Our Sunday School:

We have classes for all ages!

Our Worship Service:

During our worship service we take part in the Lord's Supper. In Acts 2:42 we see that the Lord's Supper has a prominent part in the worship of the early disciples. By comparing Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:1,2 we discover that when the disciples met it was to partake of the Lord's Supper, and it was custom to meet every Lord's Day.

Children's Church:

After we partake of the Lord's Supper and take up the tithes and offerings, the children 9 and under go and have a lesson and work on some art, and sing.

The Position of the Christian Churches
The Position of the Christian Churches

This congregation of the Beaver Creek Christian Church is striving to overcome the denominational confusion that exists today. We have no denominational headquarters, and we wear no denominational name. Our desire is to wear only the name of Christ, to proclaim only His Gospel, and to declare our loyalty to Him. Christ prayed for the unity of His followers, and this unity is possible if Christ is followed. His example must become our pattern of life, His Gospel our message, His commands our all in all as we seek to glorify God, the Father, who gave His only begotten Son for us.

Our claim is certainly not to be the only Christians, but our attempt is to be Christians only, for Christ and His Word are sufficient for all our needs.

If you would like more information about the Beaver Creek Christian Church, or becoming a Christian, please contact the Preacher or one of the Elders.

Our Plea:
Our Plea:

What do we preach? We plead for the unity of all followers of Christ. This was the ideal of Christ for his church. He prayed, "May they all be one; as thou, Father, are in me and I in thee".(John 17:21) This unity should not only be in spirit but in reality. It is to be like that between the Father and the Son - a unity in purpose, spirit, and practice, in which all "speak the same things."(I Cor. 1:10)

Our Purpose:

The reason that this unity is necessary is stated in the prayer of Jesus, "that they all may believe that thou hast sent me." (John 17:21)The world can be not be won till the followers of Christ are one.

Our Plan:

Yes, we have a plan by which this unity can be attained. It is not by an organizational union of existing denominations nor by human speculation. The only course is to return to the New Testament Christianity. For this we plead! The only basis for any Christian faith is the inspired word of God.

Baptism:

Baptism is a positive command. On the authority, subject, action and doing, the Scripture is plain. We do not believe baptism is any more important than faith, repentance, or good works. Nor do we believe there is any virtue in the water. But we do believe baptism is an act of obedience commanded by Christ in order to receive salvation.

What does it mean to be a member?
What does it mean to be a member?

Membership in the Beaver Creek Christian Church is the same as it was for churches of the New Testament; those who profess genuine faith in Jesus Christ as Savior as evidenced through repentance, confession, and baptism are considered saved, and therefore a part of Christ's Church (Acts 2:38-47). Leadership is composed of Elders and Deacons who meet the qualifications found in the Bible (I Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:5-9). Worship centers on the mighty acts of God in Christ - His death, burial, resurrection, and second coming, all of which are pictured in the celebration weekly of the Lord's Supper (Acts 20:7 ad I Corinthians 11:23-28). Fellowship exists among believers because of our common bond in Christ and is expressed in worship, giving, common meals, class functions, Bible studies, etc. with the purpose of helping us grow in Christ-likeness (Ephesians 4:11-16; II Timothy 3:14-17).
