Welcome back once more to the "Church of Christ Celebrities" blog! As I mentioned at the very end of my previous post, I will be taking a break from blogging again after this entry (for more context, head on over to my personal/general interest blog), but we've got one more subject to investigate today--the religious …

Welcome back for another multi-part entry here at the blog! I've been putting in overtime lately, it seems, with recent entries on country musicians and rock stars, but today we leave the stage for tracks and fields. More directly, today's entry highlights three reader-suggested athletes with possible connections to Churches of Christ: track stars Bobby …

Hello and welcome back to the "Church of Christ Celebrities" blog for our second consecutive two-parter! Last time out, we focused primarily on the world of country music, exploring the religious affiliations of country singers Waylon Jennings and Holly Dunn. Today, we'll stay within the music world but move to the genre of rock, investigating …

Welcome to a two-for-one special today, as we focus on a couple of country musicians with possible connections to Churches of Christ who have not yet appeared on this blog. (There are still a few out there!) As noted in a recent Christian Chronicle article, there are a large number of country musicians with ties …

Welcome back for the March 2021 entry here at "Church of Christ Celebrities"! After trips to the courtroom and the concert hall, we now move to the silver and small screens to spotlight the religious connections of noted actress Frances McDormand (1957-), who was suggested to me as a potential blog topic several months back …

Hello and welcome back to the "Church of Christ Celebrities" blog for our first post of the new year! Since the blog returned in September 2020, we've featured entries on Hugh Hefner, Lark Mason, Claude Jarman, and Bobby Riggs, spanning a rather wide array of professions and fields.

As always, hello and welcome back on this third Thursday of the month for our newest installment of the "Church of Christ Celebrities" blog! Since the blog's return back in September, we've gone to the worlds of, err, magazine publishing, antiques appraising, and child acting, and today's post takes into yet another field altogether.

Welcome back for the November 2020 installment at the Church of Christ Celebrities blog! This is our third entry since the blog returned in September; the first two posts brought us to the worlds of antique appraising and, err, magazine publishing.

Once again, welcome back for an entry with a nice round number--fifty!--here at the "Church of Christ Celebrities" blog.
