First Church of Christ

About this church

First Church of Christ in Painesville, Ohio, meets at 422 Mentor Avenue each Sunday. Adult and children's Bible fellowship begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by the worship service at 10:45 a.m., which is also broadcast online live every week. The congregation traces its beginning to 1843 and describes itself as part of the Restoration Movement, a fellowship of independent churches that follows the practices of the New Testament church. Its statement of beliefs affirms one God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the inspiration of the Bible, and water baptism as a response to faith in Christ.

The church describes itself as multigenerational, with members who have attended for decades alongside newcomers from many backgrounds. Beyond Sunday morning, the website lists a Theology Thursdays offering, a weekly bulletin that can be downloaded, an online prayer request form, and an online connect card for visitors who want to be contacted. Outreach centers on mission partners in Ohio and around the world, including support for a children's home in Ohio and ministries in Liberia, India, and the Arab world. Online giving is available. Phone the church office at 440-357-7422 for questions, and confirm times on the website before visiting.
