We come to worship Jesus, experience His presence,
and let His Spirit transform us from the inside out.
That’s just the beginning.
Then we go—into our neighborhoods, schools, and homes—
to live out the Gospel and share His love.
This is church. This is purpose.

our story
FCC Burrton began with a farmer and preacher named Brother Alex Elliet, who started gathering believers just east of town.
The first building went up south of where we meet today, and by 1892, we officially became a church.
In 1919, the current sanctuary was built, and later, we added an education wing for kids’ church, a library, and more space for ministry.
In 1993, we stepped out as a non-denominational church, no longer affiliated with the Disciples of Christ.
Since then, we’ve stayed rooted in God’s Word, growing as a community that follows Jesus and shares His love with others.
Who Is God?
He’s the Creator of everything—eternal, holy, and in control.
One God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Co-equal. Always united. Always good.
This is the God we worship.
Let Me Tell You About My Jesus
He’s the promised Savior—fully God and fully human.
Born of a virgin.
Lived without sin.
Died on a cross.
Rose from the dead.
He crushed sin and death to bring us back to God.
Now He’s alive, reigning, and one day He’s coming back to finish what He started.
Jesus is King.
And He’s not done yet.
Who Is The Holy Spirit?
He’s not an energy or a vibe—He’s God.
Co-equal with the Father and the Son.
The Holy Spirit shows us our need for Jesus, lives in us when we’re saved, and helps us grow in faith.
He purifies, guides, empowers, and sends us out to share the hope of Jesus with the world.
The Spirit changes everything.
What Is Our Foundation?
The Bible.
It’s God’s Word—alive, true, and trustworthy.
Written by people, inspired by the Holy Spirit, it’s our source for truth, hope, and how to live.
Not just a book.
The book.
Why Do We Need Jesus?
We’re all made in God’s image—on purpose, with value. He created us male and female, designed to reflect His heart.
But sin broke that design. It separated us from God and brought pain, death, and confusion into the world.
Jesus came to fix what sin broke.
He paid the price, defeated death, and made a way back to God.
When we repent and trust Him, we’re forgiven, set free, and made whole.
This is the good news.
What Is Salvation About?
Jesus took our place on the cross and rose again so we could be free—forgiven, fully loved, and forever His.
When you believe in what He’s done and receive His grace, you're saved. It's not about earning it. It’s a gift.
Grace through faith.
Freedom from sin.
New life—body, soul, and spirit.
That’s salvation.
What Is The Church?
It’s not a building—it’s us.
We’re the Body of Christ, called by God, empowered by His Spirit, and gifted to serve.
We grow together, support each other, and live on mission.
Our goal?
To make disciples and share Jesus with the world.
This is our purpose.
This is church.
We Follow Jesus In Two Ways
Baptism
A public step that shows we belong to Jesus—buried with Him, raised to new life.
We baptize by immersion, just like the early church did.
Communion
Every week, we remember Jesus' sacrifice through bread and cup—His body broken and His blood poured out for us.
It's a moment to reflect, give thanks, and receive grace.
Simple. Sacred. All about Jesus.
