A Brief History Christ’s Community in Price Hill was sent out in the summer of 2002 from Community Christian Church of Northern Kentucky. CCC had small groups, one of which was located in Cincinnati, mostly centered near Price Hill. That small group had some very healthy relationships and grew to about 25 members by early 2001. We knew we were too big a group to maintain close relationships, and it would be better if we multiplied into smaller groups, but we had a hard time saying goodbye to each other. Eventually, the idea arose to “be a house church” that met on Sundays, and then break into smaller groups during the week. That way, we could have small group relational intimacy and still see each other every week. What's more, we found that it was hard to invite people to drive across the river to go to church in Florence. So, after some months of prayer, the elders of CCC in Florence decided to send out the Cincinnati small group to reach the community of Price Hill. By September of 2002, the Price Hill United Church of Christ had reached the point of dissolving after 117 years of continuous ministry on McPherson. In the providence of God, we were starting as a church at the same time that they were closing, and to make a long story short, they blessed us and gave us their building in January of 2003. Our assemblies take place there at 10:30 on Sunday mornings. Those are the large group assemblies. But really, we are simply a network of house churches, each of which functions as a ministry center to its local neighborhood. So we meet whenever the small group meets—from house to house, eating meals together, sharing life together, sharing in our relationships and the common bond of our spiritual pilgrimage. What are we doing? We are striving to be authentic in our relationships as we journey together through life. We seek honest friends and value support. We offer words of comfort, helping hands and genuine friendship to one another. We believe that our society is starved for good relationships and for real family. So we strive to have real faith, be real family and real friends. We invite you to join us as we go on this great adventure together. |
