Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer and gave us examples of how to pray. Prayer includes but is not limited to: praise for God, kingdom petitions, God's will, requests for daily needs, forgiveness of ourselves, our forgiveness of others and deliverance from evil.
As a family of believers we value time spent together in worship, in study, and also in settings that are less formal. We enjoy being together and we value the bonds that unite us as believers.
Our worship involves singing songs of praise and reflection to God. Our music is made of simple song, with lyrics inspired from the Word of God, his works, and his character. We use no instruments of music; we lift only our blended voices to God in praise. We encourage all to sing, for this we are commanded to do.
Our worship involves the teaching/reading of God’s Word. Each Sunday we gather together to hear messages spoken from God’s Word. The sermons that are preached are plain, earnest, Christ-centered, and relevant.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” – Romans 3:23
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” – Romans 10:17
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” – Acts 2:38
“Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. – Romans 10:9-10
“And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.” – Acts 22:16, Acts 2:38 (see above)
And He said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”– Luke 9:23
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.”– 1 John 1:7

Walter Johnson - Elder
I was born and grew up in White Plains, NY where I graduated from high school and met Susan, my future wife, who introduced me to the Church. I grew up in the Congregationalist church. Susan and I went to different colleges and our paths did not cross again until we both moved independently to Delaware. Shortly after we married in 1987, we decided to worship at the Cedars Church of Christ.
I graduated from St. Lawrence University and spent my career in banking and finance at The Bank of New York and then Merrill Lynch where I was a financial adviser and Certified Financial Planner.
I was a middle and high school bible class teacher for nine years in White Plains and church treasurer in White Plains and Cedars/Greenback for fourteen years. I was a deacon for many years before becoming an elder in 2022.
We each need to have our own mission(s) and to be rooted in a love and dedication to our God and His Son and Scripture and to reflect this in our lives.
