A private grave-side service will take place at Cedar Lawn Memorial Park (17636 West Washington Street, Hagerstown, MD) at the convenience of the family.

Dear FCC, it is so hard to lose my best friend, Richard. He had several cardiac arrests. He never woke up, didn’t know what had happened to him and did not suffer. He peacefully went to be with our Lord. 

Due to Coronavirus concerns, we have to suspend our Drive-In Worship Service this Sunday.

Please visit our website or Facebook Page for our video services.

Drive-in worship, Sunday at 10:00 AM at First Christian Church.

You are invited to park in the church parking lot and tune into the service on your car radio or portable electronic device (smartphone, tablet, etc.)

Due to Coronavirus concerns, the church building will not be accessible for any reason (no restrooms) and no communion elements or bulletins will be distributed. Bring your own communion supplies if you wish.

A special musical prelude will be broadcast at 9:45 for radio listeners.

Dear Friends,

I'm sure by now you have heard that Governor Larry Hogan has mandated the closure of all non-essential businesses in Maryland. The First Christian Church office will be closed beginning on Tuesday, March 24th. I wanted to make you aware of how this will impact some vital functions of the congregation until we are able to return to normal operations.

Dear Friends,

I pray that you and your family are safe and well. These are troubled times and I certainly share in your wondering about what the days, weeks, and months to come hold in store. Whatever may come, our faith teaches us that we can place our trust in the one who created us and whose love never fails us. May you find peace in the knowledge that God is bigger than the trouble of the day, however real and fearsome that trouble may be.

Dear Friends,

I was reminded this week of some wise and timely words a three-year-old uttered to me, her anxious father. Seven years ago, this week, I was fast asleep one night.

On March 12, Governor Larry Hogan instituted several state-wide measures to curtail the spread of the Coronavirus, including a two-week closure of schools and a ban on gatherings of 250 people. In response, the leadership of First Christian Church has decided to cancel all church related activities and all non-church functions scheduled on church property, including worship, from Friday March 13th through Saturday March 28th. We will evaluate the potential to hold worship on Sunday March 29th as public officials continue to release additional details about the Coronavirus pandemic and issue further guidance.

All Church Activities for Sunday, March 15th have been cancelled.

This includes Worship, Worship and Wonder, Fellowship, and Sunday School.
