Who We Are
The Elsmere Church of Christ is a ‘traditional New Testament church’ in mission, doctrine and behavior.  Our roots in this country are found in the 19th Century “Restoration Movement” whose purpose was to restore Christianity and the Church to what it was in the beginning in the 1st Century. 

The following is presented to let you know what to expect when you visit us.

Our Worship is Simple and Devout
Our services are conducted in a quiet, worshipful atmosphere. They are designed to draw the worshipers closer to God and to provide enduring Spiritual Strength. Our worship consists only of those elements which the New Testament reveals as having been used as worship by the church in the days of the apostles. We sing and pray, partake of the Lord's Supper (Communion), have the Word of God preached for our instruction, and give of our means for the spreading of the Gospel, and caring for others. In all of this we seek to maintain the attitude which Christ taught when He said: "God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship in Spirit and Truth." (John 4:24)

Our Authority Is The Bible Alone
Our source of authority is that which is found only in the inspired Scripture.  Therefore, we seek to be governed in all that we do by God's Holy Bible.  Since the Scriptures are sufficient for our every need (II Timothy 3:16-17), our preaching and teaching contains only that which is commanded in the Bible.

Our People Are Christians Only
The division in the religious world today is far different from the unity enjoyed by the original Christians, before traditions and distinctive names divided them. Believing such division to be contrary to the Scriptures, we have no denominational organization, name, doctrine or creed. Following the teachings of Christ and His apostles, individually we are known as Christians, collectively as the Church of Christ.

In His Name
We  offer, to all that are willing, a personal opportunity to work in our ministries to provide help for the people of our community and people throughout the world. Our programs are designed to satisfy both material and spiritual needs.

You Will Find A Friendly Spirit
We believe that friendliness is a natural attitude among people who truly love God. Our visitors, who always receive a warm welcome, appreciate the courtesy and cordiality of the Christians at Elsmere. We truly hope you will accept our invitation to meet with us soon. You will benefit by coming.  

Where We Meet
We worship, study and fellowship in a beautiful stained glass building at 124 Carlisle Ave in Elsmere Kentucky (off Dixie Highway, first street south of Garvey  on the left). We would like to invite you to come and visit with us.
