HOW WE SERVE BEYOND OUR WALLS
Community Table
In 2005, First Christian Church began serving a free dinner on Monday evenings to anyone wishing to partake. Each week, we welcome community guests into our spacious fellowship hall for a prayer of thanksgiving, hot meal, and dessert. Companionship and conversation are abundant during this time of sharing; we now welcome over 100 men, women, and children each Monday.
Haven Youth Center
In 1998, The Haven Youth Center was founded as a community-based not-for-profit organization serving middle school students. It is located in our building at 39 East Jackson Street, behind Disciple House. The Haven Youth Center is to provide students in grades 5 through 8 a safe place to come after school to hang out with friends, to visit, to play games, eat, study, learn new life skills and do community service projects.
Kairos Prison Ministry
Kairos Prison Ministry mission is to share the transforming love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the hearts and lives of incarcerated men, women, and youth, as well as their families, to become loving and productive citizens of their communities. Kairos takes teams into prisons for weekend “retreats” and follow-up meetings. FCC also provides hundreds of chocolate chip cookies, financial and prayer support.
COMMUNION

It's a joy to gather with the people we love and know!
Having community with others is an incredibly important part of our health and wellness. Give thanks today for open doors, open arms, and welcoming smiles.
Is there someone who comes to mind when you read this post? If so, this is your sign to take a moment and pray.
Father God, we choose forgiveness today toward the people who have hurt us. We forgive them because you forgive them, Jesus. We pray for opportunities to reconcile. We pray for healthy communication. We pray for healing in our hearts. Please show us how to be a good neighbor in the midst of pain.
We pledge to pursue connection when we have the chance, so that every reconciliation we have will show what the love of God can do. May the triumphs we have in our relationships bring you glory.
Amen!
