What Community of Christ has to offer.
|
A community of people where the gospel of Jesus Christ is the focus of worship, learning, caring, and mission. A faith community where deep friendships are established, individual ideas are valued, and where those special needs find security, care, and support. |
An opportunity for genuine spiritual growth and relationship with the Holy Spirit. A faith community that encourages the ministry of all people, including children and youth. A global community with a worldwide mission that values all cultures and celebrates the rich diversity of human life. Meaningful opportunities to serve Jesus Christ by helping others and promoting peace. |
Community of Christ Enduring Principles
|
Community of Christ Enduring Principles serve as guiding values that shape the identity of the church and its members, providing a framework for understanding the core beliefs and teachings.
They are not merely abstract concepts but are intended to be lived out in the daily lives of members, influencing their interactions and decisions in meaningful ways.

If you are a member of the LDS community and are continuing to struggle on your faith journey, our Latter-day Seeker Ministry may be a great resource for you.
Not only does this ministry provide an opportunity to learn more about Community of Christ, but it also offers a welcoming and inclusive community for those who may feel isolated or disconnected from their current faith community.

This ministry encourages dialogue and open-mindedness, which can help you gain a deeper appreciation for other perspectives and beliefs. By engaging with a community of seekers who share your background, you may find a sense of belonging and connection that you may not have experienced before.
You can explore new ways of thinking about faith and spirituality without feeling pressured to abandon your current beliefs. The ministry offers a safe and supportive space to ask questions, share your experiences, and learn from others.
Our Latter-day Seeker Ministry is a great place to connect with others who are on a similar journey of seeking, learning, and growing.
Whether you're looking to expand your understanding of faith or simply want to connect with like-minded individuals, this ministry may be a valuable resource for you. While we seek dialogue with all people; we do not proselytize. For those happy in their faith, we are happy for you. |

Emporia Community of Christ
A Journey of Faith and Resilience
|
Emporia Community of Christ began its journey meeting in the welcoming spaces of group members' homes. These gatherings were filled with fellowship, worship, and a shared mission to serve the community. However, like many other communities around the world, our in-person activities came to a halt due to the challenges posed by COVID-19.

Embracing Digital Transformation
In the face of this setback, we have demonstrated resilience and adaptability by transitioning some of our activities to digital platforms. Through social media and our website, we continue to connect with our members and community and share the teachings and values that bind us together. While we currently do not have a physical church facility in the Emporia, KS area, our digital presence has enabled us to maintain our sense of community and purpose.

There are many techniques for proclaiming my word which may be used as needs and circumstances dictate.”
