What to Expect This Sunday
Meeting Times: 9am & 11am
Children
We want to help kids love and obey Jesus. During the 9 AM meeting, we provide nurseries and classes for infants through kindergartners. During the 11 AM meeting, we offer nurseries and classes for infants through middle-schoolers. If this is your first time visiting Christ's Church, ask the greeter at the door about our check-in procedures.
Worship
Worship is a priority for us. Our Sunday gatherings are worship meetings from start to finish. We allow extended time for seeking God, for singing and declaring his praises. When we transition to the time of teaching, we maintain the same attitude of expecting to hear from God and experience his presence.

Welcome to Christ’s Church of Joplin
Thanks for checking us out. If you haven't been to one of our Sunday meetings, you are invited to come some Sunday morning at 9:00 or 11:00 AM. Have a cup of coffee, meet some people, and see what happens. Each meeting is about 90 minutes long. During each of these meetings there are nurseries and programs for kids.
We hope these Sunday gatherings reflect our enthusiasm for Jesus and his cause and our commitment to building communities where lives are radically transformed by grace. We hope you will feel both welcomed and challenged. We hope you will experience these things on Sunday because this is the kind of community we aspire to be every day of the week.
If you are looking for more detail about what we believe and what we are doing, you should be able to find some good clues here on the website. If you like what you see, come join us. We are looking for broken people who need healing, lonely people who need a family, and disenchanted people who need a glorious challenge.
