Meeting at the Holiday Inn, Harrisonburg,VA (I-81, exit 247-A, Rt 33 E) Sunday 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Everyone is welcome! Welcome to The Church of Christ at Harrisonburg Holiday Inn web site in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Our purpose is to accomplish the mission orders given by King Jesus; to herald the good news and peace of Christ to the world, proclaim the word of truth to all people, and to be faithful in all things. We are a new testament (covenant) congregation, non-hierarchical, non-denominational, non-sectarian, non-creedal, with the New Testament as our rule of faith. Our beginning goes back to the day of Pentecost, A.D. 33, (Acts 2), which was the birthday of the Lord's church and the inauguration of the Kingdom of God. We invite you to browse the pages of this web site as we construct it in an ongoing ministry. We envision a forum for the dissemination of biblical truth in the areas of doctrine and teaching, for promotion of Christian ideas and fellowship, and to foster grace (favor) among all God's people. "Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think-according to the power that works in you-to Him be glory in the churchand in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." (Ephesians 3:20-21). WHAT'S BEING PREACHED?

(Facebook, December 3, 2009) When it comes to women in ministry... on Ressurection [sic] Sunday... The women were the last ones at the cross, 1st ones at the tomb... While the boys were sleeping they were looking for Jesus!! (Joyce Meyer)" It is a hermeneutical atrocity to use scripture to affirm something that another scripture denies. I started Bible college ministries in Ohio, and now in Virginia (with several branches) to try to save the Christian ministry from such incompetence but it seems like the battle is not going to be won. The reason for this is that ministers are led by their emotions, and by their heart, by public sentiment, and pressure from the pew. There is also social pressure from the political and secular world rather than Biblical reason. Such is the case with the above quotation and its intended purpose of undermining what the Bible teaches about the role of women in the congregation. 1 Corinthians 11:3 says that the head of the man is Christ and the head of the woman is the man. And 1 Timothy 2:12 says that a woman should not exercise authority over a man. Why don't we just leave it at that? One scripture cannot contradict what another scripture affirms. But the author's statement and pastor's endorsement of the aforementioned quote is an example of how people try to twist the scriptures (2 Peter 3:16) in their statement to the effect that, "The women being the last at the cross, and the first at the tomb" is evidence to justify women in church leadership. read more download God's D-mands for men
