OUTREACH MINISTRY TEAM - Partnering with Christ to love, serve, and heal the broken, hurting, and hopeless in our community.
John Stott - from his book "The Living Church": Jesus wants neither the ingrown “religious club” nor the “secular mission (or religion-less Christianity); he wants an “incarnational Christianity” that’s mindful of the church’s “double identity” - we’re called simultaneously out of the world and into the world."
The purpose of this ministry team is to develop ministries, projects and programs that engage people in service, building Kingdom-vision. Current ministries include quarterly Community Outreach Events and Thanksgiving/Christmas Baskets.
2025 Projects:

Past Projects:
Feeding the Homeless (06.26.24): Serving Meal at Lighthouse Ministries (downtown Lexington, KY)
Meal Packing (10.05.24): Meal Packing Event at FCC (sponsored by Scatter Joy Ministries) There were 55 volunteers (over 20 from FCC) who packed shelf stable, nutritious meals that are shipped to children and families who struggle with hunger and malnutrition. I am happy to report that we were able to pack just over 20,000 meals for the Psalm 82:3 Mission that operates in Liberia, Africa.
Feeding the Homeless (12.18.24): Serving Meal at Lighthouse Ministries (downtown Lexington, KY)
Meal Packing (03.25.23): It was a very fun and productive Saturday morning on March 25, 2023, in Cynthiana, KY. We had 65 people representing 3 churches take part in a service project. Those churches were: host Central Christian Church (Cynthiana, KY), First Christian Church (Lexington, KY) and Crooked Creek Christian Church (Irvine, KY). Volunteers packed just over 14,400 meals that will go through Lifeline Christian Mission directly to recent earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria. FCC had 19 folks present!
