Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to First Christian Church of Pittsfield! We understand that trying out a church for the first time can be a little intimidating so here are a few things you might want to know about us:

What do people at FCC wear to Sunday worship?

Anything from formal to casual! You'll see both there. We are here to connect with God. Many who worship at FCC desire to honor God by putting on their "Sunday best," and that is fine, but we also have individuals who are just getting off work or may have been spending a weekend camping with the family, but ALL are welcome! The Oasis services are more generally informal in dress.

What About the Sermons?

At FCC, you will find the sermons to be Bible-centered messages that can easily be applied to your life. Our goal is to Reach, Teach and Empower people with the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ.

What Are FCC's Core Beliefs?

Please feel free to read our core beliefs  page.

What About the Services?

At all three of our Sunday morning services, we will worship in music, have prayer, meaningful sermons and celebrate communion together. Typically, our 8:00 am and Oasis worship services last about an hour, and our 10:30am blended service is just over an hour. We strive to have a variety of worship styles on Sunday morning from traditional to modern. We sing both hymns and modern worship songs and choir (10:30 service) is wonderful.

What Do We Offer For Kids and Teens?

We love our kids and youth around here. We have a children's worship program at our 10:30 am service to ensure that your child encounters Christ in a way that's relevant and meaningful for them. We also have a staffed nursery at all services and a cry room with live video feed of the service at both the 8:00 am and 10:30 am services. There are also some wonderful Sunday evening youth activities for the 6th-12th grades. Learn more about our youth minstistries.

Where Can I Park?

You are welcome to park anywhere around the church or at the Crossroads Center parking lot. We have handicapped parking close to the church.

What About Directions to FCC?

Directions to FCC can be found here. Please contact us at 217-285-4129 if you have other questions.

What If I Have Questions After I'm There?

Feel free to contact any of the ushers, greeter or pastoral staff with any questions you might have. You will find them friendly and very willing to answer any of your questions. If you would like to contact any of the staff directly, you can email them at: info@pittsfield.org

What Are Oasis Services?

The Sunday Morning Oasis (9:15 am) and Mid-Week Oasis (Wednesdays at 6:30 pm) services are held in the Crossroads Center Gym. At the Oasis services you will find the worship style more modern and expressive. The worship is led by a praise band with the intent to encounter the presence of the Living God in a personal and powerful way. The messages are relevant and biblically centered.
