The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) was founded in the early 1800s in the United States. Seeking to move beyond denominational disagreements, the founders envisioned a united church of Jesus Christ modeled on the New Testament.
Worshiping at First Christian Church
Sharing in the Lord's Supper is at the heart of what members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) do when we gather for worship. Each week there is singing of hymns, prayers, reading of scripture and a sermon.
Gathering music – Organ music helps us quiet ourselves to begin our worship together.
Hymn – As with all of the music during worship, the hymns are chosen to relate to the scriptures and sermon of the day. Our hymnal (Chalice Hymnal) provides a rich source of hymns and worship material.
Anthem – Sung by the choir, the anthem also is related to the scripture readings. Often instruments are used to enhance the music experience. At times, our bell ensemble also provides music at this time.
Closing Music – We leave the sanctuary to serve God in the world.
