About Us

 

A Basic Statement About Us

The Lander Church of Christ exists to reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ, involve them in the fellowship of believers, and help develop their faith so they can effectively worship God and serve in His kingdom.

What do we believe?

Our purpose: to honor God with lives wholly devoted to him.



Basic Beliefs that anchor us together:

  • We believe in one God
  • The Bible is the inspired word of God
  • Our goal is to “speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent.”
  • We are committed to the continual study of God’s Word.
  • The church is made up of God’s people here on earth.
  • Salvation comes through:
    • believing in the power and person of Jesus Christ (John 3:16)
    • repenting, or changing the way we live that is against Jesus (Acts 2:37-38)
    • confessing to other people that we are His (Romans 10:9-10)
    • being baptized (immersed) into Christ (Romans 6:3-11)
  • Christian conversion is not completed by following the steps of salvation…instead, a wonderful life in Jesus begins.

The church in Lander has been under an eldership since 1999. In the fall of 2009, health issues and job commitments led to the eldership being dissolved. The church desires that elders once again be installed as soon as possible. Until then, the men of the congregation are assuming the role as overseers and leaders.
 
The church in Lander is very diverse. Our congregation's attendance averages anywhere from 80-100 every Sunday and the mid 50s-60s on any given Wednesday. Our congregation is mostly white Caucasian, with the ages of members ranging from young couples or singles in their 20s to retired couples or singles in their 70s and 80s.
 
Lander's youth group averages 8-12 in number, from junior high-age through high school. We have younger children ranging from cradle roll through 6th grade. We also have young couples both with and without children, as well as couples whose children have long since grown up and moved away.
 
We are also very diversified in the occupations of our members.
* Educators
* Business Owners and Operators
* Contractors
* Nurses and Physician's Assistant
* Janitors/Custodians
* Government Workers
* Law Enforcement Workers
* Emergency Medical Technicians
* Firemen
* Technology Director/Technician
* Salesmen
* Homemakers
* Secretaries
* Ranchers
* Retirees
* Auto Industry/Service Workers
 
We also have an interim (half-time) minister who is willing to remain in that position until a full time evangelist/minister can be found. He will also help in the transition when we bring a full time person on board.
