Sunrise Church of Christ is a non-denominational fellowship of believers
who have no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, and wear no name but
Christian.
We believe that Christ is the Head of His Church, and therefore
every Christian a part of His body. We do not believe that we are
the only Christians, but earnestly try to be Christians only. We
seek to speak where the Bible speaks, and remain silent where the
Bible is silent. We take the Bible as our only rule of faith and
practice.
Because the original Church that we read about in the Bible was
a church in which salvation made you a member, so Sunrise follows
that pattern. We refuse to impose upon people more than the Word of
God asks to be a Christian, nor require less than the Word states.

Membership is open to all of those who have entered into a grace
relationship with Jesus Christ, recognizing that we are saved by grace
through faith. Membership here requires that one believe in Jesus
Christ as God's Son and be obedient in baptism, which scripturally
is the burial in water of a penitent believer.
