FCC Decatur is home. From the first moment I walked into that sanctuary I knew I had found my house of worship. People are all so kind. You can come in jeans, or dress up.
About First Christian Church
First Christian Church is a contemporary, multi-generational community of individuals who love God and love people. It is our mission to develop devoted followers of Jesus Christ by growing and serving together. Join us as we change our community and world in the name of Jesus Christ! We have four identical worship services each weekend. (Visit our website at www.firstdecatur.org for up-to-date service times). Typically, our worship services last a little over an hour. You’ll find we have vibrant worship, meaningful sermons, and we care about our community and world. The sermons are Bible-centered and can easily be applied to your life. Also, we offer communion and prayer with the pastors and elders every week. For more information, visit www.firstdecatur.org or call 217.875.3350. We are more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

BELIEFS
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We believe in one God existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in God the Father, an infinite personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, justice, power and love. We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s eternal Son. He is true God and true human, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We believe that Jesus lived a sinless life on earth and died a substitutionary death on the cross, that His sacrifice for the sins of all people satisfied God’s justice, and that all who believe in Him are freed from the penalty of sin and made acceptable before God on the grounds of His sin-payment. We believe in His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, His current ministry of prayer on behalf of His people, and His visible return from heaven. We believe in the Holy Spirit. He is fully God, sent into the world by the Father and the Son to apply the saving work of Christ to humanity. He enlightens the minds of sinners, awakens in them recognition of their need of a Savior, and brings rebirth and renewal to them. At the point of salvation He permanently indwells every believer, and subsequently uniquely endows each believer with gifts for building the church.
