The Wimberley church of Christ invites you to attend any of our services. Finding a place to connect and worship is so vital- especially in these times of disconnect going on in our world. The good news is that this world is not our home! We have a Savior who has already paid the price and has given us the grace and peace we crave. God the Father spoke all of existence into being, but when it came time to make man, He gathered together with His son and the Holy Spirit and said Let’s make man in OUR image and in OUR likeness. (Genesis 1:26-27)
Our desire is to help others grow and dig deeper into that relationship that has existed since creation. Come join us and be a part of this loving family that is learning and growing daily in His Word and in His image.
I’ m Nathan Hill, Minister @ WCOC and I believe that God can do anything and use anyone to fulfill His will if we let Him. I have been in ministry for 25 years, am blessed with a wonderful family and look forward to sharing the Gospel with this community.
We love having visitors and would be honored by your presence. We are a warm, friendly, and loving congregation, and we are sure you would feel welcome. We seek to follow the New Testament in all we do in our worship services. We aim to honor and glorify God in worshiping Him “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). As a congregation of the Lord’s Church, we seek to learn, grow, and love God and each other. We hope you will visit and allow us to get to know you.
God
We believe, first of all, that God is the Creator of all things. Again, how does one stop there when such a weighty, awe-inspiring statement demands so much more? But for brevity’s sake, we must push on. We believe that those who diligently seek Him are rewarded by Him in ways incomprehensible, with joy inexpressible, and with peace that passes understanding. Believing that the God who presents Himself to us in the Bible is the only true God, we devote ourselves to Him heart, body, and soul. He is our life. We believe that to honor Him, we must serve the needs of our fellow man with the same diligence and passion with which He does. We believe He gave His only begotten Son that we might live; His Son died on the cross so that our penalty might be paid; He extended mercy and grace at great sacrifice to Himself. We can and will do no less.
Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He came to earth to save us from our sins and reconcile us to God the Father. While on earth Jesus was God and man, we believe that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross for all mankind, providing the perfect sacrifice for our sins through the shedding of His blood.
We believe that He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the Father’s right hand, and will return in power and glory to receive His own.
Worship
To honor Him, we not only strive to offer Him our whole-life service every day of our lives, but we also offer Him our heartfelt worship. In accordance with His will, each first day of the week, we humbly and obediently assemble with fellow believers to sing praises to His name and sing songs, hymns, and spiritual songs to edify one another. In our worship, we offer Him our prayers of petition, thanksgiving, and supplication, asking that He bless us with wisdom to use for His glory all that He gives us. Our singing is acapella without the addition of instrumental music.
Every week, while assembled, we remember our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and proclaim his death until he returns by partaking in the Lord’s Supper. We give attention to the reading and teaching of His word so that our lives might be strengthened spiritually and that our spirits might be emboldened to carry out our God-given commission to go into all the world, teaching the good news of salvation and making disciples.
Also, upon the first day of the week, to support the works of His kingdom locally and throughout the world, we give back to Him financially as He has prospered us. We find instructions for these efforts to honor Him in the New Testament.
Salvation
As to doctrine, we have no creed but Christ. We believe the Holy Bible is just that, holy; it is inspired (from the very breath) of God. While we have brothers and sisters of precious faith worldwide, we are not connected to any earthly religious body or headquarters and only submit to the rule of Heaven itself.
To become a part of that body of believers, according to God’s word, one must come to know and trust the grace of the God of heaven by hearing the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). Having come to a faith-filled knowledge of Him and of His Son we know we cannot be in His eternal fellowship unless we are willing to turn from and put to death any passion for sin and choose to be His disciple (Luke 13:3; Romans 6:10).
Because Jesus is the Son of God and because God has made Him King of kings and Lord of lords, we willingly and passionately confess His name (Matthew 10:32-33, Romans 10:10) and submit to the washing away of the guilt of all past sins in the blood of Christ through the God-given medium of baptism (immersion) in water (Acts 2:38, 22:16).
After this new birth, we strive to walk with Him in light, looking to Him for guidance and asking for His forgiveness for our failures, which He mercifully and willingly gives (1 John 1:5-9).
The Church
We believe that all of Scripture is inspired by God and provides everything we need to live a life that pleases Him. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:3) Because of this, we strive to worship in the same way the first-century Church did when it was established by Christ and His Apostles. Our desire is simply the Bible in its entirety.
