Who
We Are
We
are a Christian Community located in the heart of East
Texas.
We
believe that the Gospel impacts every area of a person's
life and culture. To this end, we hope to be a community of
believers who grow beyond the Sunday gathering, and begin to
live out the message of Christ in our everyday lives.
We
believe that God intends Christianity to be a way of life
which sends us into the world to serve God and our
neighbors, so that God's will may be done on earth as it is
in heaven. We want to be and to share the Good News of Jesus
Christ, witnessing, loving and serving from our doorsteps
"to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
We
are Christian by name and by belief. It is a way of life
that relates who and what we are to who and what God is, as
revealed in Jesus Christ and as experienced through the Holy
Spirit. We desire to be a faithful, growing church, that
demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and
a passion for justice. (Micah 6:8)
We
are seeking to be a transformative community that lives as a
blessing of God to the world. We are a community of faith
made up of people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives,
but we find unity and commonality in seeking the things of
God in this world, “as they are in heaven”.
A
First Christian Church, you will find opportunities to ask
honest questions, share opinions and discover ways to deal
with life’s difficult issues and to grow in faith.
The Chalice
The chalice is significant
because we celebrate the Lord’s Supper in worship every
Sunday. The chalice with the St. Andrew’s cross is the
symbol of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). First
Christian Church is part of this international body of
believers.
