What We Believe

Mission
The mission of the Bloomington Church of Christ (BLCOC) is to love God wholeheartedly by living daily as disciples of Jesus Christ, loving one another, equipping one another to do good works locally and globally, and by seeking and saving the lost.

Vision
The vision of the Bloomington Church of Christ is that each member will live a balanced Christian life as disciples of Jesus, and help others to know God in that same way.

Core Commitments
As Christians, we live by the standards outlined in the Holy Bible and strive to apply them to our lives in practical applications and as a church family. All of what we do is focused on these core commitments:

9) To recognize I am saved by grace through faith (not by works)
