Who we are
The La Vista Church of Christ, located on the south side of Omaha, Nebraska, has no bowling league, no softball team, nor does it sponsor a Boy Scout troop. We have an air-conditioned building with several rooms for Bible classes, but there is no kitchen, no banquet hall, no gymnasium, or party room.
Perhaps you are wondering what kind of church is this, or what the church offers the community. Quite simply, we are a church that follows after the pattern of the New Testament. We are not a social club, nor a civic organization, nor a political forum, nor a welfare institution. While the influence of the church and its members are felt in all these areas, the church, itself, is none of these things. The church is a spiritual institution, which administers to the spiritual needs of its members and the community.
The church founded by Jesus Christ fulfills a need that no human institution could possibly perform. We deplore the fact that so many religious organizations have smothered the true purpose of the Lord's church beneath civic, social, and domestic affairs. They feed hungry souls with hamburgers, but we feed the soul with the teachings of Christ (John 6:26-35).
The church exists "in order that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Ephesians 3:10-11). It is a sacred institution that no community social club can match and to alter the church into a social club would cheapen the very institution for which Jesus died (Acts 20:28).
Some reading this may think, "We live in the 21st Century. The church must meet the needs of modern society." If you think this, then you are right! Our society has civic and social organizations which meet the physical needs of our community. But what this day and time woefully lacks is emphasis on the soul of man, his moral duty, and his eternal welfare. The church must meet the need of mankind today -- the very greatest need of all -- instruction in how to serve God and keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
What this congregation of the Lord's people specializes in is in being a church as defined in the New Testament. Our primary concern is with the spiritual needs of men and women -- their need for God, for forgiveness of sins, for genuine God-pleasing worship, for pure lives that live in accordance with God's Word. Come and visit us soon. We invite you to make an honest investigation of Christ's church in this community.
As part of our effort to teach God's message, we regularly place articles on this site. Take time to read them. We welcome questions concerning the Bible, which we will try to answer in accordance to God's Holy Word (I Peter 4:11). Lessons presented at the congregation are posted for your use. We hope you will enjoy the information you find here and perhaps learn something that will benefit your life.
Enjoy the day the Lord has given us, The Saints at La Vista

La Vista Church of Christ History
The La Vista Church of Christ was established in September of 1971. There were two families living in the area and they met for a time in the home of Ken and Rita Hirshey and their children. The other family was Wally and Nellie Bates and their children. Ken worked in a government position and Wally was in the military. Tim and Judi Fox joined the congregation soon after. Tim was also in the military.
In 1972 Ken and Wally met with the school board of the Parkview Heights Elementary School in La Vista. The board allowed the congregation to meet in their gymnasium on Sunday for worship. Various locations were used for the Wednesday night Bible study.
Additional families began to worship with the congregation. Property was secured at 89th and Granville and the building process began in 1975. The first service was held in the new building in December of 1975.
The congregation grew to approximately 80 in 1994. However, due to many military families and other job related situations, we lost 7-9 families that year. The congregation again grew to approximately 80 members in 2000, but again shrank due to families moving out of the area.
The congregation has approximately 50 members at this time. However, over the course of the past 42 years over five hundred people have been members of the La Vista Church of Christ.
Preachers at La Vista have been:
Terry Johnson, 1974-1977 (approximately) Shelby Sanders, 1978-1982 Mike Divis 1984-1994 Carl MacMurrary 1990-1993 Jeffrey Hamilton 1995-present
