The Full Story:
The First Church of God on Rider Street has been a cornerstone of the Flora community for decades. We are a congregation built on the foundations of grace, truth, and compassion. Above all else, we identify as the First Church of Mercy. We believe that because we have received God’s ultimate mercy, it is our calling to extend that same mercy to everyone who walks through our doors, regardless of their past or their struggles.

Our Mission:
To lead people into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ and to foster a community where the love of God is visible. As the First Church of Mercy, we strive to be a sanctuary for the broken and a home for those seeking peace.

What We Believe:

Mercy First: We lead with compassion, following the example of Jesus.

Holiness: We seek to live lives that reflect God’s character in our daily conduct.

Unity: we focus on the biblical truth that all who follow Christ are part of one family.
