A Visitor’s Guide
The Hartsville Pike Church of Christ invites you to attend our services. We love visitors and want you to feel comfortable when you come, so here is a brief summary of what you can expect from a typical service. Our worship is simple, and we assemble every Lord’s Day (Acts 20:7; Revelation 1:10), following the teaching of the New Testament.
- Praying: We are led by different men in our congregation (1 Timothy 2:1-8)
- Singing: The congregation joins in praising God in song without the use of musical instruments or acapella (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16). The words and music are available in our songbooks and also on the screen in the auditorium. Guests are welcome and encouraged to join us in singing.
- Taking Communion: Every Sunday, we remember Christ’s death with unleavened bread and fruit of the vine (Acts 20:7). We reflect that God loved us enough to give His own Son to die for us.
- Preaching: We will enjoy a Bible lesson by our minister or guest speaker lasting about 30 minutes (Acts 2:42; Romans 10:14).
- Giving: The members here contribute weekly to the work of the church (1 Corinthians 16:2). We do not ask or expect our guests to give anything in the offering.
Wednesday night Bible Study
Every Wednesday night has been set aside for mid-week Bible study for all ages. This time is used to study God’s word and to encourage each other in our daily walk with God. Meeting mid-week for study and praise gives a ‘spiritual boost” to our souls, and we also welcome guests on Wednesday. In our classes you can expect to study the Bible, grow in faith and encourage one another (Hebrews 10:24-25). Mid-week also can help maintain that Christian light for which we strive (Matthew 5:16).
