Christians dedicated to following the teachings of God, and of His Son Jesus, as found in the Bible

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” - - Romans 1:16

Cypress Grove Church of Christ: Our Worship

Our worship is based on the examples of the first Christians as they worshiped God. Feel free to participate, or just observe, any of these activities. These are the ways we honor God, and why :

  • Prayers are offered by different men of the church to seek God's face, to pray for those who need His power and forgiveness, and to praise His greatness. See 1 Timothy 2:8

  • Songs are always sung a capella (which means "in the style of the churches") because that was the practice of the early church. See Ephesians 5:19 Colossians 3:16

  • The Breaking of the Bread is a memorial to Jesus our Lord. We celebrate this each Sunday as disciples have always done (Acts 20:7). This memorial is for Christians. Each individual determines his/her participation. See 1 Corinthians 11:23-24.

  • The contribution of the saints is taken up each Sunday, as ordered by Paul in 1 Corinthians 16:1,2. This is a collection from our church family. Guests may contribute but are not expected to do so.

  • The sermon is usually given by an evangelist, or one of the brothers will speak. You are encouraged to follow along in your Bible or one of the Bibles provided. Listen carefully, proving all things from the Word. This is never insulting to us - we demand Biblical proof for all we preach and practice. See Acts 17:11.

How Do I Become a Christian?

People who became Christians in the New Testament believed in Jesus, repented of their sins, confessed Jesus as Lord, and were baptized into Jesus.  If you have done these things to become a Christian, then you have become a Christian the same way people were saved in the time of Christ.

  • Hear Romans - 10:17

  • Believe - Heb 11:7, John 3:16

  • Repent - Acts 17:30

  • Confess - Matt 16:16

  • Be Baptized - Acts 2:38

  • Live Faithfully - Romans 6:4, Rev 2:10

All are in need of Christ’s Salvation
