First Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ)
Hartselle, Alabama
We rejoice in the knowledge that God has crossed our paths today! We pray that He opens our eyes to how we can encourage you and experience the blessings of your presence with us. We do not believe your visit to our Church Home Page was by chance, so we invite you to visit with our church family as we worship, learn, grow and encourage one another.
Jesus established the church to be a community of believers, a family, to encourage each other in unity and to project His love to the world. As a family, our goal is to love each other without conditions or expectations. We confess that we are unable, on our own, to practice the unconditional love demonstrated by our Father, but we pray and desire that He empowers us to demonstrate His love to you and those around us.
If you are searching for a group of people to accept you as you are, and challenge you to grow in your reflection of God's love, "Welcome" for that is our goal. For us who call First Christian Church, Hartselle, our home, we commit to pray, to listen with compassion, to forgive and to nurture. We invite you to explore our Father with us in worship, fellowship and growth. Please feel welcome to visit our church home.
First Christian Church Is Glad You're Here !
A Place for Worship The primary reason we meet together is to focus our attention on God, giving Him our worship and receiving His blessing and inspiration. Each of these occasions is a special time of spiritual refreshment. We hope this is what you experience today.
A Place for Learning To us, studying the Bible is vital because it not only instructs us intellectually, but also guides us spiritually. We believe it and accept it as God's Word to us, a Book that is alive and relevant to life today. Learning its truths is a thrilling adventure.
A Place for Enrichment For every person at every age level we offer a wealth of opportunities - special programs and ministries for children, youth and adults which fill the church calendar. You can be sure that in this kaleidoscope of activities there's more than one place where you can be personally enriched.
A Place for Friendship Nothing quite compares to the joy of Christian friendship. That's why we make it a priority to build lasting bonds between the members of our church family - bonds of concern and genuine commitment to one another. Best of all, this circle of care is ever widening. We'd love for it to include you, too.
A Place for Service Just as Jesus Christ came "not to be ministered unto, but to minister..." we accept our responsibility to reach out in service to others. This applies both within the church family and outside our fellowship. We look forward to serving you.
The mission of our church is to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and call people to a committed daily walk with him. We believe we are to help all who know Him to discover His grace and to develop Christ-likeness through worship, prayer and Bible study. We also believe we are to equip the family of God for ministry in the church and for life's mission in the world so we can bring honor and glory to His name.
And they were continually devoting themselves to the Apostle' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer..(Acts 2:42)
