Welcome to Eagle Christian Church About Eagle Christian Church

Welcome to Eagle Christian Church
We are glad you have joined us today to
worship. We want you to know that we have
prayerfully planned this time together and that
we do “church” on purpose.
Our mission is to reach people with the
gospel message of Jesus Christ, teach people
to become devoted disciples of His, equip
people for acts of service, and send them into
ministry.
As you join us today, we ask that you, also,
be intentional in your worship of God and
­purposefully focus on your relationship with Him.
In His Service, Steven A. Crane
Today’s Service
Celebration of Praise and Worship
Join us as we enter God’s presence and celebrate His goodness.
About Eagle Christian Church
As a Christian church we do not claim to be the only Christians, or the
only church, but we seek simply to be known as Christians without a
denominational label. We do not see ourselves as better than anyone
else, but as a group of Christian people dedicated to a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
We seek the unity of all people on the basis of confession and
commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord. Our hope is to unite all Christians
under the authority of Jesus Christ and pattern our lives after the Word
of God.
Thank you for joining us for this informal time of worship and Bible
study as we grow together in Christ.
We Believe
n
That Jesus is God’s Son and our Savior.
n
That the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
n
In the physical death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
n
That we are saved by grace through faith and there is nothing one can
do to save himself.
n
In baptism by immersion for penitent believers.
n
In the second coming of Christ.
Communion
If you are a Christian and would like to participate in the Lord’s Supper, we invite
you to partake of the emblems as they are passed.
Celebration of Giving
This portion of the service is for our church family. If you don’t normally attend,
please do not feel obligated to participate. Please place communication cards in
the offering trays as they are passed.
From the Word
Spiritual Commitment
We invite you to examine your life and make a personal commitment to the Lord.
At the closing, elders, staff, and members of our prayer team will be at the front
of the stage to pray with you.
