About Ventura Church Of Christ
-
We are a nondenominational church that is simply made up of followers of Christ (Christians). We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and the Gospel is For All people.
On a typical Sunday morning, some of us get together around 9:00am for a coffee fellowship. We offer free bagels, donuts, coffee, and tea. This is a time where we can enjoy some good food and fellowship.
At 9:45 we separate into classes where we spend time studying Gods word. we offer classes for all ages. During classes we welcome comments and discussions on the subjects being studied that day.
At 11:00 we hold our worship service. In keeping with our effort to carefully follow the Bible, our worship consists only of those activities authorized by command or that we see an example of in the New Testament. Each week during our worship we observe the Lord's Supper as a memorial of our Savior's death (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:24-26).
We also praise God and edify one another through a cappella singing (Colossians 3:16), and offer prayers of supplication and thanksgiving (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
Through sermons we exhort one another to "continue steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine"(Acts 2:42).
We take up a collection so members can give as they have purposed in their hearts(1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
As a visitor, you are our guest, so please do not feel under any obligation to give.
Throughout our service, two principles govern all that we do: "Let all things be done for edification" (1 Corinthians 14:25)and "Let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Corinthians 14:40)
In addition to our Sunday morning classes and worship services, we have midweek Small Group in members homes and one at the Church Building on Wednesday evening at 7:00pm. We also have a men's Breakfast / Bible study on the last Saturday of each month as well as a monthly Woman's devotionals and youth devotionals.
Each of theses bible studies and devotional's offer an opportunity for your systematic study of God's Word. We are blessed to have a group of dedicated men and women who take their teaching of God's Word seriously and prepare their classes and devotional's accordingly.
There is a little something for everyone. Our young adults have a weekly game nights. Our senior saints have a monthly luncheon. We have teamed up with other congregations in Ventura and hold a monthly a cappella singing session where all are welcome to join in.
