So marriage has been under real threat for a long time.  From any close reading of Scripture it was under threat back then.  Consider Proverbs 5 and its timeless advice to “rejoice in the wife of your youth.”  There the writer warns of the adulteress.  Is she a prostitute, a fertility priestess, or the woman next door?  We’re not sure.  Literally, in the Hebrew text, she’s the “strange woman.”  How enticing are her words!  Keep away.  Do not go near the door of her house—Don’t click that mouse—lest you give your best strength to others (verse 9).  At the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and body are spent (verse 11).

Principles that shape our church family

Discipleship

We believe in Discipleship.
We recognize the hunger in the human soul for the high call of Christian discipleship, the desire to prove one’s self against great odds and to take risks so that others may be saved, healed, rescued and liberated. We acknowledge this longing to be bound together with others of like mind and spirit in this most heroic of all purposes.

(Luke 9:23-24; 14:25-35; The Gospel of Matthew , esp. 5-7)

The Stamford Church of Christ is a multi-racial, gender-inclusive Church of Christ. We honor as our spiritual heritage those attempts that began in America early in the 19th century to restore the life and spirit of Christianity as envisioned by Jesus and his apostles. So we are a community of believers - disciples of Jesus - who have confessed their faith in him and have been baptized into him. And we take seriously His teachings and their implications for the world in which we live.

From their beginnings, Churches of Christ have been "locally owned and operated". We have no denominational organization or headquarters. So there are things we do that other Churches of Christ may not, and things that other Churches of Christ may do that we do not. As the result of much study of scripture, for instance, we do not restrict roles or assign privilege or status on the basis of birth. We believe that God judges all people everywhere not by the categories of their physical births but by the maturity of their spiritual births.
