ABOUT US

History: The Van Alstyne Church of Christ was founded in the 1800’s in the Mantua area, before moving to the Elmont area. The church moved to its current location in Van Alstyne in 1964 after Elbert and Bessie Hix donated the property for the church to be built. We are thankful for our heritage in Churches of Christ and our roots in the American Restoration Movement.
 

Now: We are more than our past. Though we are proud of where we have been, we are also glad to talk about where we want to go. If you visit VACofC, you will discover a group of Christians from various backgrounds who are seeking to follow Jesus faithfully. Our membership is diverse including business and professional people, young families, students, teachers, farmers, youth and senior adults. Our church family includes different races, different first languages, different levels of education and socio-economic backgrounds. We value these many differences but most of all we value the truth that unites us is the common Lordship of Jesus Christ. We are all sinners who need his forgiveness. Because we proclaim Jesus as Lord, we also share a sense of his mission to the world around us, both globally and right here in Van Alstyne. People everywhere need the life-changing message of God. We believe the gospel of Christ is far too powerful to leave any of us the way it finds us. We invite you to come join us as we seek the great purposes of God for his creation.
