A Word About Us

OUR PRACTICES, AND ORGANIZATION

Seventh Street Christian Church is congregationally governed, with an elected board, elders, and deacons who serve worship and pastoral care functions, as well as both professional and volunteer staff who administer the work of the church.

In our sanctuary, the communion table holds a prominent, central place, reflecting the importance we place on the Lord’s Supper—also known as communion. We observe the Lord's Supper weekly as part of our worship. It is open to all followers of Christ, regardless of their church affiliation. Our practice recalls the Passover meal Jesus shared with His disciples the night before His crucifixion. He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you" (Luke 22:19-20)

We also emphasize the significance of baptism. We view this as a transformative entry into a new life in Christ and a union with the broader Christian community. At Seventh Street Christian Church, we baptize by full immersion. However, we welcome members who have been baptized differently without questioning the validity of their previous baptisms or requiring re-baptism for membership.
