There is no worship service at Family in Christ on Sunday, August 10th, 2025!

But, why?

Church is not a building or what we do on Sunday mornings. Church is the people in the building!

On Sunday, August 10th, those people will be outside the walls of the building making God's presence known in our community serving our neighbor, Ryan Elementary School!
