First Christian's congregation has about 100 members, as many are snowbirds who live in Bradenton for part of the year. Its grounds boast a well-manicured lawn and ample parking in the rear. Inside the sanctuary, visitors will find an organ and piano. Organized in 1959, a few of the original fifty or so members are still active today within the Church. First Christian hosts a Wednesday evening fellowship meal, Bible study and prayer time. It also sponsors several missionaries. Dan Smith is the Pastor.
