About


The church of Christ meeting on Manslick Road is a group of Christians striving to follow what the Bible says, book, chapter and verse. We do not subscribe or follow any human creed or book. We appeal to the Bible for all we do.

We believe that for anything in religion, there must be authority for such in God’s Word. We view the silence of Scripture as prohibitive, not permissive. The local congregation is an autonomous unit, shepherded by elders who watch over the souls of the members. This congregation is not part of, nor does it answer to any earthly religious body.

We believe that a Christian is one who has:

  • Believed the Word of God, that it is the inspired word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and that Jesus, the one and only Son of God, came down from heaven to die on a cross for our sins (Hebrews 10:9-10), and rose from the dead to ascend back to the Father to return again some day (Acts 1:9-11).
  • Repented of his or her sins, turning away from them and striving to live a life pleasing to God (Luke 13:3 ).
  • Confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (Matt. 16:16; Acts 8:37).
  • Been baptized for the remission of their sins (Acts 2:38 ).

As Christians, we come together to worship God and to build up one another. At every service, we pray together (1 Tim. 2:1-6), sing praises to God in edification of each other (Col. 3:16), and listen to the word of God proclaimed (Acts 2:42). On the first day of the week, we partake of the Lord’s Supper in memorial of Jesus’ death on the cross (Acts 20:7) and give as we have prospered as our means of continuing the work at this congregation (1 Cor. 16:1-2).

We encourage you to worship with us at any opportunity you may have. As a visitor, you are not expected, nor will you be asked, to make any form of contribution. We simply ask you to come with an open mind and an open Bible. We have Bible classes for all ages on Sunday mornings at 9:30 and Wednesday evenings at 7:30 and worship assemblies on Sunday at 10:30 AM and 6:00 PM, in addition to a number of special classes and services throughout the year.

In addition to our times of worship, if you live in the Louisville area, we would be happy to study the Bible with you in the comfort of your home.
