First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from the Holy Bible verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors to join and explore God’s word together, “that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine,” Romans 1:12.

Guest Speaker’s Message

Troy Gardner, the Western Region representative for Samaritan’s Purse, will be the guest speaker at First Christian Church for the Saturday and Sunday services this weekend beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Samaritan’s Purse is a Christian organization that responds to international and U.S. disasters providing not only physical necessities to those affected by disasters, but also the spiritual needs, all done in the name of Jesus.

Samaritan’s Purse is currently providing relief to Maui after the devastating wildfires, Florida after its recent hurricane, and if requested, will respond to the recent earthquake in Morocco.

The five distinct objectives of Samaritan’s Purse are to proclaim the gospel message while helping others, serve with excellence, respond with compassionate action, demonstrate biblical integrity, and walk in bold faith.

Gardner will share what God is doing around the world in the name of his son, Jesus Christ. The love and compassion that is shown by the staff of Samaritan’s Purse and its volunteers are changing the lives of multitudes around the world in Jesus’ name.
