Visitors
We want you to visit us at the Church of Christ. We want you to feel comfortable, but we know an unfamiliar place can be intimidating. So, let us tell you what you can expect when you honor us with a visit.
No
book but the Bible,
No creed but the Christ;
No name but the Divine,
No plea but the Gospel.
No aim but to Save.
In
Christ, unity;
In opinions, liberty;
In all things, charity.
A nursery is available during the adult worship service for children from infancy through two years old.
| Our Worship Is Simple
and Devout |
Our services are conducted in a quiet, worshipful atmosphere.
They are designed to draw the worshippers closer to God and to provide
enduring spiritual strength. Our worship consists only of those elements which the New Testament reveals as having been used as worship by the church in the days of the Apostles. We sing and pray, partake of the Lord's supper, have the Word of God preached for our instruction, and give of our means for the spreading of the Gospel and caring for the poor. In all of this we seek to maintain the attitude which Christ taught when he said: "God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and Truth" (John 4:24). |
| Our Authority Is The Bible Alone | Our source of authority is that which is found only in the inspired
Scripture. Therefore, we seek to be governed in all that we do by
God's Holy Word. Since the Scriptures are sufficient for our every
need (2 Timothy 3:16-17), our preaching and teaching contains only
that which is commanded in the Bible. |
| Our People Are Christians Only | The division in the religious world today is far different from
the unity enjoyed by the early Christians, before traditionalism and
distinctive names divided them. Believing such division to be contrary
to the Scriptures, we have no denominational organization or name,
doctrine or creed. Following the teachings of Christ and his apostles,
individually we are known as Christians, collectively as a Church
of Christ. |
| You Will Never Be Embarrassed | You visit us as a welcome and respected guest. At the close of the
sermon, the preacher will "extend an invitation." This is
simply an expedient time to invite those who are moved to do so to
make a commitment or request prayer support. He will encourage those
who wish to "respond" to come to the front of the auditorium
while the congregation sings a hymn. Please don't feel ill-at-ease
during this invitation. You will not be singled out in any way. |
| You Will Find a Friendly Spirit | We believe that friendliness is a natural attitude among people
who truly love God, so we strive to make sure our visitors receive
a warm welcome. We hope you will accept our invitation to meet with
us again. It will be our pleasure to have you and we sincerely believe
you will benefit by coming. |
