Weeping Water's Spiritual Church

Nebraska needs a Church where people will find a safe place to come closer to God. Worship Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

First Christian Church in Weeping Water continues to share the gift of life, a safe place to explore spirituality, celebrate diversity, positive prayer, inspirational preaching and outreach to our community.

We are all just humans enjoying God's grace. We can never create a new past. God and we accept you as you are with grace and love and spiritual friendship. No judgment, just encouragement for you.

Our church perceives joy is like a flashlight shining on one positive life experience such as the birth of your child.  Happiness is like a searchlight of living all your emotions, learning lessons from negative experiences, being an eternal optimist with positive humor, courage, and life fulfilling purpose, seeing the yellow of hope in the blue days of life. God is closer than you think!

First Christian Church

  Weeping Water, Nebraska

                                   The Church of Contagious Joy

We strive to equip ourselves to minister in Jesus' name to the needs of our community and those who truly need Christ through worship, fellowship, teaching, and learning from God's Word.

We celebrate the autonomous local church stressing freedom of conscience under God. We seek justice and Christian unity for the people on our planet Earth.

Are you looking for a warm place to belong: a place where it doesn't matter who you are, what your background is, or how much money you make?

That's who we are. You can find a community of real friends. You can find your ministry here. 

There is a place for you to serve.  We want to be a church for kids, teenagers, college students, and adults in every stage of life.  Our church teaches in color--not traditional, worn out black and white. Come and see and enjoy worship at 10:30 a.m.
