About us

Ever look around your neighborhood and wonder why there are so many different churches? God didn’t intend for you to have to choose what “kind” of church you should attend. He didn’t want us to wear a label like “Baptist” or “Presbyterian” or even “Catholic.” God wanted one church, based on His Word and the salvation offered through His Son.

Man is the one who made things so difficult. Over 120 years ago, many prominent Christians decided that it was time to base their beliefs on God’s Word rather than the teachings and personal opinions of Men. They began to work towards restoring the Church to what God originally intended in the Bible. This is an ongoing work of Christian unity that the Smyrna Church of Christ continues today.

We aren’t saying we are the only Christians, we just want to be Christians only.

There is One who has been here from the beginning. He is eternal. He is unchanging. He always keeps His promises. There is one God, who exists in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is this awesome, almighty God that wants a relationship with you. That was His whole purpose for sending Jesus to earth and giving us His Word.

People. Tall, short, big, little, unique, imperfect, many times sinful. The Church is people. But the Church is more than a club or a lodge. Its members are bound together by more than a man-made oath or a membership fee. The Church is made up of God’s people. People who have been cleansed by the blood of Christ and relieved of a burden that they could not bear on their own.

God’s people are united in Christ. They all have an equal inheritance in Christ’s Kingdom, regardless of race, sex, or social status. And they anxiously await His return.

We start out as innocent children. No stress, no worry, no business meetings, no taxes. Our entire life is handled for us by our parents. We are able to learn, grow, and experience life while they bear burdens that we are mentally and physically unable to handle. Life is good. God offers us this kind of life again. He can carry the burdens of life that we are unable to handle on our own. God’s care for us continues even after this life. He knows what we have done wrong, and he offers forgiveness and a chance to live with Him forever.
