Churches of Christ seek to restore the practices of the New Testament church. They emphasize the authority of Scripture alone, believer's baptism by immersion for the forgiveness of sins, weekly communion, and a cappella singing (no musical instruments in worship).
Churches of Christ practice a cappella worship (no instruments) and view baptism as essential for salvation, not merely symbolic. Baptist churches use musical instruments and generally see baptism as an act of obedience after salvation. Churches of Christ also observe communion every Sunday.
Worship includes congregational a cappella singing, prayers, Scripture readings, a sermon, and weekly communion. Services are simple and Scripture-focused, without elaborate rituals or ceremonies. Most services last about 60 to 75 minutes.

Expect a simple, reverent service focused on Scripture. The a cappella singing may be unfamiliar if you're used to instruments. Dress ranges from business casual to formal. Visitors are welcome to observe communion, and greeters will help you feel at home.
Each Church of Christ congregation is autonomous — there is no denominational headquarters, hierarchy, or governing body. Local churches are led by elders (also called shepherds or bishops) and served by deacons, following the pattern described in the New Testament.
