Our Objective

The objective of the Piedmont Road church of Christ is to be faithful to Christ in all He teaches. He tells us that we can be true disciples only when we abide in the teaching of His word (John 8:31-32). We believe the Old Testament to be inspired and written for our learning (II Tim. 3:16-17; Romans 15:4). We study it in our Bible classes and use it in our preaching. However, we recognize that it was fulfilled and abolished on the cross (Col. 2:14).

We uphold the New Testament as the covenant (testament) through which Christ directs His people today (Heb. 1:1-2; 8:6-7). The New Testament is our guide in all matters of faith and practice. We do not adhere to nor accept as authoritative any man made creeds. Each member must accept individual responsibility as a disciple to study and apply the teaching of Jesus (John 8:31-32). We are confident that if each individual is guided solely by the word of God, unity not confusion will result.
