Christian Church

(Disciples of Christ)

First Christian Church is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a denomination of almost one million members, who profess faith in Jesus Christ and seek, in every aspect of life together, to follow Him in paths of love, justice, and service.

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) traces its roots to the American frontier in the early 1800's. Our founders - Thomas Campbell and his son Alexander Campbell, Barton Stone, and Walter Scott - were troubled by the divided state of Christendom, and sought a restoration of the New Testament church. The founding principles of the movement were freedom of interpretation with regard to scripture, and a focus on the unity of Christ's church.

Our Vision

is to be a faithful, growing church that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice (Micah 6:8).

Our Mission

is to be and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, witnessing, loving, and serving from our doorsteps "to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8).

Coming Events:
