About Us:
At Elkhorn church of Christ we strive to live as children of God, brothers and sisters living as an extended family, living to please God, and living to support each other. We work hard, but we find plenty of time to enjoy our fellowship.
We use God's word, the Holy Bible to guide us. We are an independent congregation whose only authority is God. It is our objective to, through study, learn God's will, and together find strength through Jesus Christ, to do God's will.
This congregation has elders who view their position as 'shepherds', who guide the congregation, listen to its' needs, and try to fill those needs within the structure of our interpretation of God's will. This is not an easy task, but this is our goal.
When you attend our worship service this is what you might expect:
We are not in the business of judging people. We accept people as they are. During our service you are welcome to join in as much as you are comfortable with, or just observe. A typical service includes; congregational singing, the Lord's Supper (sometimes called communion, or the Eucharist), public prayer lead by a member of the congregation, usually a sermon, and an offering.
You will be welcome to join in the singing if you choose.
During the Lord's supper unleavened bread and grape juice are blessed and passed around, you may partake or just pass it on. The bread and wine are emblems representing Jesus Christ, the son of God and our savior. We observe the Lord's Supper every Sunday.
The offering is intended for our members, if you are visiting you may give, but are not expected to.
An attended nursery is available for young children.
In our Bible studies we study together as a group, lead by a member of the congregation, with open public discussion.
