First Christian Church - Mishawaka, Indiana

Where the Positive Power of Christ
Changes Lives!

---

First Christian Church of Mishawaka strives to fulfill a simple goal:
              We want to be the place where ‘The Positive Power of Jesus Christ can change people’s lives.'
We encourage those whose lives have been changed to go into our surrounding communities and have a positive effect on people who need the human touch of Jesus Christ today. The life of Jesus Christ has done more to promote positive change for our world for the better than any other person who has ever lived.

As members of the Christian Church we are called ‘Disciples of Christ’ – followers of this historical figure, the Son of the Living God and tasked to carry on His mission: Love God, and love your neighbor as yourself.
                                                       Worship with us each Sunday at 11:00 a.m.
First Christian is definitely not the biggest church in the Michiana community. We may not have every ‘bell and whistle’ known to man, but at First Christian Church lives are changed by Jesus Christ and hope is available to people living in a world where sometimes there is no hope.

​Programs for youth are the focal point of our church, and yet we strive to never forget the needs of seniors.

If you are looking for a place to find: faith, hope and love while striving to live a better life – come home, to First Christian Church in Mishawaka.

This Sunday:
September 19
“If You’re Happy and You Know It”
Psalm 1 
While seeking our own happiness, why do we sometimes portray others as sinful to make ourselves feel better?

Upcoming Sunday Worship Services:
September 26
“If She Can Do It, So Can You!”
Esther 7:1-6  
When Esther faced a life and death scenario, she found a creative solution. As a biblical superhero, she offers women—and men—hope for today.

October 3
“Join the Band”
Genesis 2:18-24
God created us to be with one another in community. Even though joining a group has become less popular and we find ourselves disconnected, join a band—or any other group—to become reconnected.
​
October 10
“Left All Alone?”
Psalm 22:1-7 
Anxious? Lonely? We aren’t the first ones to experience separation anxiety, for even those who trusted God thousands of years ago experienced similar feelings.

October 17
“Getting an E-ZPass”
Mark 10:35-45
Getting around traffic on the toll road may become easier with a pass, but when the disciples asked for such a pass for special privileges, Jesus suggested that being first is not the best plan.  

October 24
“Let Me See Again”
Mark 10:46-52  
When a man who could not see asked Jesus for help, he gained more than sight. How might you see more clearly?

“Saintly Security”
Ruth 1:1-9
As we gather on All Saints’ Day, we celebrate the past while discerning our future security.
