“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But, the greatest of these is LOVE” 1st Corinthians 13:13
First Christian Church
is a LOVING Family of God:
We love God
God Loves Us
We love each other
We love YOU!
We would love for you to come join us in serving God!
Our first meeting was held when 14 people met at the Chamber of Commerce building on 2/22/1998 to organize and establish our church. In April of 1999, the group had grown to 29 attending services at Freedom Plaza. After that meetings were held at the Sun City Center Funeral Home who graciously permitted use of their chapel while the congregation doubled in size and outgrew that space. In 2007 the members purchased the property at 1707 33rd St SE with plans for a future building for the Church and on Dec 5th of 2010 the groundbreaking ceremony was held.
Jesus said to go into all the world to teach the Gospel. We take this very personally and use our time and talents to support many mission fields – both locally and around the world. Locally, we support the Hunger Free Mission for Christ which provides food to the homeless and disadvantaged in the Tampa Bay area, Lake Aurora Christian Camp and retreat (Christian Camp), Johnson University (Christian Education) and Choices of Ruskin (Pregnancy counseling and support) Globally, we support New International (assists pastors in planting churches), Asia Christian Services (we donated salaries for 3 evangelists for 4 years), provided hundreds of solar powered bible/radio/light combo devices in Thai and Burmese languages for distribution in Asian countries, and supported Rapha House in Haiti (rescues girls from sexual trafficking). Our biggest accomplishment was when our congregation raised the entire funding to build a church meeting house for a church in Thailand.
