People

The family of believers at the church of Christ at Elkins is comprised of men, women, and children of varying ages, backgrounds, and cultures from all around our community.  Some of our members have been here for many years, while others may have only been here just a short period of time.   What you will find when you visit with us is that we are a loving family that continually seek to please God in all things.

Members

When you visit the church of Christ at Elkins, you may be greeted by several of our "members." In the Bible, Paul describes the "body" as being of many different "members."  When an individual decides that the church of Christ at Elkins will be their "home" congregation, through Biblical example, they have placed themselves as members of our body.  Individuals and families that become members of our body are expected to become faithful members that will respect the autonomous role of the church and its elders.  Members are expected to serve God in any capacity that they can within the church, as well as be disciples that will spread the Gospel to every creature, representing the church as a loving family, as well as the church that Christ built and purchased with His blood.

Christians

Not every person that attends the church has become a Christian.  We do feel that in order to serve in the worship services of the Lord, teaching, and serving others, that one must be obedient to the gospel plan of salvation.  Each individual that attends with us is also expected to edify one another, encourage each other, and especially strengthen one another, including those that have not become a Christian, in order that they may see from those good works and happy lives that they too would benefit from obedience to the Gospel.

Visitors

We are often blessed with visitors from time to time, and from many different areas.  Whatever has brought our visitors to meet with us, we count as a blessing.  We will often ask that each of our members greets visitors, and we ask that if you visit with us, that you will allow us a few minutes of time to introduce ourselves and get to know one another briefly.  A visitor usually does not know who other visitors are, and without some basic introductions, some visitors may feel unwelcome.  We want to welcome all and encourage each person to spend a few minutes getting to know one another.
