The Anderson Church of Christ
We believe that God has worked and is working through Jesus Christ to reconcile humanity to himself.  This reconciliation comes through the act of God becoming human in the person of Jesus, dying for our sins, and being raised to give us hope of life beyond the grave.  We believe that God has bestowed his Spirit upon all who accept Jesus as Lord for the purpose of transforming us into the image of Christ.  We believe that Jesus will one day return to consummate the victory that was begun through the cross and resurrection.

We believe that the Bible is the word of God.  It reveals the nature of God and his work of reconciliation to all of humanity. We believe that the Bible is the guide for the church in matters of morality, social justice, church organization, and teaching.

We believe that those who choose to follow Jesus turn from a life that opposes God and are baptized into Christ.  Those who do so become disciples of Jesus and commit themselves to the Lord and to the church.  We believe that the church is the body of Christ and that God intends for the church to be God’s witness to the world.  Therefore the church is not a secondary part of God’s work in the world, but a vital part of it. The Anderson Church of Christ exists to reach, encourage, and equip as many people as possible in becoming dedicated followers of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:20).  

Worship - Community - Service
As the body of Christ the church attempts to emulate and reflect Jesus.  We believe that those who choose to follow Jesus have entered into a journey with the Lord that includes three important elements.

Worship
We gather for a common worship on Sunday mornings at 10:00.  In the manner of the earliest Christians, we take the Lord’s Supper every Sunday to honor the death of Jesus for our sins.  We lift up our hearts in prayers and songs to God and we hear the word of God read aloud.  We also hear a teaching from the Bible that encourages us to be what God meant for us to be.  We also take up a collection for the various ministries of the church.

Community
Because it is impossible to travel this journey alone, God has given us one another to encourage and challenge each other in the faith.  The Anderson Church of Christ provides opportunities for those of all ages and backgrounds to find a group that they can both encourage and be encouraged by.  Below are some of our groups.

Service
Jesus said that the way to find our lives is by losing them. One of the ways that we do this is in service to others.  Below are some of the opportunities for serving in the community.
