At Margaret Street our Emphasis is on Gaining Spiritual Knowledge. Hosea 4:6 The apostle Peter tells every Christian to be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in him. A believer ought then to be able to give an adequate answer to the question “Why are you a Christian?”  The command to be ready with an answer is not just for pastors, teachers and elders, but to each Christian. We encourage you to ‘dig deeper’ into the word and…

The Margaret Street Church of Christ has been actively involved in various mission works, both locally and in foreign fields, for many years. The members of our congregation take the Great Commission very seriously about reaching the lost, even “unto the uttermost parts of the earth.” (Matthew 28:19,20; Acts 1:8). MISSION: BRAZIL Our missionaries, Sebastian and Patricia Garcia, are working in Fortaleza, Brazil with the Conjunto Esperanza church of Christ.

Therefore, we want to provide support, encouragement, and spiritual nourishment to all our families in order to help them withstand those destructive forces. God said through the prophet Hosea, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6) He was talking about the Scriptures – that which through, “His divine power has given to us all things…

WHAT IT MEANS The meaning of benevolence is the “disposition to do good; kindliness; any act of kindness.” This is one of the things that God has always required of His people. New Testament Christians are encouraged to care for the poor. When we show our love and care for the poor and needy, we manifest God in ourselves for we are doing exactly what God desires and commands of us and it has a big impact not only upon…

Since its foundation in 1968, the mission of Lads to Leaders (L2L) has been to develop youth into Christian leaders. From a group of eight boys in that first year to more than 20,000 today, the mission has remained the same. Over a quarter of a million participants have obtained leadership training through the L2L program since 1968. While many congregations report that they are losing half or more of their youth, congregations that incorporate L2L events (especially year-round) are…
