Welcome to the website of the Northampton Church of Christ. We hope that our home on the internet can be a resource for members of our congregation, area congregations, and for the Overstone Lodge-area community.
It is also our hope that we can share some of the warmth, love, and compassion that Christ has shown for us with everyone to whom we come into contact.
We will sincerely appreciate your worshipping with us. We pray that the worship will bless and encourage you. We also hope that you will want to return. Perhaps you are not in a congregation of the church of Christ.
We Believe:
1. God the Father created the earth and everything in and around it. He called what He created "good". (Gen. 1)
2. Because of sin, man was separated from God and had no hope. Because of this, through the miraculous virgin birth, God sent His Son- Jesus Christ- to die for the forgiveness of our sins so that we might have hope. (Rom. 5:8, Jn. 3:16)
3. After dying a cruel death to save all people, Jesus Christ rose on the third day, ascended into Heaven, and is now at the right hand of God. (Acts 10:40, Mark 16:19)
4. Through hearing (Rom. 10:17), belief (Jn. 3:16), repentance (Acts 2:28), confession (Rom. 10:9), and baptism (Acts 2:38) we can be saved!
5. The English word "baptize" comes originally from the Greek word "baptizo" meaning literally "to dunk".
6. The Bible is the inspired, perfect Word of God and is to be used for teaching, exhortation, and reproof. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
