Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

Yes, it is a small fellowship. We probably know some of the same people. But, I will warn you that some of the one cuppers read here, so it maybe best not to reveal too much of yourself if you don't want them to know your here. I received a lot of backlash. There is so much joy in the freedom I feel...

Hi,

I mostly lurk here, but I am from the one cup, no hair cutting and pants wearing for women church. I left 30 years ago. I still love the people very much, but am so happy to be free of that mindset.

Welcome

I gave my childhood COC a 149. I perceived our main leader as incredibly domineering while others just thought he was a strong leader. But, maybe that's why I left and they are still there.

You are not suppose to take communion if you are not a member of the one cup church, but they don't stop anyone from taking communion. The cup and loaf are passed around the whole church, pew by pew. You either take some or just pass it on. I believe someone says before communion who can take it.

Hi, I am also from a coc that does not allow hair cutting for women. It took many years after leaving to be able to cut my hair. It is now shoulder length and I love it.
