Church Mission Statement 

Our mission is to be a servant church, 
     presenting the Good News of Christ to all 
     through our thoughts, words and deeds.

We fulfill our mission by: 

• being unified in Christ,
• pursuing deep spirituality, 
• fostering true community, 
• cherishing unity in diversity, 
• and working for justice.

 Our Larger Church

First Christian Church is an ecumenical congregation that believes the kingdom of God exists wherever Christ is accepted.  We are affiliated with The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  We are also a Partnership Church, representing the United Church of Christ in our community. The Disciples and the UCC have a growing relationship as they seek ways to give witness to the special unity they share in Christ.

"The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a community of believers who, through baptism into Jesus Christ are bound by covenant to God and to one another. Disciples draw their inspiration from Scripture and the Holy Spirit, celebrating around the Lord's Table the life, death and resurrection, and  continuing presence of Christ. We proclaim the good news of our salvation. We claim as our particular witness the quest for Christian unity as a sign of God's intention for the unity of the whole community.

"While stressing freedom and diversity under God, we believe unity and mission are inseparable; we witness and serve among the whole human family in the interest of peace, justice, mercy and kindness."  (A Disciples identity statement by Rev Kenneth Teagarden)

An Open and Affirming Congregation - ONA

We are an "Open and Affirming" congregation, meaning we extend a welcome to all persons, regardless of ethic or racial heritage, gender, sexual orientation, and economic or political status.  Membership is based solely on one's confession of faith in Jesus Christ. We are a church of all peoples for all people.

Open and Affirming is a national movement among Disciples, the UCC and other Christians.  It is a movement that seeks to extend the love of God as widely as possible.  It resists the stereotypes and discriminatory practices and attitudes of many in our society, including many in the Christian community.  For more information, click on the symbol at the right to visit the G.L.A.D.
