Our purpose is to be united as one body to reflect God's glory while worshipping Him, teaching His Word to all, and encouraging one another to grow.”

Mebane St. Church of Christ

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the

church and gave Himself up for her, (26) so that He might

sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water

with the word, (27) that He might present to Himself the

church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any

such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
