About — DuPage County Church of Christ

WHO WE ARE

We are Christians, committed to following the pattern of the church established by Christ and described in the New Testament. Our worship is simple, sincere, and grounded in Scripture.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is the same one Jesus had when He walked the earth: to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). We are committed to sharing the gospel—the good news of Jesus Christ—with our community and beyond, firmly believing that salvation from sin is found only through Him (Acts 4:12).

We also aim to strengthen and encourage one another in our shared faith (Hebrews 10:24), building each other up as we walk with Christ.

We hope you’ll experience a spirit of love and family among us as we serve God together (John 13:35). At our core, we are New Testament Christians who look to God’s Word for answers about His will, salvation, the church, and worship.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Visitors are always welcome, and while you’re not expected to participate in every aspect, we invite you to come, observe, and ask questions. Our aim is to worship God in spirit and in truth. Our worship services are reverent, simple, and fully guided by the New Testament. Each part of our worship - singing, prayer, teaching, communion, and contribution - is led by faithful male members in accordance with the Biblical pattern. We do not have separate children’s programs. Instead, children of all ages, including babies, are welcomed with their families in the main assembly. We understand this may be different from what some visitors are used to, and we welcome any questions you may have.

Singing

Every worship service consists of singing songs of praise to the Lord as we are commanded to do. (Colossians 3:16)
We encourage everyone to participate in the congregational, acapella singing, without musical instruments. (Ephesians 5:19)
Examples of Acapella Singing
Prayer

We offer many prayers throughout a worship service. Only one person speaks, while everyone else participates silently.
(1 Timothy 2:8)
Teaching

There are many example in the scriptures of teaching the word of God or "doctrine", so we follow this example in our own services. (Acts 2:42)
The lessons are designed to increase our knowledge of the scriptures and to encourage us to become better Christians. We encourage everyone to follow along in their Bibles and ask any questions you may have after services.
Communion

The Lord’s Supper is observed during Sunday morning services. (Acts 20:7)
Communion will consist of ONE cup containing the "Fruit of the Vine" (grape juice) (Mark 14:23) and ONE loaf of unleavened bread. (1 Corinthians 10:17).
The loaf and cup are passed around to each member to partake as we examine ourselves and reflect on the sacrifice that Christ made for us. (1 Corinthians 11:28)
Contribution

We have a collection during Sunday morning service.
(1 Corinthians 16:1-2)
A basket will be passed so each member can give as they are able.
(2 Corinthians 8:12)
