Site Purpose

The purpose of the TruthDirectory website is to provide a resource for Christians traveling in unfamiliar areas to find sound congregations.  Due to the myriad of facts contained and the frequency of changes in addresses, phone numbers, and service times keeping any directory up to date is almost impossible. We are dependent on you, our readers, to ensure your congregation’s information is as up-to-date as possible.

We emphasize that this list is man-made and that anyone traveling to one of the churches listed or moving to an area where one of the churches exist should examine the church’s stand on various issues and make their own decision as to whether or not they could worship there in good conscience.  Inclusion in this list says nothing about what the Lord thinks of them.  In fact in Revelation 3, the church at Sardis was called “dead” by our Lord, but there were still a few in Sardis who were faithful and alive among the dead.

Which Congregations are listed here?

This is a listing of many non-institutional churches of Christ throughout the World. Our intent is to list only congregations that would describe themselves as “conservative and non-institutional”. In short, congregations which do not support human institutions such as:

  • Use of Church Treasury to build “Life Centers”, “Fellowship Halls”, etc.
  • Orphans Homes
  • Missionary Societies (where churches send money to a central
    sponsoring church – which then distributes money to preachers).
  • Use of Musical Instruments in Worship

For more information on the definition of these terms see: Collection of Articles on Institutionalism
