Church of Christ

About

We are the Ward Street Church of Christ and we welcome you to come worship with us "in Spirit and in Truth" http://www.wardstreet.com/

Story

We are simply a group of Christians committed to the teaching of the Bible and to being faithful followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are striving to be the church you read about in the New Testament. Our focus is on God and our Lord Jesus Christ who loved people and died on their behalf.

We teach only from the Bible and we study both the Old and New Testaments. Our clergy are regular men who are called by their given names and not by special titles such as "father" or "reverend". Our worship is patterened after that which we read about in the New Testament and is always spirited and yet reverent.

Our fellowship is warm and friendly and it doesn't take long to get to know everyone. Our congregation is made up of all kinds of people: different races and backgrounds, old and young, married and single. Our diversity adds to the personality of this warm congregation

In addition to our worship assemblies, we provide Bible classes for all age groups and frequently schedule special classes to meet the needs of new Christians, young adults and teens. We have an active youth program, singles group, and lots of activities for everyone. There are numerous opportunities to fellowship with others including sharing meals together, picnics, home studies, and devotionals.

Mission

When you visit a church of Christ, you will find Christians that are abiding in the doctrine of Christ. You will also experience a loving, spiritual atmosphere that is designed to draw the worshipers closer to God. Our worship service to our Lord consists of those elements which the New Testament reveals as part of the first century church and its worship to God. We sing, pray, partake of the Lord's Supper, have the word of God preached, and give a monetary offering to the Lord, every "first day of the week." "God is spirit, and they that worship him MUST worship Him in Spirit and Truth." (John 4:24)

The division of the religious world today is far from the unity enjoyed by the early Christians. Tradition and distinctive names have divided the church. Believing such division to be contrary to the will of God, we have no denominational affiliation, name, doctrine or creed. We simply follow the teachings of Christ and His apostles. Individually we are Christians. Collectively we are the church of Christ (Rom.16:16). Since the scriptures are sufficient for our every need, (2Tim.3:16-17), our preaching and teaching contains only that which is authorized by the Bible.

The Bible teaches that for a person to be saved from eternal seperation from God, they must:

1. Believe "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned." Mark 16:16

2. Confess "That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" Romans 10:9

3. Repent "I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." Luke 13:3, 5

4. Be immersed to wash away our sins "Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins" Acts 22:16 "baptism now saves you." I Peter 3:21 http://executableoutlines.com/ba.htm

5. Continue to live a Christian life. Col. 3: 1-17 http://executableoutlines.com/top/after.htm

We encourage you to study these verses for yourself, despite what you may have thought before reading this.

We understand that love and friendliness is a natural attitude among people who truly love God. Our visitors will always receive a warm welcome. We hope you will accept our invitation to meet with us soon. You will be benefited by abiding in truth with us at the Ward Street church of Christ in Wallingford, CT.
