"The mission of this Congregation shall be as directed in the New Testament: to bring glory to God, to praise and worship God, to win people to faith in Jesus Christ, to draw people into active participation in the Church Body, to help them grow in grace and knowledge of Christ, to work for the unity of all Christians, and to minister to the needs of His people."

First Christian Church has been in Grants Pass since 1885!
We are a conservative church who loves the Word of God and seek to obey it in all we do. We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.
We value the name 'Christian' because it points folks to the One we follow: Jesus Christ. We are part of His story...the one He's been telling through the church through the millennia.
To be clear: we are not the "First" Christians. We are not the "only" Christians. We value our brothers and sisters who follow Christ in other Christian traditions. We count ourselves as being in mission alongside them; especially here in Grants Pass.
We are part of the restoration movement and are affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination, which was founded on the truth of God's Word (The Bible) as our focus and priority in all things we do. The Christian Church has a rich history and we want to be part of bringing the historical truth of Scripture first back to the Disciples of Christ denomination.
We aim to be a place where everyone is welcome to come and hear the Word of God taught truthfully and with honest God fearing love. We fervently believe that placing your trust in Christ is the only way to salvation. Saving you from hell and death.
We aim to be a light of truth and love in this world for Jesus.
