God’s Plan for First Christian 

Vision and Mission Statement 

 

 

 We Are: 

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a community of believers with no Creed but Christ. We welcome all people and embrace the diversity that exists in the people of God.

 Our Vision: 

Through positive worship and fellowship experiences we celebrate our beliefs by encouraging all to cherish God’s love with both mind and heart. 

 

We seek those on a spiritual journey to develop a personal relationship with God. [Deuteronomy 6:5]

We support those who believe in living the essential Christian principles of love, charity, compassion, justice, and humility.   [Zechariah 7:8-10, Micah 6:8] 

We teach that worship is a lifestyle to be lived daily through study, prayer and action. [Acts 2:42] 

We believe that each Christian has the responsibility to serve our Creator by ministering to our local and             global communities. [Matthew 25:34-40] 

We offer communion at the Lord’s Table as a central part of our worship each week, with all who seek God.  [Mark 14:22-24] or [1 Corinthians 10:17]
