Denomination: Church of Christ
WHY we exist
We exist to lead people to Know, Worship & Serve Jesus Christ.
Our Vision is to become a Disciple-Making church through Relational Engagement (small groups) and Leadership Development (discipling/mentoring relationships).
Core beliefs:
(This is not an exhaustive list, but it is a great place to start a conversation)
God
We believe in one God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the creator and sustainer of all things.
Jesus
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior and Lord of all people. His death on the cross makes it possible for us to get things right with God. Salvation is found only in Him (John 14:6). We also believe that He rose from the dead and will return one day to complete his plan for humankind.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit lives in Christians and empowers them for ministry. The Spirit is our source of assurance, strength, wisdom, and gifting for building up the church.
The Bible
The Bible is the very words of God, so it is the foundation of our faith and how we live our lives.
The Church
The church is made up of all the Christians in the world. First Church is the local representation of those believers. We are not part of a denomination but are led by elders who have been recognized by our church as qualified to lead us spiritually.
