Who We Are
Christ’s church is not a denomination. It was not created by
men nor does it follow the creeds, doctrines, or philosophies of
men. We follow Christ, and our creed is the Bible, which is the
Word of God. You do not join Christ’s church; you are added to
it by Christ as you complete your obedience to His plan of
salvation.
At South Anchorage church of Christ you will find:
A Place for Friendship
Nothing quite compares to the joy of Christian friendship.
That is why we make it a priority to build lasting bonds between
the members of our church family – bonds of concern and genuine
commitment to one another. Best of all, this circle of care is
ever widening. We’d love for it to include you, too.
A Place for Learning
To us, studying the Bible is vital because it not only
instructs us intellectually, but also guides us spiritually. We
believe it and accept it as God’s Word to Man, a book that is
alive and relevant to life today. Learning its truths is a
thrilling adventure.
A Place for Enrichment
For every person at every age level we offer a wealth of
opportunities: special programs for children, youth and adults,
which fill the church calendar. You can be sure that in this
kaleidoscope of activities there is more one place where you can
be personally enriched.
A Place for Service
Just a Jesus Christ came “not to be ministered unto, but to
minister…” we accept our responsibility to reach our in service
to others. This applies both within the church family and
outside the church family.
A Place for Worship
The primary reason we meet together is to focus our attention
on God, giving Him our worship and receiving His blessings and
inspiration. Each of these occasions is a special time of
spiritual refreshment.
Our Major objective is to honor Christ, teaching the truth of
His Word so that everyone can have spiritual freedom. As people
who belong to Christ we would like to share with you a Bible
description of what Christ’s church is all about.

In worship you will notice:
We sing without musical instruments. The instrument used is
the heart.(Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16-17; Hebrews 2:12)
Observance of the Lord's supper every Lord's Day. (Acts

We pray. (Acts 2:42)
Preaching. (2 Timothy 4:1-2)
We give as we have prospered. (1 Corinthians

God's design for salvation is taught:
Must have faith. (Hebrews 11:6)
Must repent. (Luke 13:3)
Confess Christ to be the Son of
God. (Acts 8:37)
Immersed in water to wash
away our sins. (Acts 22:16)
Leadership in Christ's
church is:
First - elders,
overseers, bishops, or
pastors. (1 Timothy 3;
Titus 1; Acts 20:22-28)
Second - deacons. (1
Timothy 3)
In Christ's
church the minister
is not referred to
as a Pastor unless
he has met the
requirements of 1
Timothy 3 or Titus
1. The minister has
no more power than
just a regular
member of Christ's
church.
