It is understandable that many people are a bit anxious about visiting a new church.  Whether you are just beginning a journey to know God or are looking for a new church we want you to know that we welcome all visitors here at Three Forks church of Christ.  So let us take this moment to share a littl bit about who we are.

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 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.

It is our belief in God and His Son Jesus our Christ that leads us to be involved in the work of kingdom.  Let me take a few moments to say a 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 truth 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 an 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 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.  

And of course we are always seeking to reach out into our community. We believe in the power of the gospel of Jesus not only to save people from their sins but to bring them to the important things of life such as purpose, fellowship with their God and friendship that is true.

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

In Christian Love,

Nick Secula

Minister

 

Romans 8:29

 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren

Verse of the Day

1 John 4:18
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”
