Summary

  The  Portage church of Christ is a group of pre-denominational Christians  that are striving to serve the Lord together. Our goal is to please God,  and we believe that the best way to do that is to follow the pattern  that was established by the churches in the first century and revealed  in the New Testament.  We have no creed or doctrine except the Bible and  we follow the Bible only. We strive for unity in the teaching of New  Testament doctrine.  Our congregation is not part of, or subject to, any  larger man-made religious organization. We are a completely autonomous  congregation. We are locally governed, just as the church in the first  century was. How does one becomes a member of this church  congregation?  The exact same way as seen in the Biblical accounts.  On  the day of Pentecost following Jesus’ resurrection, people who repented  and were baptized were saved (Acts 2:38) and the saved were added to the  church (Acts 2:47). These saved people were members of the body, or  church (Colossians 1:18).
