Repairers of the Broken
In early December 2021, entirely out of season, tornadoes tore across Kentucky and seven other states, killing more than 80 people and devastating many communities just down the road from us.

Isaiah reminds us,
Work hard to feed hungry people. Satisfy the needs of those who are crushed. Then my blessing will light up your darkness. And the night of your suffering will become as bright as the noonday sun. I will always guide you. I will satisfy your needs in the land baked by the sun. I will make you stronger. You will be like a garden that has plenty of water. You will be like a spring whose water never runs dry. Your people will rebuild the cities that were destroyed long ago. And you will build again on the old foundations. You will be called One Who Repairs Broken Walls. -Isaiah 58:10-12 (NIrV) |

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Paducah is committed to supporting our local community as they rebuild homes, communities, and lives. We are committed to being Repairers of the Broken, to satisfy the needs of our community and to bring light and hope to a world that needs to be reminded of God's presence.
In 2023, we have partnered with IOCC (International Orthodox Christian Charities) to provide housing for individuals and groups to rebuild across many effected areas in Kentucky. The love that you share through your gift of service and generosity is the key to repairing the broken and restoring communities. Thank you for serving!
