A brief introduction to the Church of Christ.

The church of Christ dates back to the days of the New Testament (see Romans 16:16). It was founded by Chirst on the Day of the Pentecost, A.D. 33 (Acts 2), just about a month after His ascension back to heaven. In the years followed, it rapidily grew to fill Jerusalem, then Judea, Smaria, and finally the whole Roman Empire (Acts 1:8; Colossians 1:23). In America, the first churches of Christ were planted in the late 1700s as a result a movement to "go back to the Bible" and do Bible things in the Bible ways and call Bible things by Bible names (Peter 4:1).
We Believe that Jesus is the Son of God (John 20:30-31), that the Bible is inspired of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and that Christ will return to take His kingdom home to God (1 Corinthians 15:24).
During the Sunday morning service, the Lord's Supper also is observed by partaking of unleaved bread and fruit of the vine. (Matthew 26:26-29, 1 Corinthians 11:23-29). The service lasts about an hour and concludes with a song and a final prayer. Visitors may sit silently, reflectively, emotionally or filled with praise. Allow the Holy Spirit to move you as He will. 2 Corinthians 3: 16-18

Whitney Avenue Church of Christ

Is a non-denominational, non-traditional, Gospel centered church. Taking a fresh view of Scripture and making everyday applications we focus on how we can live out the message of Christ by uniting all people in the fundamental teachings of love. We strive to understand our purpose as individuals, family members, a body of believers and lights in society. We are ambassadors who are to bring the truth of Christ first to our own hearts and upon conviction, to the people and the community we serve.

We are passionate about the lord. We have a deep sense of love for mankind and our doors are open to all. Whether you are a novice in the Scripture, a seasoned saint or someone who is just beginning their spiritual journey with doubts that Christ even existed we welcome you.

Hear
Romans 10:14
But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
Believe
Mark 16:16
John 8:24
Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.”
Repent
Acts 17:30
Acts 2:38

“God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him.

Confess
Romans 10:9-10

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

Baptism
Matthew 28:18-20
Acts 2:38-41

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.”

Live Faithfully
(Revelations 2:10)

Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The devil will throw some of you into prison to test you. You will suffer for ten days. But if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life.
