Who We Are

1st Century... 

Greenbank Church of Christ attempts to follow the teachings of the Bible in a manner with how churches did in the 1st century – as best as we understand. Sunday worship service includes communion, a cappella singing, Bible based sermon, prayer and scripture reading.

Communion 1st day of week...

Communion is performed every first day of the week or Sunday as described in Acts 20:7 and is performed as instituted by Jesus as described in Matthew 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24 and Luke 22:19-20. Performed on the first day of the week, as Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week.

Bread & Cup...

Communion includes eating unleavened bread and drinking grape juice. The unleavened bread represents Jesus’ body where in the Bible leaven or yeast represents sin and Jesus’ lived a perfect life and did not sin. The grape juice represents Jesus’ blood which cleanses us from our sin as noted in 1 John 1:7. 

Singing...

Singing beautiful, uplifting, worshipful songs a cappella without the use of musical instruments.

God's Word...

Bible based preaching, teaching and scripture reading as “All Scripture is God-breathed and useful…” as noted in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” as noted in Psalm 119:105.

Prayer...

Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer and gave us examples of how to pray. Prayer includes but is not limited to: praise for God, kingdom petitions, God's will, requests for daily needs, forgiveness of ourselves, our forgiveness of others and deliverance from evil.
