Monte Vista church of Christ

About this church

Monte Vista church of Christ in Phoenix offers Sunday Bible study at 9:30 a.m. and worship at 10:30. Its visitor guide explains the service in unusual practical detail: seating is unreserved, prayers are offered, the Lord's Supper is served every Sunday, and the congregation sings without instruments using songbooks. A sermon and invitation follow, and visitors may complete a card but are not obligated to participate in every element.

A weekly collection is taken for members; the church specifically says guests are not expected to give. Communion uses unleavened bread and grape juice as memorials of Christ's body and blood. The congregation describes its purpose as worshiping God, studying Scripture, encouraging one another, and teaching the gospel, rather than functioning as a social club. Its baptism teaching favors immersion, consistent with its Church of Christ identity. These published details remove much of the uncertainty that can accompany a first visit: someone can arrive for the 9:30 class, remain for worship, sit anywhere, follow the songbook, and observe without pressure. Families should still contact the church for current children's-class and accessibility information, which is not developed in the main visitor explanation.
