Dear Friend and Neighbor,

Hi, my name is Nick Secula, and I am the minister with the Three Forks Church of Christ. I want to take just a moment of your time to introduce the wonderful family of God that meets here in the Three Forks community.

The Three Forks church of Christ is a group of Christians seeking and desiring to know and to live in the love of Jesus the Christ. We are a group of individuals and families here to encourage and to edify and here to express our thanksgiving and praise unto our God and Father.

We believe that God speaks to us through His word and that we find His word in the Holy Scriptures. We believe the scriptures are God breathed, that they are inspired and as Paul tells us they are “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Tim 3:16-17 (NKJV)

We believe God is the great creator of this universe, of matter, of life, we believe He created it all. We believe that not only did He create the great span we see as we stare into a clear night's sky, but that he made you and he made me. He made each of us unique and as a special object of His love. And we believe we see this love in the ultimate sacrifice of His Son on the Cross.

We want to extend an invitation to come and get to know us better, to come join us on a path of seeking wisdom of and from God. In doing that let me say a few things about what you might expect when you come to visit with us.

We meet for services on Sunday morning starting at 9 am for Bible study. Our Worship hour then begins at 10 am. We also have a Sunday evening service at 6 pm and a midweek bible study on Wed nights at 7 pm.

You can trust you will be greeted with care and a friendly smile. Our bible studies, both Sunday morning and Wed evening will begin with singing and prayer and afterwards we separate to classes for all ages. During our Sunday morning worship hour you can look forward to much singing as well as prayer. We will offer the Lord's Supper as was the practice of the early church on the first day of each week. And you will be encouraged and challenged as we open bibles together as we listen to a message from the word of God.

In addition to our worship and Bible study services, let me tell you a little bit about our programs here at Three Forks. Often people think that a smaller rural congregation doesn't have much going on, nothing could be further from the reality here at Three Forks. Our programs are growing and being implemented to meet the needs of our members as we continue to grow in spirit and in number.

We have many young families and a new youth group called S.W.A.T. (Seeking Wisdom And Truth). The SWAT team is a year long group encouraging our young people in participation, creation of Christian friendship, development of leadership and growth in faith. We see our young people not only as the future of our church and our community but a vital part our present.

In addition to the SWAT team itself, we have yearly activities that offer our youth and the youth of our surrounding community opportunities of spiritual growth. In June we have our yearly Vacation Bible School series. VBS is outstanding time for our young people not only to learn but to get involved. Many participate in skits, in songs and of course classes. We bring every VBS to a close with a Saturday full of activities that ends with our annual water balloon fight. August brings our youth rally. It is hard to share in words what SHINE (Seeing His Image iN Everyone) is all about. You have to experience it. Last year we had 250 in attendance as we celebrated our biggest youth rally to date.

Our youth all participate in a week long summer bible camp at the Taylor Christian Camp. As with all our activities, camp offers the experiences of activities, classes, skits and more. It also offers our kids that opportunity to fellowship and befriend other Christian peers from surrounding congregations.

Our programs don't end with our young people. We have an outstanding Women's group here at Three Forks. WOW (Women of Worth), our Ladies Group, meets monthly for lessons and fellowship. WOW fosters the opportunity for our women to build strong and lasting relationships with one another as well as God.

That brings us to our outreach programs. We believe in the power of the gospel of Jesus not only to save people from their sins but to bring them the important things of life such as purpose, fellowship with their God and friendship that is true. This belief draws us to share this message to all. We participate in a program called House to House. House to House is a publication mailed into our direct community to 1000 homes every two months. This publication is a professionally designed and printed magazine featuring articles and other resources to encourage knowledge and faith in Jesus.

In addition to our mailing of House to House, we also offer resources through the internet. The church has a website at www.threeforkscofc.org which features resources to help visitors learn more about the work being done at Three Forks. We also have a Facebook page for the church which you can get to from our main website or by doing a search for it on Facebook. And we have developed a website located at www.inchristianlove.com This website features two internet radio formats for visitors to explore the Christian faith. You can tune in at this website to 24/7 radio station that features acapella music and messages on various topics dealing with faith, life, Christian evidences and more. You also can access our other radio program which is a live talk show called Christian Talk. Christian Talk explores various topics in an effort to help navigate the Christian path.

We believe the Three Forks family has place for you. Come visit with us we believe you will be glad you did!

In Christian Love,

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." Romans 1:16-17 (NKJV)
