Community - Lawson Road Church of Christ

While a Christian’s relationship with God should always remain primary, we express that relationship in community with others. According to 1 John 4:21, “Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.” Jesus himself interacted with crowds of people wherever he went.

At Lawson Road we have a simple goal of “Making the world a better place“. Fundamentally, this includes sharing God’s Good News with people and studying the Bible. However, this goal also includes practical ways to demonstrate God’s love that make other people’s lives a little easier. Some of our efforts include: Establishing Northgate Community Garden; Supporting local elementary schools; Hosting AA meetings; Holding cookouts at local apartment complexes, and Maintaining a “little library” for our neighborhood.

Even if church isn’t your thing, we’d love to work with you on these projects as we strive to bring some joy to people around us.

• In addition to Sunday Bible classes, the Lawson Road teens meet

regularly throughout the year for a variety of activities.

These events include both spiritual activities and events designed

to build relationships. During summer the church provides each

teen the opportunity to attend Camp Hunt for at least one week.

• In addition to regular events, the teens attend youth events with

other churches around the state.

• Teens who are interested also enjoy the opportunity to help video

stream our worship serves each Sunday.

Growth Groups provide a great opportunity for newcomers at Lawson Road to meet people and build deeper relationships. These groups of 5-15 people meet throughout the school year in homes across the city.

Joining a Growth Group does not require attendance at worship on Sunday. While the groups generally discuss the previous Sunday’s sermon, they provide an opportunity to explore any faith questions that may bother you. Most meetings last 1 – 1.5 hours and consist of coffee and prayer, along with Bible discussion.

We call these meetings Growth Groups because we believe that can help people grow:

• Closer to God;

• Closer to each other; and

• In diversity as new people are invited.

Contact the church office if you’re interested in joining a group
