We're always excited to welcome new visitors
At Southwest Christian Church, we're always excited to welcome new visitors. We hope you'll join us for a service, and we want to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Here's what you can expect when you come to either our 9:30 AM Bible Study or 10:30 AM Service.
Our church is located at 9045 SW 60th Avenue, and parking is located in front of and behind the church.
If you have mobility restrictions or young children to carry, feel free to use one of the spots closest to the door. We like to keep them free for visitors and people who need assistance.
When you walk in,
find one of our greeters and introduce yourself. They're usually stationed at the doors and Welcome Desk, and they'll show you where everything is. They'll help you find the nursery and Sunday school rooms if you have kids. Our greeters can also point you to the restrooms, sanctuary and fellowship area. If you have any questions about the service itself, the greeters are able to provide helpful answers.
Be sure to hang around after the service and meet John Scott our preaching minister. We'd also love to get to know you so you're a familiar face the next time you come.
What you can expect when we worship together
- Traditional Christ-centered worship - our goal each Sunday at 10:30AM is to lift up the name of Jesus.
- Offering - as our guest, the only thing we ask you to put in the offering plate is the Information Card from the bulletin.
- Communion - each week we share the Lord's Supper and invite all believers in Christ to join us.
- Bible-based Preaching - believing and proclaiming the Bible to be God's Word, we offer practical preaching from the Scripture.
What we believe about God
He is not only the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, but He is the Heavenly Father who loves each of us, God is the Father, Jesus Christ is the Son, and the Holy Spirit is God working in the believer’s life to make us what He wants us to be. (Please read John 1:1,2; 4:24; 5:18; and 10:30)
What we believe about Jesus Christ
This church believes Peter’s confession of Jesus: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” He is the one and only Lord and Savior. His death on the cross was for us, in our place, to reconcile us back to God. He was buried and rose from the tomb on the third day giving everyone who believes in Him hope of eternal life. The Bible tells us He is coming back again to this earth as King of kings and Lord of lords. (See: Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; John 14:6; and 1 Timothy 2:5)
What we Believe about the Holy Spirit
He is God and He works in Christians to produce the fruit of Godly character: love, joy, peace, patience and other marks of spiritual life. Every Christian is given the gift of the Holy Spirit at conversion. These gifts are to be used in building up the church. The Bible tells us that He gives the believer the power for living, understanding Biblical truth, and daily guidance. (Read II Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-15; Ephesians 1:13; and Romans 8:9)
What we believe about the Bible
It is the infallible Word of God, written by men under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God. It is the only Work of God to mankind. (Please See: II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105; Proverbs 30:5-6)
What we believe about Salvation
The Bible tells us that we are all sinners saved by the grace of a loving God. There is no way we can earn salvation. It is a free gift to anyone who will accept it. We receive forgiveness and new life through…
- Faith in Jesus Christ (Mark 16:16)
- Repentance (turning from sin) (Acts 2:38; ACTS 17:30)
- Confession of your belief in Jesus (Romans 10:9; Matthew 10:32)
- Baptism into Christ (Romans 6:4; Galatians 3:27; Mark 16:16)
- Living faithfully (Revelation 2:10)
What we believe about celebrating the Lord's Supper weekly
We celebrate communion every Sunday as it was in the early church. We invite all Christians, members, and non-members, to share with us whenever we celebrate the Lord’s Supper. (Acts 20:7)
What are the requirements of membership?
Membership in the congregation is based upon faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as Savior and Lord of your life. We have no creed but Jesus. Because baptism (the immersion in water of a repentant believer) was part of the conversion of men, women, and children in the New Testament, it is a qualification for membership today.
