What to Expect

What are services like?
Sunday's 9:00 am worship service averages around 105 people and meets in the beauty of a traditional sanctuary with padded pews, pipe organ, piano and the great hymns of faith as well as contemporary praise music, video monitors and a good sound system including hearing assistance devices. As well as music, worship includes prayer, preaching and sharing in the Lord's Supper (communion).

What is the community like?
The church community is a diverse group of believers with differing social, political, and economic backgrounds who are brought together in the power of Jesus Christ.

What if I'm not a Christian?
First Christian Church accepts all people as they are and hopes that through the worship, preaching, and relationships found here, each person would grow in their faith and relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
