We are a congregation or a local church of Christ. These are commonly referred to in the New Testament. We see the church at Jerusalem (Acts 11:22), the church at Antioch (Acts 13:1), the church at Corinth (1 Cor 1:2), and many others. Sometimes we see references to multiple congregations of a particular region such as the churches of Galatia (Gal 1:2) or the churches in Judea (1 Th 2:14). We even see churches called by the owner of the house where they met such as the church that meets in the house of Aquila and Prisca (Rom 16:3-5).
The East Valley Church of Christ (Or the church that meets at 3701 W. Broadway Avenue) is simply a group of Christians who assemble together to perform the work of the church as we understand it from scripture. Sometimes that work is to worship or praise God. Sometimes it is bible study. At other times, the work is to share our possessions with those in need. Still other times, it is just to be together and share the struggles of our life for the purpose of encouragement.
In all we do, our goal is to build up the body of Christ.
…but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
(Eph 4:15-16)
