About Us
The Lometa Church of Christ is a group of Christians who are not a part of any denomination. We are a part of God's family united by the blood of Christ who strive to love each other and glorify God together. Our goal is to apply God's Word in our daily lives and follow the pattern for the church established in the first century.
We believe the Bible is the Word of God. Our teaching and organization come only from the Bible because it is the "implanted word which is able to save your souls" (James 1:21).
Our congregation is not part of, or subject to, any larger man-made religious organization. We are a completely autonomous congregation. We are locally governed, just as the church in the first century was.
We are blessed to be led by a plurality of elders. Just as the Bible provides organization through qualified elders (1 Timothy 3; Titus 1) and deacons (1 Timothy 3), our congregation is organized according to the Biblical pattern.

How To Become a Member of the Lord's Church
On the day of Pentecost following Jesus’ resurrection, people who repented and were baptized were saved (Acts 2:38) and the saved were added to the church (Acts 2:47). These saved people were members of the body, or church (Colossians 1:18).
To become a Christian, one must:
- Hear the gospel (Romans 10:17)
- Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God (John 8:24, 58)
- Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, 5)
- Confess Jesus as Lord (Matthew 10:32, Romans 10:9)
- Be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38)
