We’d love to have you worship with us at Columbia Church of Christ! Whether you’re visiting for the first time or looking for a church home, we want you to feel welcome. Our worship is simple, centered on God’s Word, and focused on honoring Him. Here’s what you can expect when you visit.
Worship Times: Sunday: 9:30 AM & 6:00 PM, Wednesday: 6:30 PM
You’re welcome to park in either of the parking lots, located to the left or right of the building. When you enter through the main doors, you’ll find the auditorium straight ahead, and the restrooms are to your right. Feel free to sit wherever you feel most comfortable—we’re just happy you’re here!
Our worship is simple, heartfelt, and rooted in the New Testament. Each service includes prayer, singing, communion, giving, and Bible-based preaching, all focused on honoring God and strengthening our faith.
We sing a cappella as a congregation, lifting our voices together in praise. This is a beautiful way to worship, uniting us in song and spirit.
When you visit, you’ll be welcomed with open hearts and friendly faces. There’s no pressure—just come as you are and know that we’re glad you’re here!
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” – Colassians 3:16
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” – Colassians 3:16
“Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, ○ Prayer.” – Ephesians 5:19
Throughout the service, one of the men of our congregation will lead us in prayer. During these times, it’s common for people to bow their heads and close their eyes as a sign of respect, but it’s not required. The most important thing is to focus on the prayer and what’s being said. The rest of the congregation will be praying silently along with the one leading the prayer, joining together in spirit.
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” – 1 Timothy 2:1-2
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” – Phillippians 4:6
A meaningful part of our worship is when we remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us through communion, also called the Lord’s Supper. Each Sunday, we gather around the table to partake in this special time because Jesus instructed His disciples to eat the bread in remembrance of His body, broken for our sins, and to drink the “fruit of the vine” in remembrance of His blood, shed for us.
We use unleavened bread and grape juice for communion because we believe this reflects what the early Christians used. While the Lord’s Supper is shared each week, it is open to all Christians, whether you’re a regular member or a visitor.
“Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.“ – Matthew 26:26-28
“On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.” – Acts 20:7
During our worship service, we will take an offering from our members, which happens right after communion. This is a part of our worship each Sunday.
The contributions are overseen by the men of our congregation and are used to support evangelism and benevolence, both locally and around the world. As a guest, there is no expectation for you to contribute—simply pass the collection plate to the next person when it’s offered.
If you’re visiting with us, we’d love to have a record of your visit! Please feel free to fill out the visitor’s card in the rack on the back of the seat in front of you and place it in the collection plate when it’s passed.
“Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.” – 1 Corinthians 16:1-2
Each Sunday you’ll hear a lesson based on the Bible. Our full-time minister, Nick Pace, or our Youth Minister, Weston Stone, will share a message with the congregation that lasts about 30 minutes. At the end of the lesson, there will be an invitation for anyone who wants the prayers of the church or desires to be baptized to come forward. While we sometimes refer to this as “the invitation,” it’s important to remember that God’s invitation to obey Him is always open.
To become a Christian, a person must believe the good news about Jesus, repent of their sins (which simply means turning away from sin), confess their belief in Jesus, and be baptized to have their sins washed away.
“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.” – 2 Timothy 4:1-4
You’re invited to stay for Bible class immediately after worship! We offer classes for all ages, so there’s something for everyone. On Sundays, Bible classes begin around 10:05 AM, right after our morning worship assembly. We have classes for everyone. On Wednesdays, we start by gathering in the auditorium for a few minutes before heading to our classes. At the end of class, we come back together for a brief devotional thought before we’re dismissed.
