Welcome to the Downtown church of Christ Library
- The library is open to everyone, member and nonmember.
- The Library is located on the other side of the hall on the east side of the Auditorium.
- The materials of the library (books, cassette tapes, CD’s and VHS tapes) are to aid the believer in their Christian walk, and the nonbeliever in the search for the truth.
- There is no attendant in the library. Materials are checked out on the honor system. There should be a check-out card with each item. We ask that you put your name on the card and leave it in the tray on the desk.
- There is no set time limit for returning the item. We realize you may be using the item for in-depth study or a class, and will need the item for an extended time. When you have finished, return the item.
- If an item is lost or damaged please let us know so the item can be replaced. You will not be charged for the item.
- If you have a special request, leave a note in the tray or call Jesse Harmon (268-6948).
- See book recommendations on topics like Discipleship/Evangelism, Outlook/Ministry, Small Groups, Leadership, Work and the Church, House Churches and Church Planting. Lists provided by OutReach America, our domestic missions ministry.
Library Catalog Search
Use this search to find books you are interested in, then get them at the church library, remembering to fill out and leave the card on the desk.
Search Tips:
- You may choose to search on title, author, classification or any combination thereof.
- The search is not case-sensitive.
- For title, we recommend using just one word.
- For author, we recommend only using the last name, but If you wish to enter the first and last name, use the form "lastname, firstname" (ex: Dobson, James).
- For classification, you will notice we have a customized system for a church library that is different from a public library. Major categories are capitalized in the menu below with subcategories under them. (To clear out a classification you chose previously, choose the first blank line in the list.)
- If you leave all three fields blank, you will get a list of ALL resources in the library. It may take a moment to display, depending on your connection speed.
