Connecting People to Jesus, to each other, and to their purpose.

WHAT WE BELIEVE...The Dalles First Christian Church is an independent
governed congregation with elder oversight. We have strong ties to the heritage of the Restoration Movement. We follow the Lord’s plea for unity. We support all believers who accept Jesus as Lord of their lives. We don’t consider ourselves the only Christians, but “Christians only”. We look to the Bible as the inerrant Word of

God. We follow the New Testament in matters of faith and practice. We observe communion on a weekly basis and follow the Biblical pattern of conversion. Church members have exhibited their faith in Christ by belief, repentance, public confession of faith, baptism (immersion), and a continual faithful obedience to Biblical standards of living. We stand firm on the essential doctrines of the faith, but observe freedom in the non-essential areas of Christian life and belief.

The core of the nonviolent movement is justice and reconciliation, not victory. True victory is achieved when both justice and reconciliation are present, ensuring the victim of today doesn't become tomorrow's oppressor. This is the path forward.

06/04/2026

Jesus' life and ministry weren't just about teaching a philosophy; they embodied it. This 'third way' is the shape of his own life and death. As Peter wrote, Jesus entrusted himself to the one who judges justly, absorbing insults without retaliation. This is the path for kingdom people.

06/03/2026

Jesus introduces a kingdom that doesn't operate on 'an eye for an eye.' He challenges us not to retaliate or match offenses, but to respond differently. Discover what this means for everyday situations.

The Civil Rights movement understood a critical lesson: true change doesn't happen in the moment, but in the preparation beforehand. Those marchers weren't deciding their response on the spot; they trained, role-played, and committed. This isn't about following rules, but about becoming a person capable of responding with the 'third way'—a commitment built over time through practice and reflection.

05/31/2026

Jesus' message wasn't about adding more rules. It was about building a community so trustworthy, promises become unnecessary. It's about character—letting your word truly be your bond.

05/30/2026

We often use disclaimers like 'to be honest' or 'let me be real,' but what does that say about what we said before? These phrases undermine our credibility, even when meant to emphasize importance. Let's aim for genuine authenticity in our words.

05/29/2026

Dallas Willard's powerful words: 'To cut the root of anger is to wither the tree of human evil.' Jesus adds a practical step: 'First be reconciled to your brother.' A profound insight into overcoming negativity.

05/29/2026

Imagine a community where your word is your bond, where commitments are kept, and where honesty is valued above all else. This isn't about rules, but about being shaped into a different kind of people by a different kind of King. It's the kingdom of God breaking into ordinary life, one kept promise at a time.

05/28/2026

Imagine a community built on such truthful character that your word alone is enough. Jesus envisioned a world without fine print or contracts, where 'yes' means yes and 'no' means no. Anything more, he said, comes from the evil one.

05/27/2026

The serpent didn't lie to Eve, but subtly questioned God's word, creating doubt. This distortion of trustworthy speech, not violence, was humanity's first sin. It's a powerful reminder of how words can shape understanding.
