First CHristian Church (Diciples of Christ) - Richmond
We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. This congregation began in Richmond in 1859, and we are just one of more than 3,000 Disciples' congregations in the United States. Disciples have no set system of beliefs, other than our unifying belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and we each accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
We are then free to come to our own conclusions as to other religious or theological issues. We do this with integrity through Bible Study and prayer. We need not agree on anything beyond Jesus in order to live out His commandment to Love others as He loved...and still loves...us.

The Disciples logo is the red Chalice with the Cross of St. Andrew in it. The Chalice reminds us of the central role of Communion in our worship and is red to honor Christ's sacrifice. The Cross of St. Andrew reflects the Scottish roots of our movement.
