Ministries
We are striving to lift up the resurrected Lord, Jesus Christ, and share Him with all people.
We follow the Bible as our only source of authority and we are seeking to restore New Testament Christianity in the twenty first century. We have been commissioned by Jesus Christ to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19).
We also believe that our mission is to address some very important basic human needs such as:
- The need to know and have a relationship with God and Jesus Christ His Son and that of being led by His Spirit…
- The need for worship, where we assemble together as a body of believers to praise God and thank Him for all our blessings…
- The need for being involved and active in service, providing a platform where our talents and other resources can be used in reaching out to one another and other in our community…
- The need for fellowship, where we discover the entire gamut of Christian friendship, support and spiritual nourishment…
At the District Heights church of Christ, you will find many opportunities for worship, edification, involvement, outreach, and spiritual growth. We provide something for the entire family – children, teens and adults.
