A
Word From Our Minister
The Getwell Church of Christ has met on Getwell Road in Memphis since July
1950. The church which meets at Getwell and Dunn is a fully-organized,
New Testament congregation with both bishops and deacons (Philippians 1:1).
Three ministers, three secretaries, and a strong number of Bible teachers
and active members complement the work. The Getwell Church of Christ
is involved in many works vital to the advancement of the cause of Christ.
In addition to the day-to-day and week-to-week work of the congregation in
the three areas of reaching the lost, renewing the saved, and relieving the
needy, the congregation maintains a positive and powerful reputation for
being evangelistic.
The Truth In Love is one of the longest,
continuously running religious radio programs in the nation. Still
today, people comment that they recall listening to brother Emerson J. Estes
on The Truth In Love in the early days of the program.
The
Spiritual Sword quarterly journal, which began in October of 1969, has
been edited by Alan E. Highers since 1989 and brings into print some of the
finest literary efforts of noted men in the church today. Each number of the
journal is biblical, balanced, and conservative in content.
The
Spiritual Sword Lectureship had its beginning in October of l976. Each third full week in October
brethren from far and wide converge on Getwell to hear prominent preachers
present lessons on interesting and informative Bible subjects. The
effectiveness of the lectureship is extended by the accompanying
publications, and audio recordings of the lessons are made
available. The lectureship is one of the highlights of the year at
Getwell. It provides an opportunity to receive the warmth of the many
guests who come and to extend loving Christian hospitality to those whom we
have come to know and love over the years.
Opportunities with the television media are growing and
exciting. An area of work of which we are increasingly proud is Spiritual Sword
Media. Working in conjunction with the Gospel Broadcasting
Network, our television studio produces a number of high quality programs
both in terms of inherent quality and content.
The Getwell Church
of Christ is committed to the restoration of first century Christianity in
the twenty-first century.
