About The San Leandro Church of Christ
The San Leandro Church
of Christ is a group of Christians who are committed to worshipping
God, reaching our community with the message of Jesus Christ, and
growing toward spiritual maturity by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are people who love God, do our best to follow him, and who
cherish the relationship that we have with God because of Jesus'
saving actions on our behalf.
We
believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and because of
this we look to it for guidance in both the activities of church
life and in our personal actions. We consider it the
responsibility of each Christian to study the scriptures, develop
spiritual commitments and convictions, and to share those beliefs
with others as we live and work together as God's people. |

We are a church that has
a passion for prayer. We believe that God has placed his
Spirit in every Christian, and that as we seek him, the Holy Spirit
will lead and guide us in the direction that he wants us to go,
will continually change us to be more like Jesus, and will equip and
empower us to accomplish all that he has for us to do. We seek
God in prayer because we want to be following his plans rather than
our own. |

The San Leandro Church
is a diverse congregation that believes strongly in unity. Our
members come from a variety of racial and cultural backgrounds,
ages, family groups, and economic situations. While we agree on the
central matters of faith, we also enjoy the freedom to differ on
other spiritual issues. Each person holds their beliefs strongly and
for good reason, but we do not demand that everyone else believe
exactly as we do. We are united in our love and concern for one
another and in our commitment to the essential principles of
Christianity.

We
believe that God loves each and every individual, and as his highest
expression of that love, he sent his son Jesus to die on our behalf.
He did this so that each person might be able to enjoy the personal
relationship with God which has been broken by our sin. Those who
wish to join our fellowship must trust in the sacrifice of Jesus for
their forgiveness and salvation, demonstrate this faith in baptism,
and make an ongoing personal commitment to grow in their
relationship with the Lord.
We
think of our church as a spiritual family. If you look at us
closely, you will see that we are a collection of imperfect people
with all kinds of problems and struggles. The nice thing about that
is, when we turn to God, he accepts us where we are and then begins
to work in our hearts and lives. Because this is God's way, we also
try to be a helping, nurturing, and healing community where people
can find support and experience a sense of belonging.
