FAQ
Thank
you for visiting the Griffin Road Church of Christ website. We are
honored by your presence, and hope you will come again.
Actually,
we don't want you to just visit...we want you to feel at home. We
think the Griffin Road church is a very special place, and we'd
like to take a few moments to explain why.
We
hope when you've read this page; you will agree that the Griffin
Road Church of Christ is for you ...because it is a place where
you fit in!
Choosing
a church is an important task...but how do you pick the right one
for you and your family? In talking to a lot of searchers like you,
we've found several common concerns.
Will
I fit in here?
We all need to feel accepted by our peers. More importantly,
we need God's acceptance. Fortunately, the Bible
tells us that God loves each one of us...and He loves us more
than we can imagine! Furthermore, the Griffin Road church is made
up of ethnically and culturally diverse people of all age groups.
We are family-friendly, but also have single members. It is certain
that you will find someone with similar experiences and background.
We want you to be part of our family!
Does
anybody want to know me?
South Florida can sometimes be an unfriendly place! But the Griffin
Road church is a haven of friends in the midst of chaos. Just
as our diversity guarantees you will fit in, it also makes our
church a very friendly place. In fact, we often refer to ourselves
as a family. Just as every family rejoices in a new addition,
we love it when new people join us. We want you to be a part of
our family. At Griffin Road, everyone matters.
Am
I needed?
We are actively trying to minister to the people of West Broward
and Miami-Dade counties. You have unique talents and abilities
that no one else can offer. When you become a part of the Griffin
Road family, you will have the opportunity to be as involved as
you like in our ministries. We think this is important, because
through service to others, we also serve God.
What
do I get out of becoming a member?
We believe there are several benefits to being a member of the
Griffin Road Church of Christ. Some are Biblical, some are practical,
some are personal. They include:
-
Being
a part of a church that seeks to restore New Testament Christianity;
that means we take the Bible as our only rule book and guide,
we have no earthly headquarters or controlling entity, and
require nothing the Bible doesn't require.
-
Engaging
in worship that helps you focus on God and prepares you spiritually
and emotionally for the week ahead.
-
Having
a spiritual family; friends who are available to support you
and encourage you in your spiritual walk, and as you face
the problems and challenges of life.You can have a
spiritual family; friends who support and encourage you.
-
Having
a place to discover and use your talents and abilities in
real service to God and others.
-
Providing
you with the means to strengthen your faith, models that challenge
your lifestyle, and accountability to help you grow.
What
is required of members?
The New Testament equates church membership with becoming a
Christian. Our ultimate goal is to help everyone become true
disciples of Jesus Christ. This includes observing the New Testament
teaching about salvation, adopting lifestyles consistent with
Biblical standards, and serving others. If this is your first
church, or if you've not been part of a church for a long time,
you may not feel ready for such a commitment at this time. We
still want you to be a part of the Griffin Road Church of Christ.
Our congregation has people at different stages of their
spiritual lives...all are loved, and all are important to us
and to God. Just as in your extended family there are
children, teenagers, parents and grandparents, our congregation
has people at different stages of their spiritual lives. All
loved, all are wanted, and all are important to us and to God.
In light of that, we encourage you to commit to one of the following
levels of involvement:
If
you'd like to tell us about your commitment we'd love to hear
it. Just
contact
us . Or, if you'd rather keep it to yourself for awhile,
that's okay, too.
Thank
you again for being our guest. We hope the Griffin Road Church
of Christ will be an important part of your life from now on...and
we hope you will be an important part of our lives, as well.
You have the choice we hope you will choose the Griffin Road
Church of Christ...
...where
you fit in!
