This congregation is a church of sinners "saved by grace." We are a fellowship of the imperfect growing from one level of maturity to the next in our faith, spirituality, Bible understanding, personal soul winning, and stewardship of life in Christ. We are historically committed to the principles of the historic Restoration Movement. The plea of the movement remains our plea: "Unity of all believers in Christ on the basis of God's Word alone!" We lay no claim to being the only Christians. It is simply our desire to be Christians only! We seek to remind each other of the evils of this world that God's Word teaches to us.
This is Christ's Church. We rejoice in our relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. As a result, we are free to love the sinner and hate the sin. We are dismayed by the divisions which keep brothers and sisters in Christ split and the world lost. We repent for our part in adding to in any way to the divisive confusion in world religion today. We simply seek to restore New Testament Christianity as revealed through God's Word!
We turn away no seekers after God. We are not at war with any other church or movement. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."(Eph. 6:12).
All who accept the grace of God on His terms will find here an open heart, an open Bible, and an open fellowship for worship and service.
By God's grace, First Church of Christ is simply His Church seeking to accomplish His purpose - winning the lost and building the won! Here at FCC we are: "Won 2 Win and Saved 2 Serve (W2W S2S)!"
