At FCC we understand that we are a people called together to glorify God, encourage one another, serve our community, and reach the lost.

First Christian Church began in 1914 during a revival meeting. Over the past 100+ years FCC has sought to simply be Christians. We have people from many different backgrounds and traditions. We are united in that Jesus is the Christ and the Bible is our sole standard for doctrine. We seek to have unity in these essentials, and liberty in non-essentials. We understand that we are saved by the grace of Christ and seek to be conformed into the image of Christ. We are an imperfect people that serves a perfect God.

Serving since 1914
