christian Church decided the congregation should have its own presence on the internet. The mission of the site has been consistent ever since.
- To spread the Gospel of Christ to all who visit.
- To give church members another means to fellowship and keep abreast of church activities.
- To introduce visitors to our local congregation by providing introductory information about the church.
- To be a secondary resource for Christians and non-Christians to learn about the Word of God.
