“At First Missionary Church, our church is aimed at loving the 46807 zip code community on the southside of Fort Wayne, Indiana. We have been doing that since 1905. We believe God has not solely called us to be consumers, but active participants in his mission. That is why we say while we are called “First Missionary Church” we believe we are 'Missionaries First.'"

— Pastor Jordan
