Do You Have a Student or Are a Student that is Planning to Attend Auburn?

For most students the college experience is the first time in their to lives to be away from family and live on their own. Because of this, it is a time for greater independence and  responsibility. As they exercise this new found freedom to make their own choices they will also experience the consequences of those choices for both good and bad. The greatest choice that a student will make is whether or not he will serve God with all of his heart (Josh 24:15; Mt 22:37-39).

The prepared Christian understands the provisions the Lord has made to keep us in His love (Jude 20-21). The local church serves as a major bulwark against the assaults of Satan (Eph 4:14-16). At the University church of Christ we are dedicated to help every member to grow in the truth of God. We are committed to functioning as a local church should in not only having our assemblies be a place to be exhorted and encouraged, but we also work diligently to build up each other on a daily basis (Heb 10:23-25).

Opportunities in Our Work Together

We encourage every student who is a Christian to become a member of the University church. As  members we will work together in watching out for each other and in developing our talents to serve in God's kingdom. We have been blessed to have a large number of students who are active in working together and planning various events for mutual encouragement. Here is a list of some of the opportunities found at the University church.

1. We put a priority on  serving Jesus as our Lord (Lk 6:46). As a result we are careful to stay within His authority in all things (Col 3:17).

2. We are dedicated in having Christ-centered, Bible-centered preaching and teaching. We take care to give heed to proper doctrine and the spirit of love that must accompany it (1 Tim 4:12-16). All of our sermons and many of our class outlines and audio are posted to this website. Our beliefs are not held in a secret corner but proclaimed boldly and publicly. We welcome public scrutiny because we want all to know God's truth but also because we know that we are fallible and are thankful when others kindly correct us in any matter.

3. For our students we will have a Sunday Night devotional and singing in a home every two weeks. You may listen to our past devotionals that are also posted to our website.

4. We have an "adopt-a-student" program that encourages greater communication and involvement with the "resident" families and our students.

5. Every Christian in the church is encouraged to develop their talents to serve others. Men are trained and used to lead in public worship and preaching. We also work with developing teachers to be used in our Bible classes.
