What
We Believe
Jesus
Christ is the one and only Son of God, who died for our sins
and arose from the dead.
(1 Corinthians 15: 1-8; John 3:16)
The
Bible is the inspired word of God - a lamp unto our feet
and a light unto our path.
(2 Timothy 3:16; Psalm 119:105)
Every
person has worth as a creation of God, but that all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
(Romans 3:23)
Forgiveness
of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to
those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord.
(John 3:16)
Those
accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith,
and be baptized into Him.
(Romans 10:9; Acts 2:38)
The
Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the
Holy Spirit and exists to evangelize the lost and edify
the saved.
(Ephesians 4:1-16)
Jesus
Christ will one day return to earth and reign forever as
King of kings and Lord of lords.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

History
Our
church began in March 1999 with a group of 30 people. Don
Hill was founding Minister. The first service was held in
the show barn at Anderson Circle Farms. Over the first 6 years,
the church has met at Harrodsburg High School, Burgin High
School, Stone Manor Restaurant, and the Frank Bradshaw Building.
Attendance grew from 35-105 over the first six years.
Greg Warren became the church's second minister in August
2003. We began construction of the first building in 2004
and had our first service in June 2005. As the congregation
continued to grow, we added a gym and classrooms in February
of 2007. We continue to look for ways to reach more people
with the Good News.

What
Kind of Church We Are
We
are an Independent Christian Church which came out of the
Restoration Movement of the frontier period of America. The
Restoration Movement was fueled by the desire to call all
followers of Christ to unity by simply returning to the Bible
as our source of authority. We do not believe that man-made
creeds are necessary as the Bible is complete in and of itself
as a guide for our individual lives as well as church doctrine.
We have no denominational hierarchy or denominational structure.
Each church operates “independently” while following
the leadership of the local church elders who look to the
Bible as their source of guidance and submit to Christ as
the Head of the Church. (Ephesians 1:22) We do not profess
to be the only Christians but rather Christians only. Therefore,
we choose to be called simply “Christians” rather
than another distinctive denominational name.
