A Message From Our Pastor

YOU ARE INVITED!

III John: 5, John 12:46

"I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are living their lives in the Truth."

"I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes in me may not continue to live in darkness."

Our sincere hope is that your time with us will result in new friendships and an opportunity for you to worship and serve God in a meaningful way.

The members of First Christian Church are committed to our future together as an open and welcoming fellowship of believers in Christ Jesus. We see our faith as a shared journey of discovery and growth, always seeking God's loving will for our lives and trusting God's promise of living an abundant and joyful life Jesus.

You are invited to join us on this journey. Whether you have been a member elsewhere in the Christian Church, whether you come from another church, or whether you have never been part of any church, there is a place for you at First Christian Church. Christ Jesus invites you, and we wish to welcome you in His name.
