"Equipping people to take their NEXT BEST STEPS closer to Jesus!"
At Waverly Church of Christ, we believe that spiritual growth isn’t about giant leaps—it’s about faithful steps. Everyone is on a journey, and no matter where you are in yours, there's always a next step to take. And everyone's next step is probably going to be different. That step might be walking into a worship service for the first time... It might be deciding to be baptized for the forgiveness of sins... It might be recommitting your heart after a difficult season... Or it might be leading, serving, or discipling someone else.
Whatever it is, our role as a church is to equip you—not just to believe in Jesus, but to become more like Him. Our aim isn’t perfection—it’s progress. It’s not about rules—it’s about a relationship. And it’s not about just attending church—it’s about becoming the Church.
We exist to come alongside you with encouragement, teaching, community, and opportunities to grow. Because we believe that when every person in the church is becoming more like Christ, the church itself becomes a powerful witness to the world. So, what’s your next best step? Wherever you are, we’re ready to walk with you.
"...and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, ..." – Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV (Excerpt)
So how do we equip people for their journey?
We believe in a simple but powerful process: Worship. Wellness. Work.
Worship – We gather weekly to lift up the name of Jesus, refocus our hearts, and grow in God’s Word together. Worship is our surrendered response to who God is and what He has done.
Wellness – We grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally through authentic community. Bible study, fellowship, and spiritual formation help us walk in wholeness and Christ-like maturity. We believe wellness is about continuing to be sculpted into the image of Jesus.
Work – We serve others, use our gifts, and engage in the mission of God. Whether it’s in our community, through outreach, or even just toward one another we believe everyone has a role to play in the Kingdom as we serve Christ together
"The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God." – Psalm 92:12-13 ESV
We’re not here to build a crowd—we’re here to build disciples.
At Waverly Church of Christ, we believe the Church is most alive when it’s moving forward with purpose. Our future isn’t just about filling seats; it’s about helping folks and families to reach their greatest potential in Christ, with Christ, and for Christ.
We envision a church that’s not defined by its building, but by its people:
– People who worship passionately and live with purpose.
– People growing in spiritual and emotional health.
– People who see every part of life—work, school, family—as a mission field.
As we look to the future, our desire is to deepen our roots and widen our reach. To us that means:
We don’t know every detail of what God has planned, but we’re committed to walking forward in faith, staying rooted in His Word, and responding to His leading. The story of WCC is still being written—and we believe the best is yet to come. We’d love for you to help us write the next chapter.
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen..” – Ephesians 3:20-21 ESV
