About Our Church

We held our first worship service in a Sun City Recreation Center on November 3, 1974, led by founding Pastor, Dr. Hartzell Cobbs.  We grew over the next four years, committed to build a church, purchased a lot and broke ground on April 2, 1978. The first worship service in the current building was held May 6, 1979.

About the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

Early in the 1800’s two separate but similar movements in the development of new Protestant faiths, with roots in Ireland and Scotland, but with distinctly American frontier flavor, took shape in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and (West) Virginia. They recognized their commonality, held joint “Camp Meetings,” and in 1832, formally joined efforts.

The distinguishing features of the Disciples of Christ are the minimizing of historic creeds as tests of faith, the belief that the Bible is sufficient as a guide, the practice of Baptism by immersion, the celebration of Communion every Sunday, and an emphasis on the pivotal role of the laity in the leadership of the congregation. Today it is one of the largest churches founded on American soil, more than 850,000 members in nearly 3,900 congregations across the United States and Canada.

About the Chalice

The Logo of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a red chalice with a white Saint Andrew’s cross. The chalice represents the centrality of the Communion to the life of the church. The cross of Saint Andrew is a reminder of the ministry of each person and the importance of evangelism, and recalls the denomination’s Scottish Presbyterian ancestry. The symbol was designed in 1969. The chalice has become a simple way to identify Disciples of Christ Churches through signage, letterhead, and other forms of publicity.
