Dallas First Christian Church
Description
About us: Our humble Church was founded in the year 1850. We have been going strong, and growing ever since. The purpose of this congregation is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ in faithful response to God’s will and purposes as revealed through Jesus Christ in the world; to win people to faith in Jesus Christ and commit them actively to the Church; to help them grow spiritually so that they may increasingly know and do Christ’s will; to serve the community of which it is a part; to bring the gospel message to bear upon society; to sustain and be sustained by the General and Regional manifestations of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and committed to its historic principles; to work for the unity of all Christians; to seek the oneness of the Body of Christ; and in all ways to seek to make known the love of God. We have no creed by Christ, no book but the Bible.

The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom. - Lady Bird Johnson When the rights of any group, no matter how small, no matter how marginal, are violated, your liberty, your freedom is put at risk. Let there never be a day when we cast about in horror and have to ask the question, "How did it ever come to this?" - Thomas Childers To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. - Nelson Mandela Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being. - Khalil Gibran Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. - Abraham Lincoln Freedom Demands Freedom for All - Jonathan Lockwood Huie The end does NOT justify the means.

Neither individual nor nation can long survive by meeting hatred with hatred, injustice with injustice, prejudice with prejudice.
