About Us – First Christian Church Monmouth

Staff

Jordan Schultz

My family and I moved to Monmouth only a short few years ago, but are happy to call it home. We love this church and truly enjoy investing in the community around us. People sometimes ask why we moved to such a small town. They don’t realize that our previous community was too small to support a local gas station, so we count ourselves blessed to live in Monmouth!

I was born in Monmouth and returned back to this great town in September of 2019. There is nothing I love more than getting to worship together on Sundays! When I am not practicing guitar or hanging out with the Youth Group, you can probably find me on the golf course… I have a MILD addiction to the sport. I thank GOD for bringing me back to Monmouth to be a part of this amazing church family!

I have lived in Monmouth for almost 50 years and have a heart for Jesus and this community. I love being part of a small town where everybody knows your name. For over 10 years FCC has become my home, my family, my community. I am grateful to be able to serve at FCC through the years and embrace my current role as the Children’s Director since 2019. It is a privilege to guide the next generation, and their families, in their next steps.

My family and I have called First Christian Church home for almost sixteen years now. I love this church so much that I’ve also been a staff member for ten years and counting! Serving as a church member and as a staff member allows me to experience God’s presence in many ways. My family and I are blessed by this church family and community!

Dylan Robertson

Facilities Manager

I was born and raised in Monmouth and have called First Christian Church my home for 10 years. I joined the staff in March of 2020 at the beginning of the Covid shutdown. You never know where to find me at church because if I’m not volunteering in the sound booth, then I’m mowing, shoveling, and cleaning away.

Core Values

Biblical Truth
We will not stand on anything less than the life-giving, liberating truth of God.

Community Presence
We are a lighthouse placed in a broader community, guiding those around us with his love, hope, and healing.

Connection
We will choose meaningful relationships over isolation, because life and faith are richest when we are together.

Evangelism
We strive to share the overwhelming love of God in Christ by speaking with embarrassing boldness and acting in outrageous love.

Shaping Tomorrow
We embrace the future, bravely letting go of the things we love in order to reach the people and serve the God we love even more.

Family Faith
We believe in partnering with parents to equip the next generation with faith that lasts.

Spiritual Growth
Our faith is a journey, not a destination. There is always a “next-step” to lead us onto greater and deeper adventure.

Beliefs

God
We believe God is the creator of mankind and all things seen and unseen. He has chosen to reveal himself in a triune manner—God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. There is no other God but him.

Mankind
We believe mankind was created by God in His own image, willingly sinned against God, and is separated from God without hope except through Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ to be God’s eternal and only begotten Son, who was born of a virgin, died on a cross for the forgiveness of sins, and was raised back to life on the third day. He has ascended to heaven and someday will return.

Salvation
Be believe salvation comes by God’s grace through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. It is a free gift that cannot be earned or deserved. We believe the Bible to teaches that to receive Jesus as Savior one must believe, repent of sin, and be baptized, the practice of which we hold to be believer’s baptism by immersion.

The Church
We believe the Church to be the body of Christ, who is the head, founded on the day of Pentecost and consisting of all Christians everywhere. We believe the local church to be an autonomous body, which cooperates with many Christian agencies, but is regulated or dominated by none.

The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit dwells in every Christian and encourages, guides, comforts, and transforms us to be like Jesus. The gift of the Holy Spirit is received at baptism and empowers individual believers with gifts meant to further the mission of the Church.

The Bible
We believe the Bible is the absolute truth and inspired word of God. It is the final authority on matters of faith and belief.

Communion
We believe that Christians should experience the real presence of Christ, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as they recall those events related to Jesus sacrificial death on the cross and show proper respect and appreciation for His ultimate sacrifice through which we have forgiveness of sin.

Church Leadership
We believe it is God’s plan for the Elders to lead (shepherd and lovingly guide) the local church by example and their leadership is accountable to God. The Elders are the final authority in the interpretation of scripture.
