Welcome to the church of Christ
The church of Christ is a growing, friendly congregation. We believe that God's church is for all people. On any given Sunday, you will find a diverse family of believers—ranging in age from newborns to centenarians, coming from all walks of life, races, and nationalities, worshipping together as God's children (Acts 10:34-35).
What to Expect During Your Visit
We want you to feel completely comfortable. You will never be singled out or put on the spot. You are welcome to participate or simply sit back and observe.
Our simple, reverent services last about an hour and typically follow this flow:
Welcome & Opening: A brief welcome from a member, followed by congregational singing and prayer.
Scripture Reading & Praise: A reading from the Bible and an additional song to prepare our minds for the Lord’s Supper.
The Lord’s Supper: Every Sunday, we observe communion by partaking of unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:23-29; Acts 20:7).
Children's Bible Hour: After communion another song is sung during which those children ages 5 and under are welcome to head downstairs to attend a Children’s Bible Hour, if they choose to.
Bible-Centered Sermon: The preacher delivers a practical, scriptural message. We encourage everyone to bring a Bible and follow along (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
The Invitation: At the end of the sermon, an invitation song is sung. This offers an open, pressure-free opportunity for anyone wishing to become a Christian or request prayers for rededication (Matthew 11:28-30).
Closing: The service concludes with brief announcements, a final song, and a closing prayer.
🤝 Visitor-Friendly
Many of our members were once visitors themselves, so we remember what it feels like. We strictly aim to treat others the way we want to be treated (Matthew 7:12).
📖 Bible-Based & Christ-Centered
We sincerely strive to follow New Testament teachings to please God. You’ll find that every sermon and class is based on the Bible (2nd Timothy 3:16-17). Our goal is to do Bible things in Bible ways, and call Bible things by Bible names—nothing more, nothing less. We seek to exalt Christ in our songs, prayers, and daily lives (Colossians 1:18), anchored by the beautiful promise of heaven (Revelation 21).
🍞🍇Lord’s Supper Observed Each Sunday
The church of Christ has communion every week, just as they did in the New Testament times (cf. Acts 20:7). It is a highlight of the week to commemorate Christ’s death and celebrate his promised return.
🎤 A Cappella Singing
In keeping with New Testament precedent, our congregational singing is entirely a cappella (without musical instruments). We lift our voices together in pure praise, and visitors are always welcome to join in or just listen (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16).
🏡 Emphasis on Family & Bible School
Children are a priority to us. In a confusing world, we believe it is our God-given responsibility to assist parents in grounding kids in the simple truth of their Creator (Ecclesiastes 12:1; Matthew 19:14). We offer dedicated Bible classes to help them know their Lord and Savior early in life.
