South MacArthur Church of Christ -News

And the Church Gathers . . .

Believe it or not--church is God's idea. Not the particular place, or the various nuances of institutional religion, but the idea of a gathered people in the name of God. God is community--Father, Son and Spirit. So it makes sense that we need community--it's part of how God wired us.
As church, WE are a CALLED, GATHERED, BLESSED and SENT people. Our gathering times at a particular time and place are an important part of being God's people.

Sunday Summer Series

Stories About GOD Everyone Should Know
June 22-Sept 7 � Sundays � 9 AM ABF & 10.15 AM Worship
The Bible is about God--his presence, blessing, covenant, hope, faithfulness, election and redemption. To consider the stories in Scripture is to find ourselves in the greater story of God. It doesn't take long to realize that God uses flawed, broken and at times even faithless humans to embody his story.
