<p>Welcome to this four lesson series on evangelism that draws on our  evangelistic heritage in the ARP Church. Do you realize that freely  offering the gospel to sinners is one of the leading characteristics of  our founders? As Stephen Myers writes, “In its earliest days, the group  that would become the ARP Church was known nation-wide as the  evangelistic wing of the Church!”</p>

<p>&#8220;<em>Commending What We Cherish</em> was  a helpful four-week elective class that we at Greenville ARP Church  used during our Summer Sunday School.  With each of the four lessons,  the historical background and Scripture study provided a good foundation  for the thought-provoking questions that followed.  The background  helped us see &#8220;what was&#8221;; the Scriptures helped see &#8220;what should be&#8221;;  and the questions helped us see &#8220;what is&#8221;.  In addition to a small-group  setting like Sunday School, this course would be a very beneficial  study for a Session to undertake, enabling the elders and pastors to  evaluate how well their churches cherish the gospel of Christ.&#8221; Rev. David Griffin</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The following is written by a man who had not entered a church in nearly forty years and had no interest in God. Not too long ago, he came to Christ Church (an ONA mission congregation) and his life has profoundly changed. He often testifies to the work of grace in his life. Truly the words of the hymn “Amazing Grace” could be his own. For him, Christ Church is not just a church, it is home. He wrote the following article for the folks in Denver, NC to invite them to come to his church.</strong></p>
<p>Christ Church is a sanctuary with a Christian message that welcomes all individuals and families. Members and guests with backgrounds and lives as diverse as our surrounding communities join together each Sunday morning for worship. They create a wonderful Christian family with common interests and purpose under one roof.</p>
<p>Christ Church is also a place of unity in spiritual growth and understanding of God and those who trust in Him. Unity offers an opportunity to join with others in celebrating and exploring the assurance of God’s grace and the promise of eternal salvation.</p>
<p>Under the guidance and leadership of Rev. Morrie Lawing, members and guests experience the Word of God and the promise of God’s infinite love for us. After our Sunday worship, adults and children are invited to participate in Bible studies that provide a sound foundation of faith. These classes are led by congregational lay-leaders who help guide participants in understanding and becoming more familiar with the Bible’s application for everyday living. During the week we also have separate men’s and women’s Bible studies that focus on knowing God.</p>
<p>Christ Church is much more than simply a Sunday center of spiritual worship!  It is a place and a people encouraging a personal growth in confidence for living in the comfort of God’s love and His Word. This means that Christ Church is providing a community service every day of the week and for people of all ages.  Please join us at Christ Church Sunday for worship at 9:30 am.</p>
