Thank you for stopping in. For nearly two years my wife, Trish, and I have been in ministry here at First Christian Church. What a blessing it is to be a part of this congregation. I believe we are a unique congregation in that we are in a building that's 97 years old and we are a church with members that come from various parts of the US. We have a core of people that have grown up here in Irvine and many people have moved into the area from such places as Arizona, Montana, Tennessee and Georgia. One thing I noticed right away is that this church has a very sincere love about it. We are a group that really sincerely cares and wants to be a help to the community. 

While First Christian Church is an older church we are under construction making many improvements; replacing the heating and air system, remodeling, we’ve redone part of the front of the church and are updating our technology. Our desire is to be a church for all ages. We have a beautiful building and a beautiful history, but we also believe in the unchanging purpose of our Lord, to go and make disciples of all nations. Even though we have an older church building we are growing a vibrant church for all ages. Most people dress casually and we enjoy some of the newest Christian songs while adding a blend of some traditional.

I hope you will take the time to look at our beliefs. We are a Christ-centered, independent, Bible believing Church that is Elder led. We believe in speaking as the Bible speaks and allowing freedom in those areas the Bible does not address. If you come and visit, I’m confident that you'll be able to tell how special our church is. I hope that you will come and see what the Lord is doing here. Please feel free to leave me a message. I’d love to talk to you about all that God is doing at First Christian Church.
