Reader-Recommended Churches

I often receive requests from readers for the name of a recommended Church of Christ in their area. This is a compilation of the recommendations made by readers over the years. I am not personally familiar with all these churches.

Obviously, there are many excellent churches not on this list, either because readers haven’t asked for recommendations in that area or the readers just weren’t familiar with a particular congregation.

As a rule, I only add a church recommended via the comments, as this gives the other readers the chance to comment on the wisdom of the recommendation.

    Jay,

    You have a san antonio, TX church listed under oklahoma.

    And "Almeda" should be "Alameda." Alameda has an excellent counseling program by the way. They have two (last time i checked) licensed counselors on staff who counsel full time to anyone in church or community on a sliding scale charge (UBER cheap, if necessary).

    I would like to add to this list under 'Texas' congregations Southside church of Christ in Killeen, Texas. I received a tremendous amount of spiritual development in my years there. Keith Cormier and the members are a loving and diverse body and I miss them dearly. However, I enjoy having returned home to Raleigh, NC and the church of my youth, South Central church of Christ (formerly known as Rochester Heights church of Christ). Thanks for this listing Brother Jay and your voice.

  16. Jay Guin says:

    I’ve added Southside to the list. Thanks for the name. Judging by their website, they look to be quite an impressive congregation.

  17. I'm biased Jay. I have been reading your blog for a while and been blessed by the deep thought. There is push here to be Biblical and Jesus Centered. Salvation by grace through faith is a constant theme I read. I thank God for this.
    I'm biased about this church have preached here 28 years, but I would like to have Southeast Church of Christ in Aurora, CO added to your list.
    Thanks
    Larry Wishard

    Thanks. I’ve added to the list. (Shouldn’t you be in bed?)

  22. Anne says:

    Wow we're on the list! I would identify my church family, but then I would lose my anonymity.

  23. Bob Belville says:

    Hickory (NC) Church of Christ.

  24. Jay Guin says:

    Bob,Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve added them to the list.I just realized that it’s been a year or so since anyone asked me to recommend a church. I used to get requests all the time. The list must be serving to help people find new church homes.That’s only possible because of good recommendations. Thanks.

  25. Royce says:

    The Southlake Blvd church in Southlake, Texas is now a campus of The HIlls (formerly North Richland Hills) and is now called The Hills at Southlake. In fact I saw that Rick Atchley preached twice there this past Sunday.

  26. Jay Guin says:

    Thanks, Royce. I’ve updated the site.

  27. Jeff Hammack says:

    I whole-heartedly recommend the Missouri Street Church of Christ in West Memphis, Arkansas. I have been close friends with the minister, Mike Seale, for more than 35 years. I don’t live in the area, nor am I member of the CofC, but when I visit Mike and “MOST,” I am always greeted by the parishoners with great love and warmth; and Mike’s sermons are always thoughtful, exegetically sound, and passionately conveyed from one who truly seeks the heart of Jesus.

  28. Jay Guin says:

    Jeff,

    I’ve added MOST to the list. And thanks for the suggestion. (I’m a little embarrassed they weren’t already there.)

  29. Jeff Hammack says:

    Thanks, Jay! Mike speaks very highly of your website and has sent the link before but this occassion was non-spiritual – he sent the link for the Bama Ark highlight video – Roll Tide!

  30. Jay Guin says:

    SD,

    Thanks! At last an entry from Mississippi. Surely there should be more …

  31. Orion says:

    http://www.eastsidechurch.us/

    I see Colorado is missing from your list and would like to add Eastside Church of Christ in Colorado Springs.

    We have a great staff with Patrick Mead as preaching minister, Matt Elliott as worship minister and Bobby Crews as youth minister. God is being glorified.

    Come visit us on your next vacation to this beautiful state.

  32. Jay Guin says:

    Delighted to add your congregation — and say “hello” to Patrick and Matt for me! Matt was our first youth minister (and an incredible worship leader) and Patrick has spoken here more than once. Good folks …

  33. Jonathan Wood says:

    I would highly recommend Maury Hills Church in Columbia, Tennessee and Northlake Church of Christ in Atlanta, Georgia. Both are progressive, grace filled churches.

    Any recommendations in Western North Carolina, near Asheville?

  34. Jay Guin says:

    Jonathan,

    I’ve added both churches, as well as Holland Park Church of Christ in Simpsonville, SC.

    Sorry, but I don’t know any churches in the western area of NC not already on the list. Maybe some of the other readers can help.

  35. Tim says:

    I’d like to add Clear Creek Church of Christ in Chattanooga, TN to the list.

  36. Jay Guin says:

    Tim,

    Done. Thanks for the suggestion!

  37. Tom Cadmus says:

    Jay;
    My wife and I were on a trip in NW Virginia; worshipped at Church of Christ at
    MountainView in Winchester, Virginia. Awesome people…..please add. Thanks.

  38. Jay Guin says:

    Tom,

    Thanks. They’ve been added.

  39. Susan Durette says:

    Are there any recommendations for churches in Albuquerque, NM or the Tijeras, NM area from your readers? I would appreciate any comments. Thank you.

  40. Chris Allen says:

    I’m surprised Otter Creek Church in the Nashville area isn’t on the list. Also, not that it matters for anything but accuracy, but the Ethos Church in Nashville is instrumental.

  41. Cornerstone Church of Christ in Thomasville, GA

  42. Jay Guin says:

    Jason,

    I’ve added Cornerstone to the list, but the URL you provided doesn’t work. The link is to one of two Facebook pages for Cornerstone. I hope it’s the right one. I can’t find an actual webpage on Google.

  43. Gregory Alan Tidwell says:

    Jay;

    I appreciate your compiling a list of congregations which line up with your Progressive faction. If I had published such a list of Progressive congregations you would have been at the forefront condemning my divisiveness.

    I believe the list you have compiled has great value.

    For those of us who continue to believe and practice what we have always believed and practiced, these are congregations to avoid. For those of you who have exchanged your earlier convictions for new convictions (or for a lack of conviction, as we have seen in New Wineskins’ Universalism), these congregations will suit nicely.

    Best Always,

    GATidwell

  44. gt says:

    Greg, in all fairness Jay didnt mention these as being necessarily “Progressive” churches. I’m familiar with many of these congregations and I feel you would be comfortable worshiping with them. I’m not sure what the litmus test for “Progressive” is.
    My sister worships at Saturn Road in Texas and I dont think that is their reputation.

  45. Charles McLean says:

    Greg wrote: “If I had published such a list of Progressive congregations you would have been at the forefront condemning my divisiveness.

    I believe the list you have compiled has great value. For those of us who continue to believe and practice what we have always believed and practiced, these are congregations to avoid.”

    Holy “invisible beam in the eye”, Batman!

    And you COMPLAIN that someone might consider you divisive? Greg, what else can anyone possibly think after they read your post? If someone else accused you, I would have to hold my own assessment in abeyance. But since you (1) choose to post for no other reason than to declare your division from other CoC’s and (2) declare your avoidance of those from whom you’ve divided, your own words make your divisiveness clear.

    To clarify something here, making distinctions is not necessarily divisive. A cowboy can observe that both cowboys and Indians eat at this restaurant. It only becomes divisive when he adds, “You may want to eat with Indians, but I don’t.”

    I am a charismatic, and I fellowship with both charismatics and fundamentalists. We are different, but I do not hold myself apart from fundamentalists on that basis. That is a distinction without division. Sadly, there are a few folks still out there for whom distinction REQUIRES division. “My four and no more.” These folks are shrinking islands in a rising sea.

    As to convictions– When I was a child I had certain convictions, like girls having cooties, and that the tooth fairy was real (and cheap), and that the consumption of asparagus was deadly. I have since exchanged some of my earlier convictions for better ones. It’s called growing up. And it is a lifetime project. A man who learns nothing after age 20 of enough significance as to change any of his existing convictions is not sanctified; he is merely ossified.

  46. Jay Guin says:

    Greg,

    I’ve been in the hospital the last several days coping with kidney issues, and so I’ve not been able to respond until now. I’m finally at home, convalescing.

    This particular page is not a list of congregations aligned with a particular perspective. It is, as the page has said from its inception, a listing of congregations recommended by the readership.

    From the beginnings of this blog, I’ve had readers request recommendations for churches to consider as they’ve moved to new communities. I’ve often asked the readers for their advice, as my knowledge of the churches in most towns is fairly limited.

    If you were to review the old posts here, you’d find several where I asked the readership on behalf of a reader for church recommendations in city A or B.

    It would be futility for a reader to ask for a “progressive” Church of Christ, as the term lacks a useful definition. And in fact it’s difficult to pin down the working theology of many congregations.

    I recently had a preacher in search of a new congregation ask me how to tell whether a church is progressive. I could offer little guidance. After all, churches are living beings that are in constant change. The preacher’s theology and the elders’ theology are sometimes not the same or may be in the process of reconsideration or maturation. And the congregation may well be more or less mature than its leadership.

    In short, this is not a roll of churches that agree with or support my views. It is exactly what it purports to be: a compilation of recommendations from the readers given to other readers who’ve asked for recommendations.

  47. FactChecker says:

    Not sure this is a fight worth having, but let’s at least give due regard to the facts. For the record, at the time of Mr. Tidwell’s posting, the URL for this page was “progressive-church-of-christ-congregations”. It has since been renamed to “recommended-church-of-christ-congregations”. (See here for a Google cache of the old page, for however long it lasts.) Not to be snarky, but it would seem the term “progressive” had a useful enough definition four days ago.

  48. Jay Guin says:

    Factchecker,

    From the inception of the page, it’s been exactly what it says it is. In fact, it’s a compilation of recommendations from readers of this blog — who are from all segments of the Churches of Christ. I have readers who are one cup, premillennial, no Sunday school, non-institutional, mainstream, charismatic, emerging — you name it. Because the blog is focused on unity within God’s kingdom, it has attracted a readership from across the entire Church of Christ spectrum.

    The churches listed are as recommended by the readers. I am familiar with only a handful myself. They represent no faction and I’m sure do not necessarily endorse this site or my views. Rather, some who read this blog endorse those churches. Those churches should be proud to be recommended by such good people.

    I have confidence in the readership to make thoughtful recommendations to their fellow readers, guided by the Golden Rule and their own experiences and understandings of the scripture.

    I’ve been digging around to trace the origins of the URL, as I had forgotten that “progressive” was in it until looking at the site this morning. Suffice to say, the URL was created by operator error. I discovered the problem sometime after the page was created, but the WordPress version available to me when I posted the page did not allow me to change URLs (or if it did, I didn’t know how to do it), and I gave the URL no thought until this morning. In the 16 months the page has been up, the URL attracted no attention from the readership — who would have certainly objected to characterizing all the listed churches as “progressive.”

    I noticed the URL this morning, I suspected the URL was causing some confusion, the version of WordPress I now have makes it easy to change it, and so I changed it. But the links to the page and text descriptions of the page have never referred to “progressive” Churches of Christ. In fact, I suspect there are many churches on the list who would not meet most definitions of “progressive.”

  49. Please add to your list.

  50. Jay Guin says:

    Robert,

    Brad,

    They’re added. Thanks for the recommendation.

  62. I’d like to recommend the Monmouth Church of Christ, if possible. Caveat emptor: I am the minister at this church, but I feel compelled to recommend it because there are no others listed in NJ and we really are quite progressive! 🙂

    http://monmouthchurch.org

  63. Jay Guin says:

    Glad to add the Monmouth congregation. Thanks!

    JW,

    Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve added them to the list.

  73. Rick Guyer says:

    I suggest that you add Heartlands church in Lincoln, NE. Jim Tuttle is the preaching minister there, and they are about ready to move into a new building.

  74. Jay Guin says:

    Rick,

    Happy to add Heartland to the list — and to finally have a church in Nebraska listed.

  75. Elleta Wilson says:

    buckeye chuck,

    Done. I just worry about the risk of subjecting good Alabama Christian folk to Ohio State-mania. I might ought to post a warning.

  81. Sunny Hills Church of Christ

  82. Richard constant says:

    Thanks for the list J I might be going to that Sunny Hills Church of Christ in Fullerton that would be in California I’m having to move this week .
    last week I work so hard I couldn’t think past my nose. not that the work is hard although it’s been very hot in California. I don’t want anyone to get the idea that I work hard. I’m pretty much semi retired. & I know what hard work is. You have to remember I’m a retired carpenter.
    So I’ve been pretty busy but I have been reading all of your post. I’m sure you’ll keep up the good work without me but if I think of anything that I would like to say I’ll put it on a post .
    in any event blessings J.
    Regards rich constant

  83. Jay, please add Central Church of Christ in Amarillo, Texas to your list.

    http://www.amarillocentral.org

    Thanks, brother!

    Peace,
    Allan Stanglin

  84. Jay Guin says:

    Allan,

    1. Done.
    2. I grew up spending summers in Amarillo. My cousins grew up there. My mother is from Pampa. Attended UT.
    3. I’ve eaten at the Big Texan Steak Ranch. Almost ordered the calf fries, and learned what they are just in time. Otherwise, a most excellent meal.

  85. Ambrose Ramsey says:

    Jay,
    Please add The Tammany Oaks Church of Christ in Mandeville, LA. Some people you know – my brother, John, and his wife, Rosemary, are on their way here now for Thanksgiving.

  86. Jay Guin says:

    Ambrose,

    I’ve made the addition. Enjoy your time with John, Rosemary, and children.

    PS — I wouldn’t let Rosemary in unless she brought one of her homemade apple desserts.

    We taught a teen group together several years ago. That woman is a desert artist.

    Largest congregation is 525. Smallest appears to be about 18.

  95. Jay Guin says:

    Kevin,

    I did not know about ChurchZip. A lot of the data is out of data or duplicated, but still very helpful. I’ve added a link. Thanks!

  96. Jay Guin says:

    Adam,

    Done. Thanks for the recommendation. Interesting website.

    I don’t know if they’ll be happy with me telling on them, but I worked in Mississippi for 3 months and worshiped with these guys. They were fantastic. They were always up to some good things and had an impressive diversity. http://www.lakeharbourcoc.org/. They are Lake Harbor Church of Christ in Ridgeland, MS (just north of Jackson, MS)

    Another amazing place I found was Church in the Falls in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. (churchinthefall.org). They dropped the “of Christ” from their name in the 1980’s. They have an instrumental and a non-instrumental service on Sundays.

    sakuchristian,

    Thanks for the recommendations. I’ve added to the list — and thank you especially for providing the links. It’s much easier for me to add a church when a reader does that!

    Sunny Hills Church of Christ in Fullerton, CA.
    A LOVING Christ-centered church family.

  103. Jay F Guin says:

    Randy,

    Sunny Hills is added. Thanks for the recommendation.

  104. I would like to recommend the Elmwood Church of Christ in Lafayette, Indiana. An excellent congregation that loves and serves in their community. They also have a student center on the Purdue University campus.

  105. The website for the Elmwood, Indiana, church is http://www.elmwood-church.org/wp/

  106. Jay F Guin says:

    Elmwood has been added. Thanks for the recommendation. It’s about time we got a recommendation for an Indiana church.

  107. Mike Stidham says:

    I would strongly commend Fairview Heights Church of Christ in Fairview Heights, IL (St. Louis metropolitan area), especially to those who may be relocating to Scott AFB and looking for a friendly and moderately progressive church. Website http://fairviewheightschurch.org
