Congregational Meeting Results

Twenty-two (22) servant leaders, including two (2) Elders and twenty (20) Deacons, were on the ballot on Sunday, December 6th for congregational approval. We praise God for the unity expressed as we have elected all those on the ballot to serve. We are thankful for those who accepted the call to serve and those who voted. Please keep them in your prayers as they continue on their mission to minister and serve here at First Christian.
A New Chapter

We celebrate Joe Mueller as he and his family are beginning a new chapter in their lives. Joe will be leaving First Christian at the end of the year, so that he can begin a doctoral program in the fall of 2015, the next step in his dream to become an Old Testament professor. In the spring, Joe will be teaching classes at Saint Louis Christian College, watching Liam, and brushing up on his Hebrew and Greek. Be sure to wish the Mueller's a fond farewell!
