The South Green Street Church of Christ
It appears impossible to establish the exact time when the church in Glasgow had its beginning. Various local histories allege that Alexander Campbell preached in Glasgow as early as 1823. However, Campbell's first mention of Glasgow was in reference to a visit in December of 1830, at which time he preached. Thus 1830 is generally recognized as the beginning of the church in Glasgow.

The South Green Street Church of Christ is one of the largest and fastest growing churches of Christ in Kentucky. In the past decade, we experienced a 95% growth rate. As a church, we are committed to the concept of being the body of Christ on earth today. Just as Jesus functioned in the world through his physical body, He continues to function in the world today through His spiritual body, the church. We are trying to be Christ's point of contact with the world.

To what do we owe our success in a time when so many churches are declining? Well, I would credit our growth to a number of things, but at the top of the list would be our commitment to the word of God, a strong and stable eldership, and a membership that exists in peace and harmony. I believe people are looking for a church that avoids social and political agendas and simply preaches the word of God and consistently lives it out in their lives. And that is what we are attempting to do.

If you are ever in the Glasgow area, we would love to have you visit and worship with us. I can assure you that you will receive a warm and friendly welcome.

Ministries
We are committed to the priesthood of all believers and strive to involve every member in the ministry. At the same time, we realize that as a body, not everyone is gifted to perform the same functions.  Thus we have attempted to develop a program of work that is broad enough to involve every member in ministry.  Presently, we have 50 ministries that offer nearly 200 specific works in which our members can become involved.  You may view our Ministry Handbook, which provides a description of each ministry and breaks down all the specific duties under each ministry.

Work Plan
We have prepared this 2008 Work Plan as a tool for the congregation to use during the coming year. With 270 families and nearly 50 different ministry programs, it is very challenging to communicate effectively with everyone. We hope and pray that this document helps to facilitate this communication not only today, but throughout the year, as well.

We have asked each member of the congregation to review this Work Plan and then challenge themselves for greater participation and involvement in ministry. While every member cannot participate in every ministry, there is a place for everyone. Look at the work and see where you can make a positive contribution. We also ask that you help us as we search for additional areas of work that will allow us to expand the breadth of our ministries in the years ahead.

 If the Lord wills.
