We are a group of Christians gathered together in the love of Jesus Christ to worship and serve him. Our association is not founded by the will of man alone. We want to be in active communion with all those who share the same faith. Our union does not come from ourselves; it is a creation of God.
We have no other name than "Christian," and we are not attached to any organized or centralized sect. Our only rule of faith and practice is the New Testament; our only head is Christ. We have renounced the doctrines, traditions and names humans who do not come from the Word de Dieu et qui provoquent les divisions. Mais étant conscients de nos limites, nous ne cherchons pas à imposer nos propres opinions.
What do we believe?
We believe that the teachings of Christ and his apostles, which alone are authoritative in the Church, clearly explain all that one must believe and do to be a Christian and to please God. In this area, we insist on full conformity to the purity and simplicity of the Holy Scriptures. As for secondary doctrinal points and questions of opinion, we do not make them a condition of communion and do not recognize anyone's right to do so.
Just like Christ, we deplore the division that now exists among those who say they are Christians. We pray that all the denominations, instead of just tolerating each other and recognizing each other, will vanish to humbly give way to the unity of all believers.
We want to be disciples of Christ and encourage our neighbors to be too. By returning to the Bible, we can rediscover the Church as Jesus built it: “We do not preach ourselves; it is Jesus Christ the Lord whom we preach, and we call ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.”
2 Corinthians 4.5
Our beginnings
In the 1950s, as Europe rebuilt itself, Christians from across the Atlantic came out with their limited means, financially supported by their local church or by friends, and assisted in the improvement of the material conditions of countries ravaged by conflict. These men and women also had spiritual riches to share, and their faith.
At the same time, in France, a few churches sprung up in cities or even in homes in the countryside.
In Paris our Sunday worship and all the meetings were first held on the 2nd floor of a building located on rue des Martyrs, above a judo hall. In 1957, an old garage, transformed into a meeting room, became the meeting place of the church of Christ, at 4 rue Déodat de Séverac. Christians who gathered there had a single purpose : to respect and serve all women and all men across racial, national, or religious divides, on the basis of the love that forgives all, and hopes all things (I Corinthians 13.7).
Churches of Christ have no central organization. They are sisters, united on the basis of the New Testament and independent.
