| Elm Street
Christian Church is prayerfully determined to
be no part of the denominational confusion
existing in our world today. The name Christian
means Belonging to Christ, a name
acceptable to all, not devisive or sectarian. It
is used in our name because the congregation has
no denominational affliation, and desires to be
known as a church belonging to Christ. We seek
to follow the Biblical pattern in all things, our
conversion and practices as a church. In keeping
with the practice of the early church, we have
communion (the Lord's Supper) every first day of
the week. Acts 20:7 We select Elders Acts
14:23 and Deacons I Timothy 3:8-12
from among our eligible membership, who serve our
congregation. We acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord
and seek to obey Him in all things.

TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN TODAY:
The membership is composed of those who believe
in Jesus Christ, have repented of their sins,
confessed Him before others, and have been
baptized. (By immersion Acts 2:38, Romans
6:4-6) |
 
|
| At the close of each service, we
give an opportunity for those who desire to
accept Christ to do so. If you desire to become a
Christian, please come forward as we sing the
invitation hymn. You will be asked, "Do you
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the
Living God?" Upon confessing your faith in
Christ, you will be baptized. TO TRANSFER
MEMBERSHIP TO THIS CONGREGATION:
Those who are immersed believers in Christ and
desire to become members of Elm Street Christian
Church should come forward during the singing of
the invitation hymn and state their intention.
