Welcome to First Christian Church of Colorado Springs
We have a strong commitment to children and youth, we seek to practice “radical hospitality” and to accept folks wherever they are on life’s journey. You’ll never be told what you "have to" believe, and, perhaps most important, everyone is treated with respect and dignity; no one is second-class and all are truly welcome!
We are part of a whole movement of Christians – the Disciples of Christ – who seek to embody true community, deep spirituality, and a passion for justice. Learn more about our movement nationally and internationally at www.disciples.organd more about our "wider church family" in the tri-state Central Rocky Mountain region.
EXCITING NEWS! FCC has begun the conclusion of the renovation/re-tiling project at our north entrance and welcome center! During some of this work you will not be able to use the north entrance. The north entrance WILL be CLOSED Monday, March 10 through Saturday, March 17! The primary alternate entrance will be the east alley door, next to the staff parking lot on the southeast side of the building. Look for signs on the outside of the building in the north parking lot that will guide you to this door. You may either use the call button at the north door to alert church staff that you’re headed for the alley door, or just call the office, 719-633-8888, when you get to the door. If you have difficulty walking, you may park in the "staff lot." Your group leader will have information on entrances for specific activities.For more detailed information, check with your group's/activity's leader or call the church office. Please bear with us while we’re under construction - - and anticipate how beautiful the end result will be!
We're easy to find (Google map) and it's easy to park (map) and you can find us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter too.
Spend some quiet time meditating on our beautiful outdoor labyrinth
On Sundays, enter through ANY door; on weekdays, use the north parking lot door.

"We seek to be a congregation where spiritual growth is the norm,
where growing in faith is expected, and that expects and
respects a diversity of opinion.
We will be a community of faith, radical in hospitality, outrageous in generosity
and joyful in service to God and neighbor."

A Message From our Senior Pastor
17th century French mathematician Blaise Pascal said that every human being has a "God-shaped hole" in the heart that is seeking to be filled. Here at First Christian Church we want to joyfully help you find how God is offering you purpose, meaning, and a connection with something larger than your own life. Check us out!
