Directions to the Mill Creek building. The Mill Creek Church of Christ is located about seven miles west of Russellville, Arkansas, just off Interstate 40. The building can best be reached by taking the London exit (I-40, exit 74)and then Arkansas 333 0.3 miles south into the small town of London. At the "T" of Arkansas 333 and U. S. 64, turn left (east) and continue eastward 2.8 miles until reaching Mill Creek Road. Turn right (north) on Mill Creek road and go under the I-40 bridge spanning Mill Creek. Continue around the bend of the reservoir for 0.8 miles. The Mill Creek church building is a white-frame building on the right as you begin going up the hill.

About the ministers and congregation. The Mill Creek Church of Christ is served by Jack Barber (whose family attends the Downtown Church of Christ in Morrilton). Jack preaches every other Sunday of each month, and other local preachers fill in on alternate Sundays. Mill Creek does not currently have midweek services due to the fact that many of members do not drive after dark.

What you may expect when you visit Mill Creek. At Mill Creek, God's word is taken as the final authority for everything we do. Bible classes and sermons are heavily Scripture based, and an effort is made to find a "thus saith the Lord" for all decisions and actions. The fact that song services are a cappella (without instruments—following the pattern of New Testament worship) is just one of the indications of our desire to "speak where the Bible speaks, and remain silent where the Bible is silent." Sunday school is at 10:00 a.m., and the morning worship service begins around 10:50. Sunday afternoon services are at 4:00 (in order to permit parents of young men involved in the Lads to Leaders program to attend their sons' presentations at Mill Creek and then return to the Dover or West Side congregations for evening worship).

Core beliefs. We believe that a person becomes a Christian when, in faith, he or she repents of a past life of sin, confesses Jesus as Lord, and is baptized for the remission of his sins (Acts 16:31; Mark 16:16; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21). According to the teaching found in such passages as Acts 2:41 and Acts 2:47, those who obey the Gospel and become Christians are then automatically added by God to the church of Christ. No separate action needs to be taken, or can be taken, to add one to the church. No one "votes" a Christian into the church that Christ bought with His blood (Ephesians 5: 25-31).

We find in the Scriptures that once a person becomes a Christian, he or she is cleansed continually while walking in the light (1 John 1:7 - 2:5). Being saved is not an "in, out, then back in" type of arrangement as the Christian is forgiven, then occasionally sins, then is forgiven. But there can be a point at which the Christian no longer is walking in the light, has fallen back into sin (2 Peter 2), and thus can be lost. When the Christian commits a sin, he or she should repent and pray for forgiveness (Acts 8:22).

The Bible teaches that heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people (see the teachings of Matthew 25), and that judgment will be without warning, swift, and unavoidable (2 Peter 3:8-13). Thus, in view of these teachings we strive to lead dedicated lives for Christ each and every day.
