What Houston Park Church of Christ Is All About

Our Mandate

To magnify Christ as Lord and to bring every life we touch into complete obedience to his will.

Our Vision

To demonstrate to the people of Selma what it means to be a church that is truly of Christ...

In name -- acting by His authority
In doctrine -- proclaiming His word
In worship -- glorifying God through Him
In spirit -- demonstrating His love
In service -- showing His care
In outreach -- helping people to truly know Him

Our Mission

To be a church in which...

People can learn of Christ and His plan for their lives
Each person can flourish spiritually
Everyone feels welcomed, treasured, and embraced

Our Commitments

Believing that people are drawn to Christ and His gospel by the magnetic lives of genuine, caring Christians, we will make every effort to prove ourselves to be a people who care about...

God's Word and its message for our lives
Respect and honor for the God we serve
The lost souls around us
The moral threats to our nation
The violence, immorality, and strife which poison our society
Godliness and personal purity
Marriages and families, children, and young people
Those who are suffering, grief-stricken, and alone
Those who are poor, homeless, and hungry

Our Priorities

The Lost:

Since the church is the only agency that ministers to mankind's spiritual needs, our first priority will be leading lost souls to Christ. With an eye towards the growth of the church worldwide, we will search diligently for opportunities to support global missions.

The Saved:

Recognizing the Bible mandate to grow in knowledge of God's Word, we will give uncompromising support to our congregation's Sunday morning and Wednesday evening Bible School program.
Knowing that the Bible requires congregational leaders to set an example for the flock, our elders, deacons, ministers, and their families will be faithful in worship and Bible class attendance, and visibly supportive of the church's activities. As leaders, they will always be mindful of their duty to be proper models of commitment, maturity, behavior, and servant-hood.
Because of the nature of the church as the body of Christ and because of the challenges before us, we will seek to utilize the talents, capabilities, and potential of every individual member of the congregation -- male and female, young and old, newcomer or longtime member -- whether single, married, or widowed.

The Young:

Realizing that the church's future will be entrusted to the youth of today, we will continually encourage our young people to...

Become baptized believers in Christ
Maintain a life that exemplifies Christian conduct and purity
Be personally involved in the congregation's ministries
Enter only into a Christian marriage and remain faithful to their spouse during a lifelong marriage commitment
Move into adulthood as responsible, mature members of Christ's church
