State Lectureships have been part of our brotherhood for many decades. They
have proven to be effective instruments in helping brothers and sisters from state
to state to actively love the brotherhood (I Peter 2:17).
Love shown at these events manifest itself in providing opportunity for those who
are of the faith “once delivered to the saints” to share in fellowship with one
another. They discuss their faith to speak with unity on matters of faith. They also
have found opportunity to review the state of the work in the state and plan
missions to further evangelize it.
Churches across the state engage in methods that have proven effective for their
cities. This is cause for great celebration. It also provides opportunity for other
churches to assess how similar practices might result in the expansion of the
kingdom of God where they work.
The churches of Christ want to be diligent about building up new churches and
establishing churches in areas where it does not exist. To these ends, the
lectureship gives us a forum to map out strategy, commit to funding, and support
preachers who will work in these mission areas.
Most fulfilling for those who have attended state lectureships over the years is
experiencing the bonding and genuine love manifested in our continued willingness
to be concerned about spiritual things, as well as each other. And as each
generation grows older, it is joy beyond compare to see younger church members
taking on the tasks of building up the churches of Christ in their home state.
We are thankful for yet another opportunity to live up to the purpose of fulfilling the
will of God in our thoughts, actions, love, fellowship and work for the Lord.
