Bowie Church of Christ
Bowie Church of Christ is a non-denominational, Christ-centered, people-loving, joy-filled, hope-
giving church whose vision is knowing and doing God's will with the belief that each member has a
unique calling from God. Our vision is based on the following outline of our core beliefs. We exist to
help people become just like Jesus.
What We Believe
We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, that God is one and has made Himself known
through His incarnation in the person and work of Jesus, who is our model, and that grace compels
us in everything we do.
• We celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the central event of history and the
sole ground of hope for human redemption. God demonstrated both his holiness and his grace
through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
• We teach that man comes into a right relationship with God, by grace through faith in Jesus
Christ as Lord and Leader of our lives. Our hope is in Christ alone and is accessed by faith alone.
We believe the Bible demonstrates that women play significant roles in ministry and that the church
is best served when men and women share responsibilities and serve together as complementary
partners.
• We affirm that authentic faith in Jesus Christ will evidence itself in a new life which seeks full
devotion to Him. Obedience to the teachings of Christ found in the Bible leads to freedom expressed
by loving service to God and others, and spiritual fruitfulness as empowered by the Holy Spirit.
• We practice and believe that baptism is by immersion as is evidenced in the Bible. Baptism is
an act of obedience and reflects the heart’s decision to be “buried with Jesus Christ … to live a new
life.” Rom 6:4. We do not believe that any action or work is what brings salvation. Only the grace of
God can bring us into a right union with God.
• We invite everyone to know Jesus, follow Him, and share Him with others. We seek to build a
community where God is honored as people are invited to belong: To know and be known, to serve
and be served, and to celebrate and be celebrated.
