Denominationalism- A recent Newsweek poll indicates that
the fastest growing faith group in America is those who call
themselves non-denominational Christians. The increase has
been over 1000% in the last ten years! That’s nearly 10 times
the growth of the next group! It would be smart of us to position
ourselves in that group, but we have been positioned there for
200 years! We are an autonomous church. No national
headquarters oversees our work or checks our orthodoxy. If you
have never heard of the Church of Christ, maybe you have heard
of members such as Max Lucado who are committed to our
ideals of being “Christians only, but not the only Christians.”
If you are looking for a church home in your community,
chances are you will be thrilled with our commitment to non-
denominational Christianity.
Formality- In the grand scheme of high-church/low-church
you will find us pretty bad at being formal. People ask for
prayers each week right from their seats, offering their concerns
and victories during our family prayer time. Regular ol'
members participate in our services each week by reading
scripture, leading prayers or songs. Obviously personalities
differ in our church body, but our Sunday intent is to be a
family that gathers together before their Father to thank Him,
speak with Him and once again remind themselves that He is
with them at all times.
Programs- Maybe it's just us, but we don't meet a lot of people
in the D.C.-metro area who are searching for more things to add
to their To-Do lists. In keeping with people’s busy lives, we are
long on relationship and short on programs. That’s not to say
we don’t have plenty of activities going on and plenty of
opportunities to serve and fellowship. We have ministries
focused on our youth, and all sorts of other groups. If the
church of Christ is a body, then we believe that the body needs to
be fed and exercised so it can be fit to serve. Programs can be
good and often meet vital needs. Join us and you’ll find groups
of people serving and growing in areas that interest you and
meet your needs.
