Burlington Christian Church
We are an independent, non-denominational Christian Church. We are followers of Jesus the Christ (the Savior of the world)! We believe the Word of God to be the inspired and infallible breath of God for us as believers. We follow the pattern of the New Testament Church as we see it in the book of Acts and we believe that the Old Testament is useful and profitable as it supports and gives clarity to the truths and writings of the Apostles. We love all of the Law, the Prophets and the writings of the Apostles, we simply follow the pattern of the NT church as we see it in book of Acts.
Beliefs
We are a church of Christians that follow the teaching of Jesus laid out for us in the New Testament. Our hope is to hold closely to, and follow the pattern of the New Testament Church as we see it in the bible. We believe that the bible teaches baptism of believers by immersion and we observe of the Lord’s Supper on the first day of each week. We seek to reach the souls of sinful people following closely to the teachings taught by Jesus Christ and His Apostles. In our efforts to restore the Church to its original form and purposes, we use no guide but the New Testament and no authority but Jesus Christ.
History
The congregation began meeting in the Spring of 1971, first in homes, then in the community room at Holly Hill Mall. The Church property at the corner of Trails Two and Four was purchased in early 1972 with the first full time minister being called that year. The first Deacons were ordained in December of 1974 and the first Elders in June of 1985.
