ABOUT US
The Broken Bow church of Christ is located at 400 W. Airport
Rd. in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. We are just three blocks west of
the Hwy. 259 and Airport Rd junction. We are a congregation
of approximately 130 people with a good mix of age groups. We
have several families who are retired, several in the
middle-age range with children who are in high school and
several families with younger children. We are fortunate to
have the type of family mix that leads to continued growth and
development for the congregation.
In addition, we are now in a brand new facility. We completed
our new building and moved in during the month of July, 2008.
Here, in our new location, we have plenty of parking and class
rooms. And, instead of being on a busy, noisy main highway,
we are in a quiet, wonderful neighborhood just a block from a
grade school and a nursing home. We are really enjoying our
new facility and beginning to plan new programs to go along
with it.
We believe in the truth of God’s word. We believe the Bible
is, indeed, the plenary verbal inspired word of God. We
believe we must have Biblical authority for all we teach and
practice as God’s people. We believe the silence of the
scriptures is prohibitive and we practice that which is
authorized by command, example or implied inference in the
scriptures. We believe the church is to be lead by elders
when there are qualified men in the congregation to serve in
this capacity. At this time we are without elders and deacons
but have men that are growing in their Biblical knowledge and
experience. Hopefully, one day we will be able to
re-establish our eldership.
Our men are doing an excellent job of directing the work of
the church and we are involved in several areas. We support
the “In Search Of The Lord’s Way" television program. We are
also continuing to support our young people by helping with
the Bible Chair and Campus Ministries at Southeastern
University in Durant, Oklahoma and East Central University in
Ada, Oklahoma. We also try to get our youth group involved in
different areas of the work. We take them to attend area-wide
youth activities as well as having special activities for them
here. For the past few years we have had a special "Young
Men's Retreat" with special speakers for all the teenage young
men in this area. In addition to these, we are constantly
looking for new and better ways to reach out to the Broken Bow
community as well as the McCurtain County area.
Needless to say, we are very excited about the future of the
Broken Bow church of Christ. We would love for you to come
and be a part of it. |
