   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.

- Congregational Meeting
Thanks for giving your attention to the proposal for a trial period of a different board and ministry structure.  The vote was overwhelmingly for the proposal.  The Reno team and board will begin putting the proposal into place. We’ll see how it works for the next year, and then vote whether or not to make it permanent.  

- Simple after worship Coffee Hour for July
July is a favorite time for vacation travel, so we decided to give the Coffee Hosts a break. We will still gather in the Fellowship Hall for Coffee and Lemonade, and cookies.  but there will be not customary treats offered. We will resume our usual Coffee Hour in August. Thank to all who served as Coffee Hosts so far this year. If you would like to serve as a Coffee Host when we resume, please text Cathy Schlosser at 618-534-2160.
