Types of churches in Auburn

Auburn Student Churches

With Auburn University at the city’s center, these congregations cluster near campus and downtown around Toomer’s Corner, Samford Avenue, and College Street. They offer late-evening services, midweek worship, and small groups timed around class schedules and football weekends at Jordan‑Hare Stadium.

Contemporary Non-Denominational

Modern worship bands, practical teaching, and casual atmospheres draw young professionals and new residents. Many meet along East University Drive, Shug Jordan Parkway, or South College Street in flexible spaces with strong kids’ check‑in and active small groups across new apartments and subdivisions.

Historic & Liturgical

Traditional congregations with choirs and organ-led worship are rooted in older sanctuaries near downtown and along College and Gay streets. They emphasize reverent liturgy, seasonal observances, and intergenerational community life with service projects that support central Auburn neighborhoods.

Family Churches in Auburn

These congregations prioritize children’s programs, weekday preschool, and youth activities for families in neighborhoods like Cary Woods, Ogletree, Moores Mill, and East Lake. Sunday schedules often align with Auburn City Schools calendars and rec leagues at places like Duck Samford and Town Creek Park.

#SurpassingWorthOfChrist
“And his confidence is in the Lord. He's seeing his circumstances through the lens of faith. Listen to what else he says. He says, whatever gain I have, I count it as lost for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as lost because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake, I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ. The righteousness from God that depends on faith that I may know him and the power of his resurrection. May share in his sufferings becoming like him in his death that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Whatever this is costing him, it is clear what Paul has gained is Christ and the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus is far better than pursuing a life of complacent comfort, ease and worldly pleasure.”

#ShareTheGoodNews
“God is doing something great, and you get to be a part of it, which is exactly what the angel of the lord said. Do not be afraid. God is doing something great. He has raised his son Jesus from the dead, and you get to be a part of it. You go and tell the others. You take this good news. You be a witness to what you have seen. You go bring this joy and hope and peace and fulfillment to everybody. What great news.”
36s
#CalledByName
“That's when Jesus appears to her, but she doesn't recognize him. She thinks he's a gardener, but Jesus being the good shepherd who knows his own and calls them by name, he calls her name. And in that moment, she goes from instantly being numb with grief and fear to being overwhelmed with joy and hope because she got to experience all that she was seeking. Mary has witnessed death being triumphed by God's light and love.”
34s
#PromiseInTheStorm
“But as he walked out, he remembered a promise that he had made to God during those forty seven days of floating on the water, and he said, if I survive and you save me, I will serve you. Have any of you ever made a promise like that? And his heart was moved through the power of the holy spirit. He went back into the event, and he listened, really listened with the ears of his heart to what doctor Graham had to say. That night, Louis surrendered his life to Jesus.”
61s
#WoundsBringHealing
“And the soldiers that take him and flog him and and and stretch out his arm and his hand onto that cross and nail those nails into his hand, they have no idea. They just think they're hanging up another rebel, to show everyone else to keep silent. They have no idea that they are nailing their very own sins to this cross and the sins of all of humanity and all of those accusations that the enemy wants to bring to you and me about our shortcomings and our sin and our shame and our past and all these memories and things that keep us on the sidelines, that Jesus takes those up into himself and that those are nailed to the cross in that moment there. The very wounds of Jesus that he suffers and that are on full display, the people walk by and they shake their head just like looking at him, looking at the frailty and the weakness in all of those moments and no one knows or gets in that moment, but it's by those wounds that we will find healing.”
59s
#ResurrectionBecomesPersonal
“Now does that sound like someone who is experiencing joy? Not at all. There's anguish. There's fear. There's assumption. But nowhere is there an assumption of resurrection. It's anything but. She even sees Jesus, but it's so far beyond the possibility in her mind she doesn't recognize him. It isn't until she hears her name that it becomes personal. Did you notice that? In John's gospel, the key moment, at least for the women, is that moment when Jesus says, Mary. Everything changes when he calls her name. Resurrection does not become real until it becomes personal.”
64s
#MeetMeInGalilee
“Go tell the disciples he will meet you in Galilee. That while the disciples were running in one direction, Jesus was running in the other that what looked like defeat turned out to be victory because Easter is more than we can do by ourselves. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb on the first day of the week at dawn. And as we look back, God created the world in six days. And then God rested on the seventh. But on the eighth day, the first day of the next week, Jesus rose from the grave, that it is new creation.”
62s
#CostWithComfort
“There is a cost to following Jesus, but the cost comes with comfort. The comfort is he is with us. And in following Christ, we gain Christ. It's important for you to know, the men that heard that, this is how it played out for them. Matthew was beheaded by sword and Mark died in Alexandria after he was drugged through the streets. Luke was hung on an olive tree in Greece. John was boiled in oil. Peter was crucified upside down in Rome. James was beheaded in Jerusalem. The other James was thrown down and beaten to death with clubs. Philip was hung. Bartholomew was whipped and beaten to death. Andrew was crucified and while being crucified he preached to his persecutors at the top of his voice. Thomas was speared to death, Jude was executed by arrows, Matthias was stoned and beheaded, Barnabas was stoned and beheaded. None of these men died for a myth.”
42s
#SentByJesus
“For Kevin, the cross led him to serve others on a different continent, but here you and I are today. Take up your cross here today and see where Jesus leads you here today. Not only as one forgiven by Jesus, but as one sent by Jesus. There are good works that God has prepared in advance for me and for you to walk in here today. And there are people here and there that need to see what it looks like to walk by faith in Jesus on a daily basis. Again, when we respond in faith to follow Jesus, we don't just gain forgiveness, but so much more we gain Jesus.”
36s
#InvitationToChrist
“The whole point of this is to invite you to Jesus. And this invitation is not to a set of beliefs, although we do believe. And this invitation is not to a Bible verse that you can remember, although it is important to remember the word of God. No, the invitation is to Jesus, the person. He is the way and the truth and the life, and he has given his life for you. He loves you, and then in his own words, he wants you to know that. Like, how do you know that? Read John 17. I'll read it to you as we close today.”
