We believe the Bible teaches that sinners are saved by faith, repentance, confession, and baptism. The church of Christ is organized with elders, deacons, preachers, and members as in New Testament times. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that the Bible is inspired of God , and that Jesus will return to take His kingdom home to God . We emphasize sincere worship , every-member evangelism , godly living , love for each other , and helping those in need . We believe that it is possible to have religious unity in a day of division by simply following the New Testament pattern and putting aside human traditions.

To put it simply, the Oneonta church of Christ is seeking to be the same church one reads about in the New Testament. We aim to restore its doctrine, its practice, its lifestyle, and its zeal.
