   MISSION STATEMENT
First Christian Church of Carbondale is part of a spiritual movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. Our mission is to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, demonstrating compassion, forgiveness, service to others, stewardship of the Earth and acceptance of all people. We are an Open and Affirming congregation.
 
WELCOME STATEMENT
First Christian Church welcomes you to be a part of our faith community. As an Open and Affirming congregation, we respect all people as beloved children of God. We celebrate what makes us different and unique, while standing united as God's people. We show compassion and respond to the feelings and needs of each person with kindness and empathy. As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord's table for communion. We center our lives in God's vision of community and invite you and your family to join us - to worship and learn, sing and pray, play, hike, eat and help neighbors near and far. We are a joyful community of friends and family, guided by the sacred purpose to be disciples of Christ.
