We are excited to announce that First Christian is adding a worship opportunity for families on Thursdays starting September 6! Worship will begin at 6:00 p.m. and run for an hour. This will be an identical service to Sunday's contemporary service. Childcare will be provided from birth to three years old. There are many people who simply can't attend Sunday morning services. Societal norms have changed. The lines of what used to be a typical weekend, have blurred. Work schedules, children's events and a transient society have pulled many away from the privilege and responsibility of regular worship. If you have friends, family, or acquaintances who would benefit from this worship opportunity, please start letting them know about this now. We believe that this time slot will provide a much needed service in our community!

Starting Point is where we help you know more about what we believe, share next steps, help you grow in your faith, and help you connect into the FCC family.  Those who want to learn more about following Christ, being baptized, or becoming a member of FCC will find this gathering valuable. If you want to learn more about baptism or membership prior to the next Starting Point, contact Misty at Misty.Rowe@fccjacksonville.org. The next Starting Point is Sunday, August 26 at 10:45 am. in our Coffee Shop. 

On Friday, August 24, our church family will deploy onto the campus of MacMurray College for our annual "Mac Move In Day". Each year we show new college students the love of Christ in a practical way as we help them carry all of their belongings into the dorm room that they will call home over the next 9 months. This event will be 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. If you are interested in helping, please meet us at the church at 9:30 a.m. to receive a free T-Shirt and join us in prayer before we head out!
