Skyline church of Christ

About Us


 
 

Our Members


        Our congregation is made up of about 170 individuals with about 70 of those being under the age of 18!  We are unique in that we have a many young families willing to show up and put in work all to the glory of God.  We have a variety of different roles that are filled by many different people including bible class teachers, workers, ladies day and shower team members and coordinators, ladies bible class organizers, meal train coordinators, out reach group members and leaders, etc.  
       We have two ministers, Jonathan Bates (Pulpit) and Caleb Bates (Youth).  Skyline is overseen by 3 qualified Elders, Ken McVay, Chris Carter, and Mike Willis, who shepherd our congregation steadfastly.  We are blessed to be tirelessly served by 10 Deacons. 
 

Our Beliefs


        The Bible teaches that when one actively believes in Christ, by turning away from sin and being immersed in water, God adds that person to the saved body of Christ (Acts 2:36-41).  Scripture also describes the true church as being “one body” (Ephesians 4:4).  “For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body” (I Corinthians 12:13).  We believe and teach that the true church consists of every redeemed sinner who has been gracefully added to the one body of Christ through total submission to God’s Word.
        Are you part of the one body that Scripture describes?  Do you realize your role in putting Christ to death?  Are you determined to turn away from sin and submit fully to God’s Word?  Are you willing to confess your belief in Jesus Christ as your Savior?  Have you been baptized into water for the forgiveness of your sins?  If not, then you have yet to actively believe.  We know that inactive belief does not lead to salvation, “for even the demons believe” (James 2:19). If you truly believe the Bible is God’s Message for you, then your attention and submission to that Message is surely crucial!  Only when you submit your life to God will He add you to the church His Son died to redeem and claim. Our prayer is that you will actively believe, becoming part of Christ’s one body!

Our Worship


        It's our desire to worship in harmony with God’s Word.  Visitors are always impressed by the unique beauty of Scriptural worship.  Our purely vocal singing emphasizes the heart, mirroring the careful practice of the early church (Ephesians 5:19).  Our weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper centers hearts and minds on the essence of the Gospel every single Sunday (I Corinthians 11:23-34).  Freewill offerings allow us to contribute to the cause of the Lord’s church without making visitors feel forced to give  (I Corinthians 16:2; II Corinthians 9:7).  All of this, along with congregational prayer and lessons preached from Scripture, make up our worship each and every first day of the week.  After, bible classes are offered for all ages and cover a variety of topics.  Children and adults alike will grow as they open God’s Word and interact with others.
        We would love for you to come visit us at Skyline Church of Christ!  Our church family finds great strength in diversity and consists of all ages, personalities, talents and professions.  When you visit, you will find friendly Christians engaged in uplifting worship.
