Seeking... Serving... Sharing... Christ
The mission of the Bourbonnais church of Christ is to seek to
know, worship, serve and share Christ with the world by: “…admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom
so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28)
Following Jesus as Lord, each striving to do this
by:
1. Studying diligently the word of God, practicing
Godliness and making prayer a way of life
2. Developing our personal faith as we practice Godliness and develop the character of Christ in our
lives
3. Identifying and making use of our individual spiritual gifts; relying on God’s Spirit within us
4. Strengthening our families and serving as extended family to one another
5. Strengthening/loving/serving relationships within His body, our church family
6. Leading, participating and supporting missions of teaching, evangelizing and caring for
others.

As preaching minister of the Bourbonnais church of Christ, it is a pleasure for me to welcome
you to our church web site.
In John 17:3 Jesus gives us HIS definition of eternal Life:
“Now this is eternal life; that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you
have sent”. NIV
In John 10:10 Jesus said;
The thief comes only to kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to
the full.” NIV

Eternal life is meant to be MUCH MORE than going to heaven when I die; It’s living life to the full
RIGHT NOW by having a deep, living, real, personal relationship with the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom He has sent.
That is what we seek for everyone here at the Bourbonnais church of Christ.
When I came here in 1990, I knew that I had found a home. The Bourbonnais church of Christ is a
joyous, warm, sincere body of believers who open their arms to lovingly embrace God’s family. I
have seen God’s transforming power as we have labored together to expand His Kingdom and to “SEEK,
SERVE & SHARE CHRIST in the greater Kankakee River Valley area.
And I know that we are a people committed to celebrating Jesus Christ, His life, death,
resurrection and triumph over sin so that, by His grace, we can be saved.
Our church is a family that seeks to be found faithful as God's people. We come from all parts
of the county and beyond and from many different walks of life. Although we are diverse in
backgrounds, we share a very strong common bond with our faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus the
Christ. We take seriously His teaching and seek to practice our faith each day in our church, in
our homes and in the work place.
If we can minister to you or with you, please contact us. If you have any questions that cannot
be answered from the website, don't hesitate to e-mail through the Contact page or call (815-939-9001).
