Upcoming events
Run for Rest
We are excited to announce the upcoming Run for Rest, a 5K run/walk family event hosted by First Christian Church of Dodge City. The event is a great opportunity for families and individuals to come together and support a worthy cause. All proceeds from the event will go towards FCC's Rest Ministry, which is dedicated to providing beds to kids and families in Dodge City who don't have a place to sleep.
We believe that everyone deserves a good night's sleep and a comfortable bed to rest on, and so we are inviting you to join us in making a difference: “Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Mathew 11:28
By participating in our 5K run/walk, you can help us support families in need and bring hope to those who are struggling. Whether you're an experienced runner or just looking for a fun way to get involved in your community, our event is the perfect opportunity to make a difference and have a great time doing it.

FCC Fall Kickoff

Baby Dedication Sunday
We believe children are a gift from God. As parents, being a part of a loving church family can help you raise your children in the ways of the Lord. We see throughout scripture the practice of parents presenting their children to the Lord for God's blessing upon their family and to dedicate their child unto the Lord (Luke 2:22, Mark 10:13).
Although this act does not ensure the salvation of the child, it is a powerful declaration before the Lord and the broader church family of the parents' intent to train and teach their children to follow Jesus.
If you would like to sign-up your little one to be dedicated on Sunday, July 30, click the link here and fill out the form online: www.fccdc.com/babydedications
