A Note About Worship Starting Sunday, January 6th, we will resume our regular order of worship - Contemporary at 9:00 AM and Traditional at 11:00 AM with both worship services taking place in our Family Life Center. The Sanctuary will be under construction until Easter Sunday.
It is an exciting time to be a part of First Christian Church. Thank you for your patience and grace during this important transition time. Just because we are not in the Sanctuary doesn’t mean we can’t start 2013 with a bang!

Prayer Room
Special Note: Prayer list names are renewed every three weeks as we seek to keep the list as current as possible and
allow space for new requests. Our joys, concerns
and deepest needs are already on God’s heart long before
we put them to paper.
…for your Father knows what
you need before you ask him.
