Welcome to
First Christian Church
We cordially invite
you to join us for worship. We continue to offer Christian education
and ministry services. We are part of a non-denominational
fellowship of churches which seek to worship according to the
teachings of Christ and his apostles as they established the church.
We seek to be "Christians only." We recognize the authority of Jesus
(Matthew 28:18) and therefore, do not recognize man-made creeds,
traditions or power structures.

Spiritual
Themes from 'The Shack'
“The Shack”
is a bestselling fiction novel that has caused a great sensation - and
a lot of controversy - in the Christian world. Some pastors are
recommending it - others are banning it. July 12 - August 30th
we will discuss some of the many reasons why many love it and others
hate it. We will also discuss the many theological issues that the
book touches upon. Although one does not have to read “The Shack” to
attend or participate in the discussions, it will be beneficial to
acquaint yourself with it.
We will not
be studying “The Shack”. Rather, we will look at the issues and
questions that it raises, and then examine the Bible for our answers.
The class will be lively, and will deal with the controversial issues
of the book. Be prepared to be engaged! This class will include
“spoilers”. Join the ‘99 and Under’ class each week at 9:40 in their
classroom upstairs. |
Our Mission
Our mission remains winning the lost and leading Christians to serve
their Lord in accordance with the teachings of the New Testament. We
find it both humorous and tragic that when identifying ourselves as
Christians, someone invariably asks, "What kind?" Can you imagine the
apostles being asked that question? We seek to be Christians in the
same way the first disciples were, without man-made teachings,
traditions, names, denominational structures and so on. Over the
years, a number of historic slogans have helped to express who we are
and what we seek to accomplish: We are not the only Christians, but we
are "Christians only." No creed but Christ, no book but the Bible. In
essentials, unity. In opinions, liberty. In all things, love.
Essentials are those commands, ordinances etc. specifically commanded
by the Lord or His apostles. Beyond this, we recognize a variety of
subjects on which there is no direct command of the Lord, hence, the
right to freely hold one's own opinion (in opinions, liberty).
Finally, we recognize that we must always relate to one another in
love (remember the second greatest commandment?).
Clinical Counseling Center
The church offers an
adjunct to ministerial counseling through our new Clinical
Counseling Center.
Dr. Jo Christner will be providing
confidential individual, couples and group therapy services.
