Who We Are
The Chandler Street Church of Christ is a
family of believers who desire to worship and serve God through Jesus Christ
our Lord. We desire to be “Christians
only”, with Jesus Christ as the head of our church, His body, without
denominational affiliation. The Bible is
the inspired Word of God and is our only guide for our faith.
Together we
proclaim that Jesus Christ is man’s only hope of salvation. He is the Son of God and the One with all
authority in heaven and on earth. When
people believe in Him, accept His death, burial and resurrection, turn away
from their sins, and are immersed in His name, they
are saved and added by the Lord to His church found throughout the New
Testament. (Matthew 16:16; 28:19, 20; Mark 16:15-16; Acts
2:36-38, 41-42, 47; 4:12).
As a body,
we strive to be the Lord’s church only, following the examples of the first
century church by meeting together each Lord’s Day for singing, praying,
partaking of the Lord’s Supper, preaching of the Word and giving for the Lord’s
work (Ephesians 5:19; Acts 2:42; 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2).
How We Serve
Worship: Congregational worship is
important to us at the Chandler Street Church of Christ. We seek to honor God, build up one another in
love, and proclaim the riches of Christ whenever we assemble for worship.
Bible Classes: We have Bible classes
available for all ages, from those in Cradle Roll to adults. Special classes for women, youth, families
and Children’s Bible Hour (during morning worship) are available every Sunday
morning and Wednesday night.
Youth: We have an active youth program that focuses on
developing positive Christian character in middle school and high school
youth. Besides regular and special Bible
classes, numerous devotionals, youth fellowships, trips and service projects
are scheduled to assist our youth in growing up strong in the Lord. Our Family and Youth Minister works with them
year around.
Ladies: A Ladies Bible Class on Wednesday mornings
and evenings promotes growth in knowledge of God’s Word and fellowship.
Tri-C: The Christian
Campus Center
located on the Kilgore
College campus is an
outreach of area churches of Christ including Chandler Street. The Tri-C offers fellowship, Bible study and
training for college students at Kilgore
College. College Bible courses are offered for credit
through the Tri-C. A campus minister
works with those who visit the Tri-C and others on the campus during the school
year.
More: Besides these ministries, we offer
assistance to those in need, have special Small Group Bible Studies on the 1st
and 3rd Sundays of each month; promote visitation, encouragement and
fellowship through our Monday Night for the Master program; and encourage
fellowship and friendship whenever possible.
