What kind of a church is Christ's
Church?
We
are a non-denominational church. We are distinctly
Christian in our beliefs and doctrines, holding to the
Bible as our primary guide for faith and practice. People
who attend Christ's Church come from a variety of
denominational backgrounds and some have never been to
church before. We are old and young, married and single,
growing in ethnic and economic diversity and our mission is
to bring glory to God by growing a biblically healthy
spiritual family of fully devoted followers of Jesus
Christ.
What
does your church believe?
As
stated above, Christ's Church is distinctly Christian in
our beliefs and practices, and we hold to the Bible as
God's Word and our guide. For a more detailed explanation

What
should I wear?
We hope you will dress
comfortably - as if going to a friend's home and enjoy our
relaxed atmosphere. You'll find people wearing everything
from shorts all the way to an occasional tie. So just come
as you are and dress however you'd like.
Will
I have to sign anything, give anything, or be singled out
in any way?
The
answer is simply No, No, and No! We're not in the business
of pressuring people. We always encourage people to
participate in our service, but you won't have to wear a
sign saying, "I'm a visitor!" or anything like that.
However, whenever you are ready and feel comfortable doing
so, we do have a connect card that we'd like for you to
fill out so we can get to know you better as you are
getting to know us.
What
time is your service and how do I get
there?
Our
service of worship begins each Sunday at 10:00 am. Our
facilities are
located at 1425 Spruce Street Ext. here in Martinsville.

Why
did you begin meeting in a school?
Christ's Church was organized
in 1994. Since that time we have met in three rented
locations, believing that many churches build too soon.
This causes them to build smaller than they should and as a
result, have less funds available for staff and ministry
programs which directly affect people. We chose to invest
in staff and delay building until we could invest in
something which contribute to rather than hinder growth. In
December of 2005, God blessed us with the opportunity to
purchase the
facilities that now
serve as home to our current ministries.
What
about my kids? Is there a special service for
them?
Yes,
there is an age specific part of Christ's Church's ministry
that is focused on meeting the spiritual needs of your
children of all ages. If you have children birth - 5th
grade, we have a children's church ministry which is
offered simultaneously with our Sunday service. If you have
teens, their connection group meets on Sunday and Wednesday
evenings. Please
contact Pastor Tim for more
information.
