Bancroft Church of Christ

​   Why does our sign say, "The Bancroft Church of Christ Meets Here"?  Isn't the building or meeting place the church?  Most people might think that, but if you check the greek word that the english derivative (church) comes from, one can see it means "a called out people".  We have all been "called" by the gospel, 2 Thess 2:14, and those who obey are "added" to the "church", Acts 2:47.  Therefore "The local Church" that meets at Bancroft are actually the people.

 

  We are simply Christians only, of one mind, holding to one faith (Eph 4:5), un-denominational in concept, desiring only to have New Testament authority in our lives and in our worship. Jesus prayed "we would all be one" John 17:21, and the apostle Paul said there was to be no division among us, 1 Cor 1:10.

 

Our current preachers or evangelists:

   You can expect to see either Brian V. Sullivan or Larry W. Fuller preaching.  Brian has over 50 years of full time preaching in his career, and Larry over 30 years, primarily part-time.

 

   You will notice that they were not introduced as wearing any "capitalized" titles.  It was not an oversight, because Jesus himself forbade the use of such in Mtt 23:9.  In fact there is only one intercessor between mankind & God, and that is Jesus,  1 Tim 2:5.  We are all one, regardless of nationality, skin colour, race, sex, or role Gal 3:28
