Invite People to Christ: On-line Worship Service
Join with the Topeka Community of Christ Congregation Sunday Mornings @ 10:45 AM (Central Time Zone) for online, for a Worship Service, which is live streamed over Facebook.  You can join the service live stream ten minutes prior to the beginning of the service.

How do I watch in the Topeka CofChrist On-line Worship Service livestream?  This “Facebook Event” is hosted through the Topeka CofChrist Ministry Facebook Group. If you are not a member of this group, please request to join this private group through your Facebook account.

On Sunday mornings go to the Topeka CofChrist Ministry Facebook Group page.  A few minutes prior to the EVENT, you will see a reminder (bell) icon in the top right hand corner of your Facebook page.  If you click on the icon, Facebook will show a reminder. Click on the reminder, then click on “join event” button.  You do not need a special code to access this event.

Unlike our Coffee & Conversation meetings and our prior Zoom Worship live streams, this is a one-way view only event.  Facebook will show the number of people viewing the event, but will not show others who is viewing the event. Please contact Jim Fairchild if you should need assistance connecting with our Topeka CofChrist Ministry Facebook Group.


If you miss the "live stream" of our worship service, you can view the service at a later time on our Topeka CofChrist Ministry Facebook Group page.

​Abolish Poverty-End Suffering: Doorstep Topeka
Doorstep Newsletter – January 2021: The year 2020 was challenging for everyone is some way. Doorstep has felt very blessed during the year with the volunteers who were comfortable coming in to help the staff provide services, and sort donations... and there were many donations with people being home! We also felt very blessed, and supported by all of our donors, and the community as a whole, who helped keep our food shelves stocked throughout the year, and the monetary donations which kept our doors open, and services being provided. We will start 2021 operating the same way we have been in 2020, with phone intakes for services, and appointments for the clothing room.

At this writing we have not distributed our Christmas items yet, however, Doorstep still adopted the usual 260 households from the Christmas Bureau. This is over 800 individuals who will receive food, gift cards, blankets and health kits. We appreciate everyone who sent monetary donations to help with the increased budget to provide the gift cards this year; and, those who donated blankets, towels and hygiene items.

There will be no Operation Soup Line this year as the Board could not figure out a Covid safe, fundraising positive, way to carry out the event. We have asked our regular sponsors to still donate the funds and basically ‘sponsor Doorstep’ instead of the event this year as to not lose quite so much money by not having the fundraiser. We will still proceed with SouperBowl Sunday, February 7th with the collection of soup and crackers to help stock our pantry! Please collect these items to bring to your congregation, or to Doorstep. We cannot stress enough how thankful and blessed we feel to be so supported during this difficult time as we continue to help our neighbors in need the best way possible. See Doorstep Flyer posted below.


We work to Abolish Poverty & End Suffering by reaching out through compassionate ministries, in partnership with other faith communities and organizations that serve the poor and hungry and stop conditions that diminish the worth of persons. In addition to our tithes which fund Community of Christ operations, programs and missions; we partner with other faith communities and charitable organizations, to support the ministry of DoorstepTopeka.  We do this by providing volunteer service, tangible goods and financial support. For additional information regarding how you can assist Doorstep, please contact Ruth May.  ​
