Our Adult Ministries and Programs

Sunday School
  • First Christian Church offers three adult Sunday School classes starting at 8:00am. The Disciples class meets in the back of the dining room in Crossroads. The New Beginnings class meets in the Long Room located in the church and the Young Adult class meets in the Fellowship Hall in the church. Each of these classes offers an enjoyable, insightful look at the books of the Bible. Bring your Bible or we have one for you.

Circle I meets on the second Monday of the month in the Crossroads dining room. Circle IV meets on the second Thursday of the month at Carl's Cardinal Inn. Circle V meets the first Thursday evening in different homes. The ladies sponsor a yearly Christmas bazaar, have a food booth at Color Drive, provide and serve all our funeral dinners, serve our Wednesday Youth treats, help provide coffee and supplies for the church and Crossroads and help out wherever and whenever they are needed. Monies they raise go out to missions in the church and help out in the community.
