We're gonna have a blast at the church with free goodies, super cool photo ops, and more, so come and join us in person! First Christian Church is located at 3350 N MacArthur Rd in Decatur, IL. If it's your first time to visit First Christian Church, be sure to stop by the "Start Here" table near the entrance where we have a special gift for you.
Church Online
Church online is a convenient and easy way to worship with your family from home. All service times will be streamed live exclusively on Church Online Platform. If you happen to miss AT THE MOVIES during the weekend, you can catch a replay the following Wednesdays and Fridays at 6pm and 7pm. Consider hosting a Watch Party at your house!
Kids & Youth
Kids and teens are joining the fun as well! FirstKids Elementary (K-5th grade) will learn a new biblical theme each week using clips from kid-friendly movies they know and love. FirstKids (brith-5th grade) meets Saturdays at 5pm and Sundays at 8am, 9:30am, and 11am. Middle and high school students are welcome to attend AT THE MOVIES with their families, but we'll also have special movie selections geared just for teens Sunday evenings from 4:30-6pm during Student Life.

Host a Watch Party!
Do you have friends, family, or neighbors that you wish could hear the truths of Jesus, but you know they won't enter the doors of a church any time soon? If this is true for you, then check out this short video and learn how you can bring AT THE MOVIES to your home.
All five weeks are written specifically for those who currently don’t have a relationship with Jesus. We’re confident that everyone will get something out of each message, and we are praying that people will experience Jesus in a real way through AT THE MOVIES.
Here's how to get started:
Choose a Time
Watch parties will be streamed exclusively on Church Online Platform at the following times:
Wednesdays 6pm & 7pm
Fridays 6pm & 7pm
Make the Invite
Who can you invite to attend "church" at your home? You can say something like:
"My church does this thing every year where they take popular movies and pull out truths about life and faith from them. Are you interested in coming over to my house one night this week and watching it with me and some other friends? They're only about 35 minutes."
Set the Details
Will there be food, like maybe snacks before or dessert after? What time should your guests show up since it starts right on the hour? Can kids come? Get all the details ready ahead of time!
Discussion Time
Considering using these questions to help create conversation after the message:
- What sticks out to you from the video?
- What did you find interesting?
- Was there something you learned about God that surprises you?
- Is there something you learned about yourself or that was relevant to your life right now?
- How could you apply the truths talked about in your life right now?
Questions? We're happy to help! Call or text us at (217) 875-3350.
