Jefferson Church Of Christ
Welcome Home!
What is your mission statement and the vision of the church?

The mission of JCC is to see that those who are lost in the world are won to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; that those who have been won to Christ are built up into maturity in Him, that those who are mature in Christ are sent out into the world to change the world for Christ.

 

Our vision is:

 

        Seek...to Save           Strengthen...to Serve           Send...to Share


What does your church believe?

We are a non-denominational church whose only authority is the Bible, God’s Word.

 

WE BELIEVE:

  • Each person was created by God for His glory and His purposes.


  • Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God, who died for our sins and rose from the dead.


  • The Bible is the inspired word of God.


  • Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord.


  • Those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him.


  • The Church is the body of Christ on earth empowered by the Holy Spirit.


  • We are a diverse group of people united in our essential beliefs, and it is our desire to follow Christ wherever he leads us.

What is your church's history?

In 1877 a group of about 50 people with a vision for planting a new church met together under the big oak tree across the street from our present campus. Out of that original group, Jefferson Church of Christ was established.

 

Through the years, the church has seen many changes and has grown as God continues to be at work. This church community is committed to serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and taking His message of salvation to the world – here in our community through church planting and outreach events and throughout the rest of the world by sending and supporting missionaries. We continue to follow Christ as He leads with a great vision for the future.


What can I expect in my first 11 minutes at Jefferson Church of Christ?

Eleven minutes seems like an insignificant amount of time, but at Jefferson, we believe every minute counts.  So the most important thing you will notice is the warmth and friendliness of your fellow worshippers.  Most folks tell us that they just feel “at home” when they visit with us. 

 

There will be official greeters to welcome you and provide you with a bulletin and any information you may need regarding children’s programming and directions or whatever you might need to know.  Most likely there will be many unofficial greeters to make you feel welcome as well.

 

Important information will usually be projected on the screen above the center of the stage between services for your convenience.  Help yourself to a cup of coffee in our hospitality area located on the second floor of the Family Life Center.  Make yourself at home. 


How should I dress?
Please feel free to come as you are.  Most people will dress kind of business casual, though we have many who wear jeans as well as those who dress in coat and tie.  There is no dress code.  Modesty is always a consideration. 

Will I be recognized as a visitor?
No.  We have all visited other churches and understand the needs of those who wish to stay out of the spotlight as visitors.  You will likely be asked, in a general way, to fill out a visitor card, titled “We're Glad You’re Here,” and drop it in the offering plate as it passes by, but it is entirely up to you.
