First Christian Church
Who We Are:
First Christian Church of Hoopeston, Illinois was begun June 18, 1873 and was originally known as the Church of Christ of Hoopeston. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and several communities, drawn together by our common approach to the Christian faith.
About Us:
This congregation is apart of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Our church had its origins on the American frontier in the early 19th century. Since its beginning, the Disciples of Christ have endeavored to increase respect, understanding and unity among believers of Christ.
As Disciples we strive to remain obedient to the teachings of Jesus and the New Testament by practicing a faith which is socially relevant and intellectually sound. Members are bound together in fellowship and service by belief in the central confession of the New Testament "that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God".
On other matters, the church recognizes the right to exercise freedom of opinion. This principle is the sustaining force in the life of the church. We hold that there should be "in essentials, unity; in opinion, liberty; in all things, LOVE."
There are more than 1,000,000 members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. In Illinois, there are over 60,000 members in 200 congregations.
