Our Name


Our name, "First Century Christian Faith," unites first-century Christianity with our need to trust Jesus the Messiah today. In studying Christian origins, biblical scholars apply modern tools to research the beginning of Jesus' earthly ministry and the foundation of his church. However, our trust in God makes him most relevant today. First Century Christian Faith is an ancient-modern appeal to Christians to follow Jesus like his original disciples without adding or subtracting from his lessons (1 Cor. 4:6).​


Our Brand


Our brand tells you what to expect from this ministry in terms of lessons and theology. "First Century" takes priority over the modern period because God chose to send Jesus incarnate at this time in history. The New Testament is our primary source for the historical Jesus and the model for conducting church matters today. "Christian Faith" represents our commitment to Jesus, emphasizing our participation in faith and discipleship so we may obey his commandments.


Our Logo


Our logo features an earth-tone circle in glacier blue, dusk blue, and evergreen. The roundel breaks down into three components: 1) the dome-like shape of the sky in glacier blue, which scatters the light of heaven to all the earth; 2) an open Bible in dusk blue that tells us about God; and 3) an evergreen leaf symbolizing growth and eternal life. An evergreen cross charges the logo with the initials FCCF in the four corners. The emblem symbolizes our striving for a first-century Christian faith and paleo-orthodoxy. We apply blue because 1) it is God's favorite color in Scripture (see "Blue: God's Favorite Color"), 2) blue is the traditional color of Judaism and the Law of Moses, and 3) blue is the most relaxing color according to science (see here).


Dusk blue represents a little light in what would otherwise be a darker shade of blue. Dusk is the day's final hours, right after sunset and before nightfall. Jesus is our light in a dark, sinful world (John 3:19-21). Furthermore, we include evergreen because it is the color of nature, symbolizing life on earth and eternal life with God. The circle represents our unity with Jesus and historical Christianity. The leaves symbolize the birth of Christianity in the first century and its growth worldwide. The initials FCCF represent how the gospel spread from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, from which we Christians benefit today. The blend of blue and evergreen also alludes to the distinct but mutual identities of Jew and Christian Gentile in God's kingdom. By adopting this brand, we demonstrate our commitment to cherishing the original meaning of Jesus' lessons in the present.​
