The Broken Bow church of Christ is currently located on 259 Hwy across the street caddy-cornered from the local Wal-Mart store. We are a congregation of approximately 150 people with a good mix of age groups. We have several families who are retired, several in the middle age range with children who are in high school and several who are younger with small children. We are fortunate to have the type of family mix that leads to continued growth and development for the congregation. We believe in the truth of God’s word. We believe the Bible is, indeed, the plenary verbal inspired word of God. We believe we must have Biblical authority for all we teach and practice as God’s people. We believe the silence of the scriptures is prohibitive and we practice that which is authorized by command, example or implied inference in the scriptures. We believe the church is to be lead by elders when there are qualified men in the congregation to serve in this capacity. At this time we have three good men leading this congregation as elders. We also have five men serving under those elders as deacons who oversee the various aspects of the work of the church here. Our elders are doing an excellent job of directing the work of the church and we are involved in several areas. We support the "In Search Of The Lord’s Way" television program. We are also continuing to support our young people by helping with the Bible Chair and Campus Ministries at Southeastern University in Durant, Oklahoma, East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma, and in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We also have a program on the local radio station entitled "Heart Talk" that is broadcast five days a week throughout McCurtain County. Our young people have participated in the Leadership Training for Christ program at Tulsa, Oklahoma for the past several years with our young people doing quite well with their presentations. In addition to these, we are constantly looking for new and better ways to reach out to the Broken Bow community as well as the McCurtain County area. We are currently in the process of building a new facility that will be located seven or eight blocks from our present location. We will be located off the busy highway which will provide more safety for our children and give us much greater room for parking.
Needless to say, we are
excited about the future of the Broken Bow church of Christ. |
