We are a Bible centered, unified family of believers called to an ever-deepening relationship with Christ. We will pursue Christ through study, prayer, and fellowship. We recognize that we are sent to the larger community surrounding us to plant the seed of the Gospel and to demonstrate God's love and Christs life.
Council Bluffs Church of Christ is a congregation that is autonomous and overseen by our Elders: Bill Leinen, Ron Holcomb, and Marlyn Shafer. We simply want to be Christians, and that is the only name we claim. We believe the Bible to be the Word of God, and it is our sole authority in matter of spirituality and life.
People often ask, "How do I join?" or "How do I become a member of the Church?" Anyone who is a Christian can ask to be associated with this congregation. A Christian is a person saved by grace through faith. Grace comes freely from God. Faith is our trust that God will save us through His Son, Jesus.
Saving faith is demonstrated through belief, repentance, confession, and baptism. Obedient faith continues to be demonstrated through a life surrendered to the will of God.
At the McPherson Avenue Church of Christ we are truly a family, not just a gathering of strangers. You will find in us a group of real people trying to live Christian lives in a world where that can be very difficult. We are a close group who find comfort in each other's friendships. We know each, enjoy being together, and care for each other. As the goal here is to glorify God through His Son Jesus, and make our way to heaven-we encourage each other along this sometimes difficult road.
If you need a family...a friend...or a warm place to worship God-then we offer that to you! Just stop by for services, stick around after it is over, and let us get to know you and be able to show you the Lord's love.
If you are interested in placing membership, or have any questions, please talk with one of the elders or any of the staff. You can contact the office at 712-322-8147 or e-mail us at cobluffchurch@msn.com.
