Services and Activities
Worship at First Christian is offered in ways designed to deepen the relationship one has with God, with humanity, and with other parts of creation.
Weekly worship is based upon the Revised Common Lectionary. This provides a consistent theme or thread connecting the various parts of our worship. This theme will be experienced in our responsive readings, prayers, hymns, and sermons.
At First Christian, we recognize God as the recipient and audience of our worship. We also acknowledge Scripture and its interpretation can offer words of challenge and grace. As a part of our tradition within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
Sunday morning worship take place at two different times, both including the Lord’s Supper:
8:30 am Worship
This worship service is “contemplative” and considered more intimate in nature as it allows intentional periods of silent, personal reflection, but also communal dialogue upon the morning’s Scripture and sermon.
This service of worship takes place in our sanctuary.
11:00 am Worship
This worship service is much more traditional in nature and incorporates a more “liturgical feel.” Included is a children’s sermon and often a special presentation by our chancel choir. We offer a concurrent children’s worship experience for youth in Pre-K through 5th grade. At our 11 am worship, we offer a nursery for children in Kindergarten and younger.
Special Services of Worship
Throughout the course of the liturgical year, we offer special worship opportunities. We gather on Christmas Eve, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and on Easter day at sunrise to worship
Through our partnership with Disciples on Campus, we occasionally have worship services on Wednesday evenings specifically geared for college age participants. A schedule of these worship services can be found at www.ccofga.org
