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. |
