About the Church

The Sonora Church of Christ is an independent Church which is associated with the Churches of Christ, who find their roots in following New Testament Christianity as revealed in the Scriptures. It is our desire to build a strong and vibrant local body of believers who have chosen to be Christians and stand firmly upon the teachings found in the Bible.

We are an autonomous congregation, having no governance or structure outside the local congregation. We see ourselves as part of the restoration movement in American history that began in the late 1700’s. In the restoration movement, men and women sought to be free from denominational ties and hierarchy. Churches began to spring up that sought to be self governed. Rather than label themselves as Baptists, Catholic, Presbyterians, etc. they just called themselves “Christians.” It is that spirit of non-denominational Christianity that we want to continue.
