Who we are
First Christian is an open-minded and loving community of faith with multiple generations and multiple faith paths. Ours is a thinking church without creeds or hoops. Our vision is straightforward and concise: “to be a growing, welcoming, diverse community of faith that worships, shares, and expresses through our service…the love of God.” Our mission is equally uncomplicated: “To know, grow, and show the love of God.”
At First Christian,
We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We love all people as God loves all people and expects us to do the same. We study the Bible, pray, and listen for God’s direction. We live out our faith in actions, attitudes, and words for all to see and hear. We celebrate God’s love and worship God joyfully. We welcome and respect diversity (ethnic, economic, and other).
Our practices define our faith,
We proclaim the gospel of Jesus of Nazareth and worship is grounded in his “Good News”. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper at every worship service. We teach and practice baptism by immersion, while accepting other forms. We help others in need through mission work locally, nationally, and internationally. We are locally governed, but work with other Christians globally. We train, empower, and believe in strong lay leadership.
We are a local chapter of a much larger fellowship called The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) that includes a million believers in the United States and Canada. As the first denomination formed in this country, ours holds the values of frontier America…individualism, self-reliance, justice, and freedom.

First Christian Church History
Help my unbelief
Dear God, help my unbelief. When I'm in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence - let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief.
