UPCOMING EVENTS

EASTER AT 1C
Easter is more than a date on the calendar. It is the reminder that hope is not wishful thinking. It is anchored in a risen Savior.
BAPTISM WEEKEND
Some moments mark a new chapter. Baptism is one of those moments. It is a public step of faith that declares you are trusting Jesus and stepping into new life with Him. It does not mean you have everything figured out. It means you know who you are following.
MEN'S SOFTBALL
If you are ready to get out on the field, compete, and have a great time with other men from 1C and the community, this league is for you. The season runs for 8 weeks and ends with a high energy tournament where every team plays for bragging rights.
PLANT BINGO
Women of 1C and friends are invited to a fun twist on a classic favorite. Plant Bingo combines the excitement of traditional bingo with something we all love… plants. Each round features plant themed cards, and instead of candy bars or gift cards, winners head home with beautiful plants to grow and enjoy.
DAY OF PRAYER
On Thursday, May 7, the 1C Worship Center will be open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM for a day of personal, self-guided prayer and reflection. This is an opportunity to pause in the middle of a busy week and pray for our nation, our communities, our church, and the world around us. Come and go as your schedule allows. Whether you stay five minutes or an hour, this space is for you.
FAMILY DEDICATION
Family Dedication is a special time when parents publicly commit to raising their child in the Christian faith. It is a declaration that you want your home to be centered on Jesus and that you are asking for God’s guidance as you lead your child. It is also a reminder that you are not doing this alone. Your church family stands beside you, praying for you and supporting you every step of the way.
NIGHT OF STARS
We’re excited to announce that we’ll be partnering with our friends at West Side Christian Church in Springfield for their incredible Night of Stars event that will take place on Friday, April 24th, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm at West Side Christian Church!
Night of Stars is a prom experience created especially for individuals with special needs—a night full of joy, connection, and celebration. It also provides a meaningful night of respite for their amazing caregivers.
