Each Sunday morning around 9:30, we put the coffee on to brew in the "First on Sixth Cafe".   Often we have doughnuts or other pastries available as we gather in the fellowship hall prior to Sunday School.

Sunday morning worship begins at 11 a.m.  Come a little early to enjoy the organ prelude!  Each week Pastor Brian brings an encouraging, timely and life-changing message.  Music is a rich part of our heritage and that is certainly the case in our services at First Christian where we enjoy singing the old hymns of our faith and every once in a while, we learn a new song together.  Our choir sings a selection each week and there is always something special planned, whether it be a solo, duet or instrumental.  As Disciples, The Lord's Table is a focal point of our service each week.  This gives us an opportunity to examine ourselves inwardly in terms of our relationship to God as well as reflect upon the great sacrifice Christ paid for us on Calvary.  As Disciples, we practice "open communion" welcoming all of God's children to the table regardless of denominational affiliation.

Open to all men of the church, our Disciple Men's group meets bi-monthly with all of the churches of District III.  Our meetings rotate from church to church, so follow your weekly bulletin or monthly newsletter for the schedule.  Meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.   Dinner is served at a cost of $6 per person, followed by a program by the host church.  Usually we carpool from our church and leave somewhere around 6 p.m.  Please let Pastor Brian or Roy Amos know if you can go by the Sunday before so a dinner count can be called in.  Come join us!

Our Disciple Women's group is open to all ladies of the church.  We meet on the SECOND Wednesday of every month at 6 p.m. at the church and plan various missions and outreach endeavors.  We always have a good time and would love to have you come be with us at our next meeting.  Check your weekly bulletin or monthly newsletter for more information.

We recognize our youth as the future of our church, and as such, their spiritual and social growth is very important to us here at First Christian.  We regularly plan youth outings such as bowling,  movie night, pizza parties, picnics and other outings so the kids can socialize and fellowship together both inside the church and outside as well.  We publicize these events in Sunday School class, in our weekly bulletin and our monthly newsletter, as well as on this site.  The church supports our youth activities through our budget, but occasionally the youth will hold a fund raiser of some sort for upcoming activities or missions.  Of course our main youth gathering for growth spiritually is Sunday School which meets weekly on Sundays at 10 a.m. 

Every summer, we hold Backyard Bible Club and open it to the entire community around us.  Our BYBC usually runs from every Wednesday night from late June until early August for about 7 weeks, with a closing celebration on the last night open to family members of the youth.  The kids have a great time making crafts, singing songs, playing games and most importantly, learning about Jesus and His teachings.  We select a particular mission each year to receive the offering the kids bring.  In 2011, we learned about the adventures of Bobby Bean.  Our offering in 2011 went to the Roanoke Rescue Mission.
