Partnership with Tarrant

One of the outreach ministries of our congregation is assisting the young people at Tarrant Middle School, which certainly helps the teachers too!   Take advantage of the sales which happen over the summer, which as every child knows… is too short!

Comfort Care Bags

Every other month the Salt Christian Sunday class, sets aside a Sunday to pack 80 handmade bags with lip balm, puzzle books, pens, notepads, candy, gum, mints and hand sanitizer.  These bags are shared with patients receiving cancer treatments through Virginia and Riverside Oncology.  

The Welcome Table

The Welcome Table has been a signature ministry for First Christian for over 8 years.  Thanks to our amazing ministry partners we are able to offer a free dinner every Tuesday night from 6:00 -7:00. Everyone in the community is welcome.
