OUR MISSION

Kirkpatrick Church of Christ exists to bring glory to God. Our mission is to make disciples by evangelizing the lost, nurturing the saints toward maturity and ministry, serving all God's people without reserve, functioning as the moral conscience of secular society and community, and worshiping the Lord in spirit and truth. This is our mission.

The Kirkpatrick Church of Christ is a family-friendly church that models to others the love of Christ. Every Sunday morning, we have a blended song service (hymns and choruses), followed by Communion, prayer time, and a sermon that is effective for today's society. We are a small church with a big heart, and we welcome anyone who comes through our doors. Come check us out. You will like what you see.

Our mission is to bring glory to God. But what does that mean? And how is it that we attempt to do that? What drives this church, and what are the under-girding beliefs that give us our focus? Good questions that deserve direct responses.

The leadership of the Kirkpatrick church is striving every day to live up to the high standards of this calling. We don't always succeed, but we know that as we earnestly seek to serve our God, He will grant us the ability, judgment, and resources to reach these objectives so that those who need to hear His message of hope may hear it through our efforts.

Kirkpatrick Church of Christ is an independent, nondenominational fellowship of believers who seek to follow Christ and wear His name. Churches like ours are called "Restoration" Churches", arising out of the Restoration Movement in the 1800s to get back to the basics of the Bible in our manner of worship.

Our ministry foundation and focus is Jesus Christ alone. Listed below is a brief description of the central tenets of the Christian faith to which we unswerving subscribe. Anyone who wants to understand what drives our church must have a good grasp of what we believe about God, His Son, the Holy Spirit, and His Word.

These beliefs explain our allegiance to the Savior, our dedication to the work of the Kingdom, and our stand for absolute truth.

• We have no creed but Christ; that belief in Jesus as the Son of God is the beginning of our salvation, without any man-written creeds.  (Hebrews 12:2 )

• That baptism is by immersion in water and is necessary for salvation and membership in the Church. (Acts 22:6; Acts 2:38; Acts 2:47)

• We take Communion every Sunday, as the first church in Acts did (Acts 2:42; Acts 20:7)  

• We are known only as Christians, and our churches wear the name of Christ, as the early churches were identified this way. (Romans 16:16)
