I think these words describe First Christian Church (CFCC). Are there words that describe what you need? I need joy, singing, interaction and creativity in my life. What do you need in your life?
Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).
There is so much more to life than politics, Hollywood, and info-mercials. The message we get from our world is to “take” all you can from life before it is “taken” from you. Now doesn’t that just make you want to get up in the morning and take on the day!?!
This is why we preach Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came in the flesh, crucified and risen from the dead. His teaching, His crucifixion, and His glorious resurrection promise a new life of freedom for those who will choose to surrender their own life to Him.
It is a strange dichotomy. The bible says that while we are free to choose how we want to live, we are really just slaves to our own sinful desires. Yet, if we were to commit our lives to Jesus Christ and in effect become a servant or slave of Christ, we can experience total freedom in our hearts.
I chuckle when I think of the story in the bible of Paul and Barnabas sitting in prison singing songs of joy to the Lord. Isn’t that something? The world tries to punish them for their life in Christ and force them to conform to their expectations and so they’re put in prison. And yet in their heart, there was a profound freedom. They didn’t worry about their finances, their punishment, or their careers. They just sang to the Lord. Wow!
This is what we believe and teach at CFCC and the joy in my life is seeing people experience these new freedom realities everyday in their life.
Why don’t you visit for awhile? There is no pressure to join or commit. We simply want to encourage you to consider the claims of Jesus Christ and make a choice for freedom in your life.

Our Vision
To build a growing church of worshippers in our area who are daily surrendering their lives to Jesus Christ, sharing with others their life in Jesus Christ, and serving one another in the power of Jesus Christ.
“…that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.” Colossians 1: 9-12
