Gold Hill
Road Church of Christ is a diverse congregation with people of all ages,
socio-economic backgrounds, religious experiences and race; everyone is
welcome. We are a congregation of Christian people seeking to follow the
pattern of New Testament Christianity. We believe the Bible is the
inspired word of God and we try to follow it alone.
• We
believe Christ established his church as one body and desires it to
remain one.
• We
believe baptism is a burial in water for the remission of sins and is
essential to membership in Christ's church and therefore essential to
salvation.
• We
believe in making disciples of all nations by preaching the gospel,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit and teaching them to obey everything Christ has commanded (Matt.
28:19).
Visitors are always welcome!
When
you visit, expect to be greeted warmly. Don’t be afraid to ask questions,
we’re here to help. You’ll find Bibles and Hymnals in the pews so it’s easy
to participate in study or worship. Join in as we sing… our many talented
song leaders, and enthusiastic members, sing as a reflection of our joy
and love of God. If you’re not comfortable singing, simply listen.
As
directed by Christ, we observe the Lord’ Supper on every Sunday, the
first day of the week and only the first day of the week. We take up a
weekly collection for the work of our church, both at home and in our
many missions. Please know visitors are not expected to contribute. We
don’t want you to give until you are fully informed about who we are and
the work we do.
When
you visit, you’ll find we are family; with lots of smiling faces,
laughing kids, and a genuine concern for the spiritual well being,
health, and happiness of others. Our building is located near I-77 on
Gold Hill Road in Fort Mill SC. We look forward to meeting you soon!
Our History
Many
years ago, the elders at the Charlotte Avenue Church of Christ in Rock
Hill began planning a new church in the rapidly growing Fort Mill area.
Property was sought and eventually acquired just off Interstate 77 on Gold
Hill Road. Plans for the building were laid out, an initial meeting
location place was determined and a minister was hired. Before the first
service, plans were in place for worship, education curriculum, and other
vital activities.
On June
2, 1996, the Church of Christ at Gold Hill Road met for the first time at
the Ramada Inn in Fort Mill; SC. Fifty-six attended that first worship
service. Less than ten years later, an average of over 300 people worship
together on Sunday mornings at the church facility on Gold Hill Road and
today we regularly average over 350 in attendance.
Since
our inception, the congregation has been blessed with many baptisms and
restorations. Equally important is the continued spiritual and personal
growth among our members. Gold Hill Road Church of Christ continues to
grow through local evangelism efforts and the rapid growth in south
Charlotte, NC and the Fort Mill, SC area.
The
building and parking facilities were recently expanded. The Elders at the
Church of Christ at Gold Hill Road decided to begin building the
foundation for another congregation in the Clover, SC area. Land has been
identified and purchased and Gold Hill members will begin the work to
helping a new church find life and spread the Word in our area.
The
congregation remains doctrinally pure and blessed with peace. To God be
the glory.
The
Church of Christ at Gold Hill Road is deeply indebted first to God and the
Charlotte Avenue congregation, as well as many other congregations and
individuals. More than ever, we have a keen sense of responsibility to
carry out the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19). We look forward to a long
and rich history of service in the kingdom.
We are
located at 1055 Gold Hill Road in Fort Mill, SC. Get
