Who we are:
Sparta church of Christ is a non-denominational family of Christians worshipping and serving our Lord. The name "church of Christ" is a descriptive term and not a denominational title or affiliation. Our name "church of Christ" simply means that we are a church (people) that belongs to Christ. We are committed to being a Bible-based, Christ-centered fellowship that lives for the glory of God, the spiritual growth of people, and ministry to our community and the world.
Sparta is a church of about 130 Christians from all walks of life. We firmly believe that we are to be God's instrument to make a difference in the community where we live. As a result, we work especially hard to be sensitive to people seeking Christ. We want to be a place where people can comfortably come, regardless of their past, and know that they will be loved, accepted, and will find the help they need to make God a priority in their lives.
