Christ Church of Conroe, Texas
. . . by His grace, for His glory!
As of July 25, 2021 we will be returning to our main sanctuary for Sunday worship service each week. This comes after months of worshiping in our Fellowship hall due to damage to our main building from the February Texas freeze.
Come worship with us this Sunday and help celebrate our refurbished sanctuary and the faithfulness of our God in providing this physical renewal of our facilities
Praise God!
Pastor Dan went on to explain the definition and significance that “counterpoise” (the noun) might have as the primary position we, as Christians, so often are called to take in our American lives — standing in opposition to cultural norms. Nothing has changed in the decade or so since our initial conversation.
The world is still depraved and we are still biblically called to stand in firm opposition to that depravity.
We are also called by Christ to boldly go into our world and proclaim the “good news.” Given that reality, the word “counterpoised” (the adjective) aptly describes the life of Christians in today’s society. We live counterpoised against the normal picture of American family life by “loving our enemy.” (Matthew 5:43-48)
It is in the spirit of that conversation with Pastor Dan a decade ago that we begin our discussion. It is a discussion about how we are to live out the “Great Commission” text of Matthew 28:16-20. It is a discussion about biblical truths lived out daily.
So, in the spirit of that conversation with Pastor Dan so long ago, we’ll begin our conversation about how we stand in opposition to many of today’s forces challenging the gospel. It need not always be boisterous opposition, although that is also called for on occasion.
The simple reality of continuing brotherhood in a local church (like Christ Church) over the years while learning and hearing and living out biblical truths week after week, year after year, witnesses to our neighbors that we are sincere and lasting in our faith. That silent witness will, over time bear fruit.
Counterpoise!
Let us raise our communal glasses to it! Let us raise our congregational voices in song! Let us live our individual lives in witness to biblical truth!
We are pleased to announce that the integration of Christ Church into the Sovereign Grace Churches organization has officially begun. This week Mark Prater spoke about the Christ Church adoption in a conversation with Benjamin Kreps. Here is a quote from the video transcript of the conversation and a link to the original post:
“It just happened last week, officially. A church in Conroe, Texas, which is a Northern suburb of Houston. If you’re familiar with the Houston area, it’s up around the Woodlands section. And Christ Church of Conroe, Texas was officially adopted last week. What I mean by that is that the South Central region voted to formally and officially adopt this church into Sovereign Grace and to be a part of the South Central region. And we’re really excited about this church and having another church not only here in the States, but in the Houston area.” – Mark Prater, Executive Director of Sovereign Grace Churches.
Due to the recent winter storm, we are currently repairing and updating our main sanctuary building.
Worship is currently being held in our Fellowship Hall at 10:30 a.m. Sundays.
We have been blessed by the Lord in provision for this rebuilding effort and hope to have all repairs and revisions completed by mid summer.
We have enjoyed a long, rich history as an independent congregation. But, as we began to pray and consider the Lord’s direction for our future, we came to the conviction that God was opening a door for us to link arms with other like-minded churches. So, we are excited to announce that, as of May 2021, we have completed our adoption process into Sovereign Grace Churches!
Sovereign Grace grew out of a revival in the early 80’s and exists as a partnership for the planting and strengthening of local churches. Its roots come from both reformed and charismatic traditions, and our fellowship extends to many different contexts and cultures. So, while each congregation is unique, what binds us together as one family is our Confession of Faith, our 7 Shared Values, and the conviction that we are stronger together.
