First Christian Church

About this church

First Christian Church in Paulding is a Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) congregation with Sunday worship at 10:00 a.m. Its weekly service centers on Scripture and an open celebration of the Lord’s Supper: everyone who professes Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is invited to the table. The church practices baptism by immersion while honoring other baptism traditions, encourages thoughtful discussion where members differ on particular doctrines, and describes both ministers and laypeople as participants in worship, service, and spiritual growth. That combination gives newcomers a clear picture of a Christ-centered congregation with room for sincere questions.

Coffee and conversation begins Sundays at 9:00 a.m., and children from age three through eighth grade have Sunday School during the 10:00 service; a nursery space lets parents hear the sermon while staying with younger children. Beyond Sunday, the calendar includes twice-monthly Bible study, a monthly book group, bell choir, women’s and men’s gatherings, and practical outreach. The congregation supports Paulding-area food, school-supply, Christmas-family, cancer-support, and other assistance programs. Chartered in 1887, it moved into its accessible Emerald Road home in 2000, linking a long local history with a facility designed for ongoing ministry.
