What to expect when you visit us.
Many people say, “I intend to visit the Church of Christ sometime.” Some have put it off smiply because of a dred of going into an unfamiliar place, not knowing what to eaxpeact. We’d like to introduce ourselves and let you know what to expect when you visit us.
You will not be embarrassed
When you visit us you will be respecated guests. We speak our convictions with kindness and courtesy, you will not be insulted or embarrassed in our midst. Our assembly is not an unrestrained display of emotion and excitement; but a simple and devout period of worship. We gather to sing, study and pray together.
There will be no high-pressure methods used to influence you in any way, and not embarrassing moments will make you wish you hadn’t come. You will not feel out of place at any of our services.
Our worship is simple
All of our worship is simple. Our music is composed of accappela singing and everyone is encouraged to participate. Our prayers are fervent appeals to God. Our sermons are Christ-centered, Bible-filled, and designed to be understandable, in order to teach and encourage those in attendance.
Anyone desiring to become a Christian is afforded an opportunity at each assembly. No one will go about the audience singling people out, asking you to stand or urging anyone to go forward. The services are not designed to embarrass you, but rather to teach the Bible to all who come to sing and pray together.
Contributions are made on Sunday by members for the congregations to support the work of the church. Visitors may give but are under no obligation. The Lord’s Supper is observed by Christians every Sunday as institute byt Jesus (Matthew 26:26-28). It is a memorial supper in memory to the Lord’s death (ICor. 11:24-25). Unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine symbolize the body and blood of Jesus (ICor. 10:16).
The Church of Christ exists to please God and to serve one another.
