Welcome to
First Christian Church of Allen

As members of the Christian Church, we confess  that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and proclaim him  Lord and Savior of our world. In Christ's name and by his grace we  accept our mission of witness and service to all people. We rejoice in  God, maker of heaven and earth, and in the covenant of love which binds  us to God and one another.  Through baptism into Christ, we enter into  newness of life and are made one with the whole people of God. In the  communion of the Holy Spirit we are joined together in discipleship and  in obedience of Christ.  At the table of the Lord we celebrate with  thanksgiving the saving acts and presence of Christ. Within the  universal church, we receive the gift of ministry and the light of  scripture. In the bonds of Christian faith we yield ourselves to God  that we may serve the One whose kingdom has no end. Blessing, glory and  honor to God forever.  Amen.
