WHAT TO EXPECT

What To Expect

What will you experience when visiting us?

Our hope is that when you visit the church of Christ in Howe, Texas that you will find us to be a group of loving Christians that seek to obey God in all we do and say.  Our worship services model what you will find in the New Testament.  We sing, we pray, we give as we've been blessed, we study God's word and we observe communion on the first day of every week. 

Our Purpose.

His Glory.

Our purpose is quite simple – to worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24) and to teach the Bible. We model our worship services like those you can read of in the New Testament: we sing (Ephesians 5:19) and pray (Acts 4:24), we memorialize the Lord’s death as He commanded (Matthew 26:26-29) and give as we have prospered (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). We also teach and preach the Bible, the inspired word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17).


We in the churches of Christ take seriously the Lord’s words in John 4:24: “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” The word of God, and specifically, the New Testament of Jesus Christ (Heb. 8:6-13), is our standard of truth for acceptable worship (John 17:17). God has not left it up to us to do whatever we please when we approach him; through the inspired apostles of Christ he has directed the church in the manner in which we are to worship him. Our goal is to do as did the early church, which “continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42).  This makes our worship distinctive from what most are accustomed to seeing in other churches.


You will also find a warm welcome from friendly folks who want to help you understand God’s will for your life and his plan for your salvation so that you can be sure you are saved by His grace and have the hope of eternal life. We hope you can attend one of our worship assemblies or Bible classes soon. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
