Church Profile:
Located in the heart of Dixie near New Bloomfield, MO, Dixie Christian Church is a place where faith, community, and tradition come together. We are a welcoming congregation dedicated to sharing the love of Christ through worship, fellowship, and service. Since its founding in 1901, and its rebirth in 1956 after a fire, our congregation has remained steadfast in its mission to spread the love of Christ. As a church, we have many activities for families, youth, women, and men including outreach activities in our community to further this mission.
Dixie Christian Church is a congregational governed church with Sunday attendance of 35 to 50. In recent years, more young families have joined the church causing the Youth Group to become very active. Monthly activities are well attended and a yearly Youth Pie Auction is held as a fundraiser attended by many area residents. Dixie also has a dedicated group of women in its Christian Womenʼs Fellowship. Their Prayer Shawl Ministry has produced and delivered over 400 shawls currently. CWF collects donated personal care items from the congregation and distributes them to local homeless shelters, and baby care items to Faith Maternity Care, a local organization dedicated to assisting single mothers. The quarterly Menʼs Breakfast on Saturday also has a regular attendance. We are a working, dedicated congregation promoting Christian values and service. A committee has been formed to determine the feasibility of enlarging our current campus to accommodate our growing numbers.
