First Christian Church - Deland Disciples of Christ

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in DeLand, Florida centers its worship around the Lord's Supper seeking to revitalize and energize those who would seek to know Jesus and to do His work in our community and around the world. The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) was born on the American frontier in the early 1800's by Thomas and Alexander Campbell along with Barton Stone with the purpose of bringing Christians together on the basis of the New Testament and not denominational doctrines. Thus, we do not have an official doctrine or creed as a requirement for church membership. Following the tradition of the New Testament Church, only a simple confession of faith is required to become a member. We welcome those coming from other denominations by transfer of membership and accept associate memberships with other churches for those who are seasonal residents. We emphasize the ministry of the Laity who serve in worship at the Lord's Table every Sunday to all committed believers in Christ and baptism by immersion for those who have not been previously baptized.
