The Sudbury Church of Christ is a non-denominational church that focusses on following God's Word, and establishing God's church as it is described in the New Testament. When you come and visit with us you can expect to receive a warm welcome. You can expect to share in a worship service where God receives praise and honour for his many blessings. You can expect the Bible to be used as our only rule of faith and practice.
You'll quickly notice we love to sing praises to God and that the words of the songs are designed to teach and encourage those in attendance (Colossians 3:16). The only instrument of music that we use is our hearts (Ephesians 5:19).
On Sunday mornings we set aside time to remember Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross. As in the first century this is done as we share bread and the fruit of the vine. During this time we are reminded that it is only through Christ's sacrifice that we have been able to become his (1 Corinthians 11:17-34).
A collection is taken each Sunday. This is when members are asked to give to support the work of this congregation (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 8:1-15). As you wouldn't ask a guest at your table to "pay for their meal," so we do not ask or expect our guests to give.
At various times during our assemblies prayers will be offered by different members (1 Timothy 2:1-8). These reflect our dependence upon God and our desire for his leading in our lives. The Bible will be read and referred to quite often. Whether it is a public reading of scripture or preaching (1 Timothy 4:13), the Bible serves as the basis for all that is taught.
