What to Expect When You
Visit Us
Many people are reluctant to visit a church assembly if they do not know
what to expect when they get there.
When you visit the Schertz church of Christ you will find:
- A group of friendly people, who will greet you warmly and help you
find your way to the appropriate class or assembly. You will not be
embarrassed by being asked to publicly identify yourself, or give a
donation, or take any visible role.
- A worship service that is simple, reverent, and sincere. The
atmosphere is neither ritualistic nor emotional, but establishes an
environment in which the message of God to mankind motivates us to return
His love and gladly serve Him.
- Acts of worship that are based solely on the Scriptures. For example,
we partake of the Lord's Supper every Sunday.
- Bible classes that foster open discussion of God's Word and its
application to "real world" problems.
The following citation from the Encyclopedia Britannica reflects
our distinctive characteristics:
| The Churches of Christ have no creed in the sense of a humanly formulated
statement containing official articles of faith. They believe in the
manifestation of God in Christ, in the all-sufficiency of the Bible, with
the primacy of the New Testament as the revelation of the will of God and
the only rule of faith and practice. They continue to advocate the
restoration of New Testament Christianity. They believe that the word of God
is the seed of the church. When received it produces faith in Christ,
repentance from sin, confession of faith in Christ, burial with Christ in
Baptism for the remission of sins, and thus leads to Christian worship,
Christian living and the hope of eternal life as it did in New Testament
times. |
