Minister's Corner
Greetings,



I’m Sherman Offord, full-time evangelist and minister at the Lord’s congregation that assembles at
1228 Hampton Ave. NE in Aiken, SC. 1 am married to the former Yvonne Bradley of Sumter, SC, one
son Brian Bradley of San Diego, Calf. And one daughter Takenya Bradley of Aiken, SC.



I’m a 1998 graduate of the Northwest Florida School of Biblical Studies in Pensacola, Fl. which was
under the oversight of the Elders of the Ensley church of Christ (presently the Milestone church of
Christ), Ken Burleson, Director. I’ve preached Gospel Meetings and Lectureships in Florida,
Louisiana, North and South Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama.



After visiting our website I personally invite you to come and visit the congregation where the only
creed is the Bible. We are Bible –centered, Bible – based. We are New Testament Christians, who hold
to the inspiration of the entire Bible, 2 Tim 3:16-17; 1 Pet 1:3. We understand that the Old
Testament’s purpose is to teach us FAITH (Gal 3:24-25) and to bring us to THE FAITH (Rom 1:17).
In essence God taught mankind the CONCEPTS of FAITH in the Old Testament which brings us to
the APPLICATIONS of FAITH in the New Testament.



We are the ONE CHURCH for which Christ suffered, bled and died, (Matt 16:18; Acts 20:28).
Entrance may only be gained by the following KEYS:



1. Hear the gospel, Matt 13:14-17, Jn 6:44-45.

2. Believe the gospel, Heb 11:6; Jn 8:24.

3. Repent of your sins, Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30.

4. Confess faith in Christ, Matt 10:32; Acts 8:37; Rom 10:9-10.

5. Be baptized in water, Matt 28:19; Acts 22:16.

Only after following all of the above steps will the Lord ADD YOU TO HIS BODY, THE CHURCH,
Acts 2:47 (Col 1:18,24).

Then you are in Christ, Gal 3:26-27; Eph 1:3; Rom 8:1.



If your faith cannot stand investigation, then you do not have the one true faith the Bible speaks of in 1
Pet 3:15.
