Name
Kent Hartman
What was your life style like when you deciced to follow Jesus?
I was raised by Christian parents and my grandparents were Christian also. I was trying to live for God from an early age.
What year were you baptised?
1967. Twelve years old.
Where did you begin to worship and what was your first impression of the church?
Sayie, Oklahoma. My grandfather was an elder at the church, my uncle led singing and was a deacon, one of my aunts taught Bible class. Church was a “family thing” that we all did together.
What difficulties / challenges did you have in striving to be like Jesus?
Probably not feeling the full impact of me being a sinner and in need of God’s grace and mercy.
What challenges did you have in feeling part of the Lord’s body?
Few because of my families involvement and their desire to get me involved. I was shy and it took some coaxing by some of them to get me to lead spiritually.
What principles of the Restoration movement (restoring Christianity as in the New Testament) are important to you?
Just following Jesus and his word.
The bible is our sole authority to know what God wants.
Lost people need to hear about Jesus.
What did you think about having no musical instruments in worship?
It seems natural to me - growing up in the church. I saw the instruments were commanded in the Old Testament, but were not used in worship in the New Testament.
What spiritual interest did you have before becoming a Christian?
Mainly the influence of my grandparents as they tried to help us grandchildren understand God.
What is important to you, in how you walk in Jesus today?
Trying to become more like Jesus in my thoughts and my actions towards others.
Bringing people to Jesus in order that they can come to know him.
My life match up to my words.
Where do you worship today? Approximately how many brethren?
Memorial Road, church of Christ. 2700.
What roles do you carry out in the church?
Teach community outreach class.
Cook and help with Celebrate Recovery -
