History
The church was established in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost after Jesus Christ was resurrected. (Acts 2:40-42)
The remainder of the book of Acts describes how congregations of the church spread to cities throughout the world.
Our congregation in Newport, TN began in 1943 and currently worships at our location at 245 Woodlawn Ave.
What We Believe
We have a deep love for God and a sincere care for all people. Love is the mark of true followers of Jesus Christ and the foundation of Christian service. (Jn 13:33–34; 1 Cor 13:1–8)
We embrace Biblical New Testament Christianity, which can unite all Christians as one Body in Christ.
(1 Cor 1:10; Eph 4:4–6)
We believe the Bible is the only guide for our faith and actions. It is the foundation for everything we teach and do.
(2 Tim 3:16–17; 1 Peter 4:11; Col 3:17; Rev 22:18–19)
We believe salvation is found in obedience to the gospel through faith in Jesus, repenting of sins, confession, baptism into Christ, and remaining faithful. (Jn 3:16; Mk 16:16; Acts 2:38; Rom 10:9–10; Rev 2:10)
Worship And Work
Each Sunday, we gather to fellowship, study the Holy Bible, share the Lord’s Supper, sing without instruments, and give cheerfully. (Eph 5:9; 1 Cor 16:2; Acts 20:7)
We strive to carryout the threefold mission of Christ’s church each day by sharing the message of Jesus, supporting each other in faith, and serving others with love. (Mk 16:15–16; Rom 14:19; James 1:27)
