Vision:

The Church of Christ at The Colonies building is located on the expanding west side of Amarillo. New homes are being built, new schools are planned, and the area is alive with activity and growth.

We believe the purpose of the church is to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to people here on earth, and we want to communicate this message of Christ’s love and forgiveness in a way that is relevant and understandable. We invite you to join us as we seek to live out our vision statement: “…to be a Christ-centered church that constantly seeks innovative methods in worship and ministry to bring an eclectic group of people from where they are spiritually to where God wants them to be.”

History:

Church of Christ at The Colonies began as a humble gathering of believers at Puckett Elementary School in November 2000. In those days it was known as Westside Church of Christ and from the very beginning, Dick Marcear served as the preaching minister, a role he continues to fill to this day with the loving support of his congregation.

Within the next two years, enough money was raised to purchase 8.25 acres of land at 4500 Wesley Rd., and construction of the current auditorium, kitchen, offices, and classroom space was under way. Having chosen a new name to fit their new location, Church of Christ at The Colonies celebrated the first worship service in their new building on May 19, 2002.

Throughout the next few years, the Lord blessed The Colonies with growth both numerically and financially. In 2007, the newest addition to the building was completed, adding a children’s ministry wing, youth ministry area, multipurpose room, and gymnasium.
