ABOUT EAGLE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
WELCOME TO EAGLE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
We are glad you have joined us today to
worship. We want you to know that we have
prayerfully planned this time together and
that we do “church” on purpose.
Our mission is to reach people with the
gospel message of Jesus Christ, teach people
to become devoted disciples of His, equip
people for acts of service, and send them
into ministry.
As you join us today, we ask that you, also,
be intentional in your worship of God and
purposefully focus on your relationship with Him.
— In His Service, Dr. Steven A. Crane
Today’s Service
Celebration of Praise and Worship
As a Christian church we do not claim to be the only Christians,
or the only church, but we will seek simply to be known as
Christians without a denominational label. We do not see
ourselves as better than anyone else, but as a group of Christian
people dedicated to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
We seek the unity of all people on the basis of confession and
commitment to “Jesus Christ as Lord.” Our hope is to unite all
Christians under the authority of Jesus Christ and pattern our lives
after the Word of God.
Thank you for joining us for this informal time of Worship and
Bible study as we grow together in Christ.
We Believe . . .
n
That Jesus is God’s Son and our Savior.
n
That the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
n
In the physical death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
n
That we are saved by grace through faith and there is nothing
one can do to save himself.
n
In baptism by immersion for penitent believers.
n
In the second coming of Christ.
Join us as we enter God’s presence and celebrate His goodness.
Communion
If you are a Christian, please join us as we remember Christ’s
sacrifice for our sins. Take a stack of cups as the emblems are
passed, and participate when you are ready.
