Welcome!
First Christian Church is a multi-generational group of believers who follow Jesus by growing and serving together. We would love for you to join us for contemporary worship, Bible-centered teaching, and various connection opportunities for those of all ages. Our worship service times are Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 8:45am and 10:30am and are available in person and online. We also have a sensory-friendly service in the East Auditorium every Saturday at 5pm. If you have any questions along the way, contact Hannah Beery at hbeery@firstdecatur.org or call/text 217.875.3350.
