Discover in our Congregation-
Opportunities to Serve:
We believe that, as Christians, we are called to serve as Jesus served. “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” (1Corinthians 12:4-7, NRSV) At First Christian (Disciples of Christ) in Burnet, there are many opportunities to serve God by serving others through the ministries of Christ’s church. We invite everyone to discover their spiritual gifts and to explore ways of serving with them.
Outreach is an important part of our congregational life. Our congregation lives its Christian beliefs in the local community and beyond. Service activities involve the Youth, the Disciples Women’s Ministry, the Disciples Men’s Ministry, the church as a whole, and the activities of individual members.
