#connect

​At First Christian we desire to be one with another.   
We fellowship together, pray together and worship together.  
From our youngest to our oldest we strive to be the family that God calls us to be. 
Small groups are a centering in our experiences and
​intergenerational activities serve to bring us closer together.   
Below are ways in which you can find a circle within this family of believers. 
​

Sunday Morning
Faith Discussion Groups | 11:11AM following Worship

Sunday Morning | Disciples Class

This class, ages 50 to 70 something, meets every Sunday following worship. Their class is located in the Education Building, currently in the Parlor. This class opens up with a rousing hymn every morning. Members of the class take turn leading each and every week in a lecture and discussion style.

Sunday Morning | Prayer Shawl Ministry

​Our prayer shawl ministry meets Sundays at 11:15AM in the Parlor. This ministry grew out of an education hour experience and is continuing to grow! All materials are provided. Children to senior adults are involved in this ministry which was commissioned on Sunday, February 7, 2016. The prayer shawls are created and distributed to members of our community who are in our prayers. Anyone is welcome to walk in and join at any time! If you know of someone in need of a prayer shawl or would like to be involved, please message us!

#FCCROCKS

John 8:7 “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone {at her}.” 

​In this ministry we strive to remember that none of us are perfect.  We want to use these stones as a bridge  - so as in reference to scripture, not cast or throw stones, but rather use these stones to share reminders of grace, love, acceptance and worth in the eyes of God.  We paint these messages together in fellowship and send them out into the world in hopes of changing a heart or life, if even for a moment.  Visit + request to join our Facebook Group to learn about upcoming painting times. 

​You can also visit our page here on our website to learn more about upcoming times and stories of those who have found our rocks!

Mid-Week
​Relational Groups

A Novel Idea

Every third Tuesday you can hear discussions and ideas being shared from "A Novel Idea" relational group. This group meets on the first floor of the Education Building at 5:30PM {every third Tuesday}. Members here have thought provoking discussions surrounding their readings which challenge themselves and each other.   Visit our "Newsletter & Dates" page for information on their upcoming book. 

FCC Green Chalice

People in this group deeply care about the environment.  They believe the efforts we make to help better care for the environment are a direct response to our care for God's creation.   It is the duty of our creation to counter-act the deep changes that are happening as a direct result of our choices.  

First Christian is a Green Chalice congregation.  To learn more about what this means, read on!

Growing Disciples (Children & Youth)
