Gethsemane Church of Christ is an independent Christian church. Founded in 1867, our desire is first to please our wonderful God and seek to further His Kingdom on the earth. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Savior for lost people. He died for our sins and arose from the grave on the third day. Jesus promised His Holy Spirit to all who believe and obey Him.
Concerning salvation, we hold to the same gospel message that the apostles proclaimed beginning on the day of Pentecost. We believe that the scriptures are infallible and that they are the only source of authority for God's church.
When a person believes the message about Jesus, repents of his/her sins and is baptized into Jesus, they are forgiven and they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
