First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, most often verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors.

People are welcome to worship and explore God’s word together “that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine” (Romans 1:12).

Message From the Pastor

Pastor Gary Whitlach will deliver the message this week. The theme of his message is how believers can learn the practical applications when studying God’s word.

The message will be a fascinating and encouraging message from the book of 2 Chronicles, Chapters 14-16, which include the life of Asa, who was the king of Judah. King Asa is known for good things and wrong things he did during his reign. These actions serve as examples for today’s Christians to learn what this king did right and where he failed, and how to apply the good and how to avoid the wrong choices he made.

Weekend Services Sunday services from 9:3010:45 a.m. are traditional, with hymnal music led by Pat Kogak at the piano. This week, church members Al and Sherry Parmenter will bring the special music to the service.
