Ocean State Church of Christ

The Ocean State Church of Christ was planted in the summer of 2014 with 30 disciples. Our members come from as far away as England, California, and New Mexico, as well as all around New England. Our goal is to build a multi-cultural congregation committed to making Jesus Lord. We also strive to be multi-generational as well as inclusive of all social backgrounds because God loves all across ages, races, economic status, and walks of life! As of early 2015, our number has grown to 43 members and we have had over 90 in attendance for two weeks of the month of March.

We live in a beautiful state with tremendous college campuses- including Rhode Island College, Brown University, Roger Williams University, and many more- as well as a rich heritage of early American flavor. It is our prayer and desire to share the best news there has even been with as many people as possible, for the glory of God.

Ocean State Church of Christ Staff:

Jimmy and Anita Allen serve as the lead evangelist and women's ministry leader for our recently planted church. The Allens have served in the ministry for 30 years in North Carolina, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. They have three daughters, all in their 20's, who are serving and living for God in the Boston area. After serving for 20 years in the Greater Hartford Church of Christ, the Allens resigned in order to move to the Ocean State and to continue to see God work in amazing ways.
