Our Mission: We exist to live, and help others live, a purposeful life by being more like Jesus.
At 13875 West 151st Street in Olathe, Kansas, you will find an enthusiastic, friendly and growing congregation of Christians striving to be all that God has called us to be. We are located in the greater Kansas City metro area. Our congregation is served by 7 elders, 2 ministers and 18 deacons, but the involvement of every member is our goal. We don’t believe or practice the cliché that 20% of the people do 80% of the work. Every member is encouraged to be engaged in ministry. We desire to serve God faithfully in our daily lives and to worship Him as a church body according to biblical guidelines. We believe this can be done in meaningful, relevant ways that may be called “traditional,” but which are much more than formalized rituals.
As a “church-planting church” our desire is to reach the greatest number of souls while maintaining both the dynamism and close fellowship of a medium-size congregation.
A Church-Planting Church
For several years the 151st Street Church of Christ had dreamed of planting a new congregation somewhere in the Kansas City area. As the congregation grew, the dream finally became a reality. In a celebration service on September 10, 2017, about 150 of our members were commissioned to plant what is now known as the Southpoint Church of Christ on Red Bridge Road in South Kansas City, MO.
If the Lord wills, we hope to someday grow to the point where we can repeat the process and plant another congregation somewhere in the KC Metro.
