Greetings to our brothers and sisters in Christ!
May the peace of Jesus Christ, and the blessings of God be with all who read this. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Barry Christian Church will not hold public worship services beginning Sunday March 22, 2020, and continuing for at least several weeks. Also, events such as Sunday School, Bible studies, and Lenten services have been temporarily suspended. This decision is in response to CDC recommendations, as well as mandates from the state of Missouri and the city of Kansas City, to limit social gatherings to a very small number.
Being among all of you more personally is certainly missed! But thankfully in our time, we have the medical means to not only understand but also how to combat an invisible enemy that threatens the world. We remember those suffering and especially those who have lost loved ones, while many of the rest of us shelter in place. We also remember the many whose jobs are affected by the shutdowns.
Possibly we can all relate to the verse of Deuteronomy 23:14: “Keep your camp ritually clean, because the LORD your God is with you in your camp to protect you and to give you victory over your enemies. Do not do anything indecent that would cause the LORD to turn his back on you.”
We will continue to follow guidance of CDC and the policies of our city and state, as we make decisions about resuming our public worship services. Please continue to join us as we share our messages on our website. We will continue our sermon series “The Seven Words of Jesus”, reflecting upon what Jesus conveyed to us as he endured his suffering on the cross. Audio recordings of our teachings are available through our “Sermons” link on our website
Please be safe and well our dear friends, and may blessings and God’s peace be with each of you. In time, we will once again gather together, as God intended for us.
Rev. Dr. Dennis Patience,
Pastor

Immediately on entering Barry Christian Church you will sense God’s presence. You are welcomed in a spirit of unconditional love and acceptance. You belong because you are valued. Here you can openly share your personal faith without fear of judgment. This safe haven is where you can have authentic and meaningful relationships, where the renewing and nurturing touch of the Spirit of God affects your life in a clear and powerful way. Here there is a hunger to know and serve God through the understanding of His Word, and our children are nourished in Christ’s teaching securing God’s kingdom for generations to come. You will find yourself willing to be used by God, to being sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and to embracing Jesus’ call to reach the lost and bring healing to the hurting.

It’s where with all your heart you will work for the Lord and in doing so find yourself longing to do more.

We are eager for you to visit and to make us your church home. WELCOME!

If you ask most anyone who attends Barry Christian Church why they attend they will most likely tell you it’s the friendliness, the connectedness one feels as soon as they enter. We are a caring, sharing, heartfelt family that loves the Lord and works together toward honoring God. On hearing God’s Word and putting it into practice we grow in grace and wisdom so we can spur one another on toward love and good deeds. We are a vibrant fellowship of believers who sing and laugh together, who pray together, who grieve together, who joyfully care for one another and pray for each other faithfully.
For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3:9 NRSV

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it." - Malachi 3:10
