The members of the First Christian Church interact with one another to support each other and worship our Lord and Savior. Our congregation maintains a Christian family atmosphere. Our parishioners accomplish this through Christian Education, church committees, circles, and youth groups. Our focus centers within the church and reaches out into our community.
Membership of our congregation, as part of the whole family of God on earth, consists of those who are now members of the congregation; those who unite with the church by confession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, giving expression to their faith through baptism and commitment to Him; and those who shall unite by transfer of membership, thereby making a reaffirmation of their faith and commitment to Christ.
The following provides information about the Church Board, Ministry Teams, Circle Groups, Youth Groups, Elders, and Deacons. |

Each year, the congregation elects a General Board which is responsible to the congregation. The Board has the authority to act on behalf of the congregation. The General Board receives reports from the minister, officers, and the various committees within the congregation. It is also responsible for conducting all legal business matters of the congregation and carries out such other responsibilities as may be defined in the bylaws. |
