What to expect

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.
