Our History

BACKGROUND

A brief description of our background may help you understand us.  It may also clear up any questions you might have.

The Watertown Church of Christ is an independent church associated with the Churches of Christ, who find their roots in following New Testament Christianity as revealed in the Scriptures.  It is our desire to build a strong and vibrant local body of believers who have chosen to be “Christian only” and stand firmly upon the teachings found in the Bible.  We have no governance or structure outside the local congregation, we are an autonomous congregation.

The goal of the Church of Christ is to restore the New Testament church in our time, to determine from the Bible what the church was like in the beginning and to then make our assembly and worship as much like it as possible.  We believe this is a worthy and reverent goal. We strive to be a Bible-centered church and hold to the teachings Jesus taught which were passed on through his apostles, leading to the establishment of Christianity (ca. AD 32-35).
