About Maplewood Church of Christ
-
The Maplewood Church of Christ has been serving the Cahokia area since 1952. We have enjoyed growth and have sorrowed over dear losses over the years. We are God fearing believers who strive to follow in the footsteps of Jesus: "...love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another..." John 13:34-35 (ESV); and in accordance with His teachings through the Apostles instructions "...faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love..." I Corinthians 13:13 (ESV)
This love, as Jesus loved us, is one of sacrifice and servanthood. As the Apostles instruct us "...Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things,hopes all things, endures all things..." I Corinthians 13:4-7 (ESV)
As baptized believers of God and followers of Jesus, His only son, we worship in spirit and truth: Worldly and religious "me-to" trends, activities, entities, etc. are all discouraged to insure worship to God is pure and uninfluenced by the world. You can expect Biblical worship that includes singing; prayer; partaking of the Lord's supper in unity; Bible study for spiritual growth, encouragement, and enlightenment: - all purposed for the assembly of Christians.
To/for those seeking to know God and His way - we offer and provide individual Bible study and online Bible correspondence courses (through www.worldbibleschool.org). We provide a community outreach to encourage those seeking the Lord.
