Anderson Church of Christ

Why I love the Anderson Church of Christ….

"It was a shot in the dark.  Originally we didn’t know exactly what kind of response we might receive.  We were looking for ideas.  In the process of developing an advertising DVD for the church here we just thought we’d ask, “Why do YOU attend the Anderson church of Christ?”  We thought that from a few responses we might come up with things that would be attractive to outsiders.  Were we ever surprised!  What we received was a heartwarming response.  Almost every family in the congregation had something to say and many had several spokespeople.  From ages 9 to 70, here are the unedited expressions from the family member of the Anderson church of Christ as to why they chose THIS church family to be part of (and why you might consider visiting with us if you live in the local area)."

"I love the Anderson church of Christ because you pray for people in their times of need."

"I attend the church of Christ because of my faith in God and my love for my brothers and sisters in Christ (and to listen to Carl’s sermons.  He is full of knowledge.) editors note.  Obviously this is a deeply spiritual and discerning member of the body here."
