In Russellville there is a chapel called Edwards Chapel Christian Church. But the original founding site for the church is between London and Russellville, Arkansas, near the Illinois Bayou. In the 1930s the church split up when that happened the greater part of the church fellowship when to the Church of Christ. This church was converted in 1939 it was converted into a church.The church was originally organized by the white minister Pope Kelley in 1867 near Coal Springs near Dwight Mission. The original founding site of Dwight Mission Indian was overlooked by the Edwards Chapel Christian Church. The church was for the local white citizens, freeman, and former slaves.

After arriving in Tennessee, my parents were very adamant about getting plugged into a church. I was raised in church but up until then, I went because I was told to. Usually I had to count ceiling lights or people in pews to keep from falling asleep during sermons. We attended countless services, but it wasn’t until one special Sunday that we found Sand Ridge Baptist Church. Unbeknownst to me, it would change my life.

The Brentwood Baptist Church is not a church that I have had any previous experience with. I had the opportunity to attend the Brentwood Baptist Church while on vacation in Tennessee. First, I chose to attend a Baptist church based on the fact that my children’s father attended a Baptist church throughout his childhood which would allow my children to have an experience in a Baptist church. The second contributing factor in the choice was the size of this particular church. Although our home church is the largest church in our hometown the Brentwood Baptist Church is much larger than our home church. The third contributing factor of the choice was the close proximity of the church to the resort that I was at.

Mid-sentence the pastor interrupted himself and said, “Let us pray”, without giving us time to prepare we began praying. This sporadic praying happened many a times during the meeting. Also, I have never heard the phrase “can I get an amen?” taken so seriously. The pastor would sometimes wait for the audience to say amen and if no one would, his response to silence was, “SAY AMEN”. To me it came off forceful and demanding, but the rest of them seemed to be used to it. Like I mentioned before, there was no program or itinerary handed out. The meeting seemed very unorganized, which is different from what I am used to. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Going to a baptist church was a bit different. A lot of our beliefs were the same though! For example, we both believe that Jesus Chris performed the greatest act of the atonement (died for our sins). As well as, the resurrection of Christ. They study in the Old Testament and the New Testament like me (although we use different versions). The message of the meeting seemed to be to make it to heaven. That was their happiness. To make it to heaven, they are to follow the commandments given to them by their God, and live their life

The church must be a central part of rebuilding the community, they are strangers to. There are a variety of ways of reaching the community, however, whether the church elects the execution of at least one or more of these methods are something of a different matter. Pleasant Hill Baptist Church (PHBC) today, does not have an ongoing focused vision, structured outwardly, in place. By the same token, in regards to connecting or bridging the outside community to the relevance of the church, there have been several attempts made. Examples: Service on the lawn, “Cross” walk Easter Sunday, and Church cookout and picnic day. These creative ideas used to get the attention of the community were only temporary.

Every week, approximately sixty to seventy devoted followers of Jesus gather in a traditional, white church building nestled by the woods, across from a horse pasture on the edge of the small, mostly blue-collar town of Sparta, Michigan. As they take their seats, those with gray to white hair fill the pews to the left of the aisle, while those whose in their middle age fill the pews to the right, along with a dozen middle and high school students in the back. Baptist Bible Church (BBC) was founded in 2008 and led by a part-time interim pastor until a full-time pastor could be found. However, since their founding as well as their leader's passing in 2010, BBC has been unsuccessful in finding the right pastor for the job and has continued

The First United Methodist Church of Lindale has become a second family that I spend time worshiping with. FUMC Lindale has been my only church, and I began learning about Christ before I can remember. For a while, I even went to school in my church! I participated in children's programs such as BIG, sunday school, and summer camp. Growing up in the traditional service, I became a regular Acolyte. This began as a terrifying experience, but grew into a wonderful appreciation of being part of the service. Each experience within this church is valuable to myself and many others I introduced to my church. Many of them followed until Conformation where we learned about the importance and structure of our church along with Biblical text . Following

May 1, 2016, the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, located in Greenwood (S.C.) County will celebrate its 142nd church anniversary. Many years Mt. Olive have been a church that loved people, gave without limits and took great care of its members. The last five of those one hundred and forty-two years, I have been honored to serve as pastor of this great church. Although this is a great church, Mt. Olive and many churches like it are plagued with a disease that has slowly, but surely, causing the church to drift further away from God and fall deeper into the ways of the world. This epidemic is known as “tradition”. Churches that are bound by tradition and not led by the Holy Spirit will find themselves missing the mark of what God has called us to do. The bible is filled with instructions for the church, but as Christians and Disciples of Christ, Matthew 28 is the foundation upon which we should be operating on in the church as well as in our lives. The Great Commission challenges us to “go, teach and preach to all nations.” Traditional churches will allow church tradition to dictate biblical doctrine. It will allow the church to argue about who’s right instead of what’s right. Sadly, church success has been based on structure and finances rather than saving lost souls.

My impressions of the Christian Church are formed by my own experience attending the Bluff Methodist Christian Church in Kwa-Zulu Natal from the age of seven until I reached nineteen years of age. While the church I previously belonged to had a Sunday School service for the children, a lot of the time my sibling and I would attend the early morning service with the rest of the adults in my family. This normally entailed an hour long session of forced sitting and singing of outdated hymns from the 18th century. Often my sister and I would get scolded for not listening and singing or fiddling. I personally believe we would have retained more from the serves each Sunday if the sermons were given in a more entertaining or interactive manner.
