Foothills Christian Church

About this church

Foothills Christian Church is an open and affirming Disciples of Christ congregation in the North Phoenix Valley, offering Sunday worship at 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. with fellowship at 10:00. The second service streams live on Facebook. Its welcome is unusually explicit: people are invited into community and ministry regardless of age, race, gender, sexual identity, economic status, faith heritage, or ability. The congregation describes itself as progressive and committed to meaningful human connection, with a simple aim of following Jesus by loving God, serving others, and welcoming everybody.

Communion is served every Sunday at an open table, reflecting the Disciples conviction that Christ welcomes all. Foothills also emphasizes Scripture while allowing each person both freedom and responsibility to study it within the church community; it practices believer’s baptism and recognizes baptisms from other traditions. Nursery-through-elementary children’s ministry is available during worship. Adults can join a virtual Scripture study Thursdays at 9:30 a.m., focused on the passage for the coming Sunday, or connect through prayer, service, mission partnerships, young-adult ministry, and a private care group. Visitors can expect a clearly stated inclusive identity, weekly Communion, contemporary community life, and both in-person and online access.
