The Walnut
congregation of the church of Christ has had elders, deacons, ministers and
leaders since the 1920’s who, guided by biblical teaching, have tirelessly
worked and reached out to expand the borders of the Kingdom of God in
Texarkana. A perception that God’s
church was growing, planning to glorify God is every effort to achieve that
growth, and an unrelenting perseverance in those efforts in times of peace,
war, financial prosperity and a constant vigilance in the Word has resulted in
the present stability, strength and permanence, resulting in a positive public
reputation in the Four States area.
As good as that has been, that is
all “the past;” the present is a congregation wanting to represent God now and
in the future as we continue to strive to follow God’s will, increase our
impact in this area and look to the future to accomplish more to the glory of
God.
We take extremely important Proverbs
29:18 that tell everyone – everywhere – that where there is no vision, the
people…people will perish. The growth
and strength of this body of believers is constantly reminded of the vision of
its leaders the past 90 years. The
strong foundation, and the building thereon, has resulted in the Walnut
congregation being a force for God, not only in Texarkana, but the entire Four
States area. We have been incredibly
blessed.
As we look to the future, knowing
the foundation that was laid, the path that has been followed and desiring to
catch God’s plan in our vision we have committed ourselves to:
1) flourish in
our numerical growth;
2) constantly improve and enlarge the ministries we have;
3) encourage the congregation to impact this entire geographical area for
Christ;
4) constantly seek his guidance in all things.
To live as Christ would have us live is our
goal. To share Christ with all our
neighbors is our constant opportunity.
Come, catch the vision with us.
Our cup overflows.
