About us…

We are Kent and Sussex church of Christ. A New Testament church made up of simply Christians. 

We call ourselves a church of Christ because we are a group of people who belong to Christ. This is one of the names the Bible uses to describe churches (Romans 16:16).

We look to the Bible as our only source of truth (2 Timothy 3:16-17). We are not part of a denomination or associate with other churches in our work. We follow no man-made creeds, traditions, bylaws, councils, or conventions. We follow what Jesus and His apostles taught (2 John 9). Our mission is the same as Christ’s: share God to the world and bring people back to Him (Matt 5:16, Luke 19:10).

Our worship is simple as found in the scriptures. It includes prayer, praising God in song, preaching from the Bible, the Lords Supper, and giving back to God. Visitors are never asked to give money - we are thankful for all our guests.

Please join us for bible study at 10 AM and worship at 11 AM on Sundays. We also have a midweek study at 7 PM on Thursdays. We have adult, children & infant classes on Sunday and adult & children classes on Thursday. Come grow with us! We want to be helpful to you on your journey toward God. 

How can we help you know Jesus?

The scriptures teach us what we must do to be saved and accept His grace and death on the cross:

• Hear the word of God (Romans 10:17, John 8:32)

• Believe in Jesus as God’s Son (Mark 16:16, John 8:24)

• Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30)

• Confess faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32)

• Be baptized into Christ for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38, Galatians 3:27)

• Remaining faithful until death (Revelation 2:10)
  
  

These are the steps or conditions God asks of us in order to be saved. We do not earn it. We are not saved by our own works or efforts - we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8). Are you ready to take the steps in faith to be right with God?  

Maybe you want to know more or have questions. That is a great place to be! Can we study the Bible with you? We can study any topic at your house, a members house, or in public. You will never regret learning what God says for yourself.

What should I expect when visiting?

Every aspect of our devotion to God can rightly be referred to as service. Worship-service, however, follows a prescribed order of specific acts laid out in God’s word, enabling us to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), and to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Him through Jesus Christ (1st Peter 2:5).

Given that, and consistent with the authority that is necessary in all that we do, you would observe us (1) partaking of the Lord’s Supper in memory of the price that was paid for our salvation: our Lord’s death on the cross (Matthew 26:26-29). You would observe us (2) singing, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord (Ephesians 5:19). You would observe us (3) praying to our heavenly Father through the name of our Lord Jesus (Colossians 3:17; Ephesians 5:20). You would observe (4) the word of God being taught (Acts 20:7). You would also observe (5) the members giving of their means in order to support the work of the church (1st Corinthians 16:2). No funds will ever be asked of those visiting with us.

What is the truth that will set you free?

Most folks are familiar with John 8:32, when Jesus states, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Jesus declares that there is a truth that will be made known that has the power to set one free. The freedom Jesus is talking about is freedom from the bondage of sin; something we must all come to appreciate if we are to turn from being a servant of sin to being servant of righteousness. But what is this truth that can be known, and that knowing it, has the power to set one free from the bondage of sin?

In the Book of Romans, chapter six, Paul speaks of their having obeyed the pattern of doctrine delivered to them (a reference to the gospel message). As a result of their obedience, they were “set free from sin” and became servants of righteousness. Their obedience had resulted in their putting to death the old man (woman) of sin, “that they should no longer be slaves of sin.” This is exactly what Jesus was speaking of in John 8:32.

What obedience had these rendered?  “Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life”  (Romans 6:3-4). These were set free from sin when they died to sin. They died to sin when they were buried with Him in baptism; when they were buried into His death.

The truth that has the power to set one free from the bondage of sin is this: Jesus died for you and you must die with Him. You die with Him when you are buried with Him in baptism.  It is in baptism that one’s sins are washed away, when one is “born of water and of the Spirit,” when one “puts on Christ.” (Acts 2:38; 22:16; John 3:5; Galatians 3:27).
