About Our Community

First Christian Church of Joplin made some big strides this past


It is our prayer to see the residents of this neighborhood worshipping Jesus Christ through the biblical, Christ-centered messages preached, the songs we sing that glorify Christ and in our fellowship with others. Our mission is rooted in the Gospel power to transform lives by restoring the relationship of men and women with their Creator, and as a result of that, with one another.

We are a simple church that neither adds to nor subtracts from the gospel, for it is the gospel itself which is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. Our prayer is to build a community of believers that serves Christ and others using the gifts and talents God has given us.

On our website, you will find audio from our Sunday sermons, a calendar of events, in addition to bios of our leadership team, and our statement of faith. We invite you to join us on Sundays for our weekly worship service.

We hope to see you soon!

Mission Statement

First Christian Church exists for the glory of God, that, through the preaching of the Gospel, men and women will experience the saving and transforming power of Jesus Christ.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to see Jesus Christ build His church, a living and thriving fellowship of believers using all their gifts and talents to impact our community.

Values Statement

We will work hard to meet not only the spiritual needs of those to whom we minister to, but also their physical, mental, and emotional needs. We recognize that our calling to discipleship and the strength that we need to be successful in this endeavor come completely from God. Therefore, our discipleship effort will be driven by a total reliance on the Lord through consistent prayer.
