A Family of Faith

More Than One Hundred Years of Service

Athens First Christian Church is a warm fellowship which extends friendship to all who enter. Our members are committed to Christian growth and service to one another, this community, and beyond.   Our congregation was founded in 1876, serving this community first from a frame structure and then from the present building dedicated in 1915. Visitors and newcomers always receive a warm and friendly welcome.

    A Place for You!

Opportunities for Christian growth and learning, for service, and for leadership are many.  You may choose from a variety of fellowship and study groups for all ages, including Sunday School, service projects, Youth Groups, softball, choir, and worship. Activities are designed to provide a positive and rewarding experience for all participants.

    An Open Door to All

First Christian Church, Athens, is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  We are a congregationally governed body in which program, budget, selection of minister and staff are determined locally. We have two ordinances: believers baptism by immersion and the weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper.
