We would like to welcome you to First Christian Church of Quincy. Our goal is to provide Spiritual worship for all ages. We have a nursery for children ages birth to 4 years. Children’s Church is available for children ages 5 to 12 years following the Children’s Moments. Children ages 5 to 12 years are invited to leave the sanctuary and join the Children’s Church class as they travel to the education wing. Located in the narthex you will find activity bags for children wishing to remain in the sanctuary with their family. For the hearing impaired, there are earphones, also located in the narthex. Everyone is invited to join us for a time of fellowship in the fellowship hall following our morning worship. If you have any other needs please ask one of our greeters. We hope that God has touched you in some way as you have shared this special time of worship with our church family.
