First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, most often verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors.

The Message

Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,” The message here is that “blessings,” or happiness, and God’s favor are extended to nations that make him their Lord. On Sunday, July 4, America will be celebrating its 245th birthday, also known as Independence Day.

First Christian Church will look at how Christianity influenced the Founding Fathers as they crafted the Declaration of Independence and other governing documents that day.
