We strive to follow the pattern of the Bible and the first century Christians in everything we do. This is true of our worship as well. The church in Joliet meets every first day of the week to sing together, pray, partake of the Lord’s Supper, read from His Word, and give an offering back to Him. Congregational, acapella singing is the authorized way we praise God in song (Col 3:16-17). Open communion is offered every Lord’s Day to remember the death, burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Acts 20:7). An opportunity to give back to the Lord is provided for the members and not solicited from visitors. The Bible is bold and simple and we endeavor to present lessons that inspire, challenge and cause self- examination (1 Thes 2:23). For those wishing to put on Christ through water baptism, a baptistry is ready for immersion into the forgiveness of sins (Col 2:12). The Joliet church of Christ believes the Bible is to be believed, to be taught, and to be followed.
