We are Christians, without denominational names, traditions or practices. We held our first service in Polis in November 2005 and have been meeting here ever since. We believe in the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God, and try to follow it as our only authority in spiritual matters. We believe that the Bible contains all that a Christian is to believe – 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

The Authority of Jesus Christ

We accept Jesus as Lord and respect His authority. Adding to or taking from the simple instructions of Jesus is to fail to honour Him as Lord. Any man-made systems only serve to compete with Jesus’ authority, and often bind human traditions upon others, which Jesus condemned (Matthew 15:3-9).

 

The Gospel For All

We seek to proclaim the message of the crucified and risen Lord Jesus. We encourage all to accept God’s free gift of eternal life in His Son Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23). We believe God’s plan for salvation involves…..

 

            ·          Repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21)

            ·          Confessing Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:10)

            ·          Being baptised into Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38)

            ·          Followed by a life of faithful service to Christ (Revelation

 2:10)

 

We understand that in order for our faith to be pleasing to God we must trust Him to the extent of obeying Him (Hebrews 5:9). It is through such faith that we become God’s children.

 

            “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For

           as  many of you as were baptised into Christ have put on Christ.”

 (Galatians 3:26-27)

What You May Expect When You Visit

You may expect to be treated as an honoured and respected guest. You will not be embarrassed in any way. In keeping with our effort to carefully follow the Bible, our worship consists only of those activities authorised by command or example in the New Testament:-

 • On the first Sunday of the month we observe the Lord’s Supper (Communion) as a memorial of our Saviour’s Death and Resurrection and anticipation of His return.

 • We praise God and edify one another through singing (Colossians 3:16), and offer prayers of supplication and thanksgiving (1 Timothy 2:1-2).

 • Through sermons we encourage one another to ‘continue steadfastly in the apostle’s doctrine’ (Acts 2:42).

 • Only on a Sunday do we take up a collection, and this is so regular members can give as they have purposed in their hearts (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:7).

 As a visitor, you are our guest, so please do not feel under any obligation to give.

Throughout our services, two principles govern all that we do:

 • ‘Let all things be done for edification’ – 1 Corinthians 14:25; and

• ‘Let all things be done decently and in order’ – 1 Corinthians 14:40.

 In addition to our regular Sunday morning Praise & Worship service we have mid-week meetings. Please refer to our Weekly Newsletter for current details of these meetings.

The Nature of the Church

All who are in fellowship with Christ are members of His spiritual body, the church universal (1 Corinthians 12:12; Colossians 1:18). The universal church is a spiritual body, with Jesus as its head and saved people throughout the world as members of His body (Ephesians 1:22-23; Acts 2:47). As such, the universal church has no Earthly or physical organisation; by contrast it is a spiritual organism.

Wherever Christians extend fellowship to each other in worship and work, we find a congregation or local church. These congregations are independent and self-governing, each having a plurality of elders (also known as bishops and pastors) watching out for their souls (Acts 20:17; 1 Peter 5:1-4). Assisting the elders are deacons who serve and minister to the needs of the congregation (Philippians 1:1; 1 Timothy 3:8-13).

We aspire to implement and follow these guidelines. Community Church of Polis seeks to be such a congregation of Christians – a church of Christ – in our community, for our community and serving our community.

‘Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." ‘ (John 8:32-33)
