First Capital Christian Church is a growing, Bible-centered church located in Corydon, Indiana, with a mission to help people find and follow Jesus. We are passionate about teaching God's Word faithfully, developing disciples, building authentic community, and equipping believers to live out their faith. Over the past several years, we've intentionally shifted away from a seeker-sensitive model toward a more Scripture-driven, discipleship-focused approach to ministry. We value biblical truth, genuine worship, strong leadership, and reaching people with the Gospel both locally and through our Church Anywhere ministry.
