​

Churches of Christ extend to all a sincere invitation to visit their worship assemblies and Bible Classes. If you have never visited one of these congregations, you may be wondering what to expect when you visit the church of Christ.

​

You may expect to be treated with dignity and respect. Those who come to worship and learn are honored guests. We want your visit to be comfortable and pleasant, as well as profitable.

​

You will find a friendly group of people, bound together in Christian love who are seeking to live and worship by the principles of Jesus. We are the first to confess that we are not perfect individuals, but we are trying to do right toward you, and all we meet, we want to exhibit a sincere spirit of Christian charity and kindness.

​

When you visit the Sunday worship service, you will find a service that is simple, orderly, and Scriptural. We believe, as Paul admonished in 1 Corinthians 14:40, that all things should be done decently and in order. Christ showed that worship should be in "in spirit and in truth: (John 4:24). you will find, therefore, that the items of worship authorized by the New Testament are the things we practice.

​

Prayer is led by men of the church. The singing is congregational and without mechanical instrumental music accompaniment. Giving is free will. The Lord's Supper is passed to the congregation. The sermon is always on a Bible theme, with emphasis on knowing and doing what God teaches in His Word.

​

When you visit the church of Christ, you will find those who hold no creed but Christ and who follow no book but the Bible. You may find what you have been seeking in religion.
