Olsen Park church of
Christ is a warm congregation of Christians in Southwest
Amarillo, Texas. We are simply Christians seeking to
follow the Bible as our sole guide. We invite you to
browse our site and come and worship with us. Please let
us introduce ourselves…
We believe that the Bible
is the inspired word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter
1:19-21). It was revealed to mankind as a guide for all
things having to do with our lives and how we worship
God (Psalm 119:105; 2 Peter 1:2-4). The Old Testament
teaches us how God set apart a people unto Himself in
order to bring Jesus, the Christ and Savior of the world
(Galatians 3:22-25). The New Testament is the revealed
New Covenant of Jesus Christ (Jeremiah 31:31-34; John
12:47-48). It is the whole, complete, and final
revelation of God and the pattern and guide for all
things in this age (Galatians 1:8,9; 1 Corinthians
14:37; 1 Timothy 3:14-15). It is the Bible that reveals
to us the joyous plan of the gospel of Jesus Christ by
which we can be saved from our sins and receive eternal
life with God in the age to come (2 Timothy 3:14-15;
Romans 1:16; 1 Timothy 4:8).
When you worship with us
you can expect a simple and friendly service focusing on
Scripture and based upon the pattern found in the New
Testament. We believe that the New Testament reveals how
Christians worshiped in the First Century, and we seek
to follow that pattern. In following this we sing songs
of praise and devotion to God (Colossians 3:16;
Ephesians 5:19). We pray to God, in the name of Jesus
(Acts 2:42; John 14:13). We teach and study the Bible
(Acts 20:7; Acts 17:11). Each Sunday we partake of the
memorial of Jesus' death, known as the
"Lord's Supper" (Acts 20:7; Acts 2:42; 1
Corinthians 11:20, 23-26). Finally, each Sunday our
members are given the opportunity to give back to the
Lord a portion of the material blessings which He has
given to us (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
Visitors are not expected to contribute. This is a
responsibility of the members here at Olsen Park.
The Bible tells us that
when Jesus came He promised to build His church (Matthew
16:18). The Greek word ekklēsia, which is
translated "church" refers to a body of people
called out for a given purpose. In His death, Jesus
purchased with His blood the "called out" people who
look to Him for salvation from sin (Acts 20:28). When
this glorious message of salvation was first preached,
the Bible tells us that the Lord added to this church
those who accepted and obeyed this message of the
"gospel" or "good news" (Acts 22:47). The Lord's church,
as described in the New Testament was not splintered and
divided, but was "one body" following
"one faith" (Ephesians 4:4-6). Religious division
was condemned (1 Corinthians 1:10). It is our aim to be
nothing more and nothing less than simply a congregation
of Christians who are members of the Lord's church. We
are not a part of any denomination. We are not
Protestant, Catholic, nor Jew—we are simply
Christians.
