Title
Central Church of Christ, Clearwater, Florida
Description
"There is one body, one spirit, just as you are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, through all, and in you all."
The word "church" means the "called out ones." The church is composed of those who have been "called out" of the world by the gospel to Christ, 2 Thess. 2:14. Thus, these "called out ones" are simply Christians trying to be just what the followers of Christ were in New Testament times, 1 Thess. 1:5,6.
In New Testament times each local congregation of God's people was a church of Christ. For example, there was a church of Christ at Philippi, a church of Christ at Corinth, a church of Christ at Jerusalem, etc. For more study, examine the following verses: Philippians 1:1, 1 Corinthians 1:2, Acts 8:1 and Romans 16:16
