Everything You Need To Know This Week

April 26th, 2024

Cottage Prayer Fellowship April 28th - May 2nd

The time has come and “CPF” groups are meeting starting Sunday April 28 th through Thursday May 2 nd . Almost 50 people have signed up to join together for a time of meeting new people, fellowship, sharing and praying together. Specifically, we will be praying for God’s continued leading as we pursue the recommendations submitted by the Church Health Team and endorsed by the elders. We believe God has led us thus far and we want to continue to seek His direction as we move forward.

If you are unable to attend, please be in prayer as we move forward together. If you would like to attend a group but have not signed up yet, call the church office and let us know so we can get you plugged in.

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is

God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

WHAT WE BELIEVE...First Christian Church The Dalles is not affiliated with a denomination, instead choosing to be overseen by a team of elders. We consider the Bible to be the words of God, thus being incapable of error. As we seek a unified practice of our faith, we follow the teachings of the New Testament. We share communion each Sunday and follow the Biblical pattern for conversion. We support any who have accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord through belief, public confession of faith, baptism by immersion and continual obedience to Biblical standards of living. We hold firmly to essential doctrines but celebrate freedom in non-essentials as we seek to love God, love people, and make disciples who follow Jesus.
