church of Christ | Globally
The Church of Christ was built and with the blood of Jesus Christ. It was established on the day of Pentecost after His resurrection (Acts 2, 20:28). It is the most important institution in the world!
At Georgia Avenue church of Christ you will find the gospel preached in truth and love and a dedicated body of people who worship God as He has commanded in His inspired word. We believe in continual and systematic Bible study, obedience to God's will, and distinctive godly living (2 Tim. 2:15; Matt. 7:21; Rom. 12:1-2). In other words, we seek to be the church that you read about in the New Testament. Nothing more, nothing less.
We welcome you to our website and stand ready to welcome you into our assembly whenever you are able to join us. If you are new in our community, we want you to know that there is a place for you here at the Georgia Avenue church of Christ.
Georgia Avenue church of Christ
The congregation at Georgia Avenue church of Christ assembled for its first worship service on November 5, 2006. That Lord's Day morning, there was a gathering of 31 souls. Today, we have more than 70 members.
Our membership is committed to understanding God's word and rightly applying it in our lives. With the Lord's blessings, and our continued efforts to spread the gospel truth, we look forward to sustained spiritual and numerical growth. We would be thankful if you joined us for Bible study and/or worship one day soon.
