At the end of C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia as the children venture deeper into Aslan’s country—think “heaven”—they  begin to recognize every rock and stream and tree.  They have been there before.  They discover to their wonder and joy that Narnia exists forever in Aslan’s country, that the world they loved has been preserved only more rich and real than ever.  And they realize that they have come home at last, that this is the land they had been looking for all their lives.  But seriously!  Is there any basis for understanding life after death this way?

Principles that shape our church family

Jesus as the Way

We believe in Jesus as the Way.
In a world filled with sudden violence and great danger, we realize that it is especially urgent that we recover from the life, death and resurrection of Jesus his truths—truths that encourage trust, forgiveness and love for even our enemies; truths that promote sweet reasonableness in the face of anger and conflict; truths that ease our fears and nurture us to draw strength from change and diversity.

(John 14:6-9; Matthew 28:16-20)

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.
