First Christian is a progressive, open-minded, open-hearted Christian faith community in the heart of historic downtown St. Joseph, Missouri. Our church is located at 927 Faraon and is open and affirming. This means that we welcome all people, in all their diversity, with open arms.

We welcome Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Buddhists, Immigrants, Youth, Seniors, Seekers, Skeptics, and people of all ethnicities. We welcome all of our LGBTQIA+ neighbors fully and completely as children of God. We are an anti-racist, pro-environmental and justice-focused community.
