Welcome to the website for the West Riverside church of Christ in McMinnville, TN! This website serves as an expedient in taking the Gospel unto the lost (Matthew 28:18-20), edifying the members (Ephesians 4:16), and being an example unto the world by way of providing information about the congregation as we support the truth (Matthew 5:14). I Timothy 3:15 tells us that the church of the living God is the pillar and ground of the truth. One of the greatest ways to reach the lost is by way of the World Wide Web and thus this website was officially created on January 1, 2026 to serve as a support of the truth! We are so thankful that you have come to visit the website and we hope that you find your stay very fruitful.
You should know that the West Riverside church of Christ is a loving church seeking to edify each other as we shine as lights unto the world. In Acts 2, the church of Christ was founded by Jesus Christ on the first Pentecost after His resurrection (Matthew 16:18). The church is built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets with the Chief Cornerstone being Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:19-22, I Peter 2:4-6, I Corinthians 3:11, Isaiah 28:16, Matthew 16:18). The church of Christ has no earthly headquarters, but her headquarters are found in Heaven, where Jesus sits on the Right Hand of the Throne of God (Acts 2:29-31). The church of Christ is made up of many congregations, such as Corinth of Bible times (I Corinthians 1:2) and Philippi (Philippians 1:1). Romans 16:16 says, “The churches of Christ salute you.” The West Riverside church of Christ functions as all faithful congregations of the church of Christ do under the Head of the church, Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:18).
The West Riverside church of Christ follows no traditions of men (Colossians 2:8). We seek to always speak where the Bible speaks and to be silent where the Bible is silent (Revelation 22:18-19, Galatians 1:6-9). The miraculous ceased on the earth when the revelation was completely given and proven to be from God (I Corinthians 13:8-10, Mark 16:20, Hebrews 2:3-4). The revelation of God was completely given in the First Century (II Peter 1:3, Jude 3), thus miracles ceased when the Apostles and those upon whom Apostles laid their hands to impart miraculous gifts died (Acts 8:5-24). We know that the Holy Scriptures contain all things that we need to know in order to go to Heaven, because they are breathed of God and are profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness making the man of God complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (II Peter 1:3, II Timothy 3:16-17). The Old Law has been nailed to the cross, so we do only that which is authorized by Jesus Christ in the New Testament, which is binding upon us today (Colossians 2:14, 3:17). We do attempt to learn from the examples of the Old Testament, which was written for our learning (Romans 15:4, I Corinthians 10:11).
We assemble on the first day of every week to offer worship unto God in spirit and in truth, which involves preaching and listening to preaching, singing, praying, offering, and observing the Lord’s Supper (John 4:23-24). We also have two regular times for Bible Study classes every week. The West Riverside church of Christ follows exactly what the church of Christ of the First Century followed and that is God’s Word and God’s Word alone.
The church of Christ was originally established in Jerusalem in or around the year 30 (Isaiah 2:1-4, Luke 24:49-50, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 2:41, 47). The congregation of the church of Christ at West Riverside was established in 1894. All that the church is commanded to do by Scripture falls within three categories: evangelism (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, II Timothy 2:2), edification (I Corinthians 14:12, Hebrews 5:12-6:2), and benevolence (Matthew 22:27-40, James 1:27, Galatians 6:10). The West Riverside congregation fulfills these works by way of sound Gospel preaching from the pulpit and sound Gospel teaching in each Bible study class. The congregation offers classes for all ages on Sunday morning and Wednesday night. The congregation hosts a yearly Gospel Meeting, Gospel Singing, and Ladies Day. The congregation also helps to spread the Gospel through the publication of a weekly evangelistic bulletin, this online website, and the financial support of missionaries. The congregation also attempts to help in the training of future Gospel preachers and teachers. The congregation offers many opportunities for fellowship among her members and opportunities for our youth to grow. The congregation is committed to helping those who are truly in need. As you can see, the West Riverside church of Christ is a very active church involved in many areas of the Lord’s work.
Please take the time to view the links on this website to find out more about who we are, what we stand for, and what we offer to the world. It is our sincere desire that you will visit one or more of our services. We love to have visitors and believe that if you will visit with us, we will do thee good!
