First Christian Church of El Centro is excited to invite you to "Celebrate Light," a free community event designed for all ages! Join us on Sunday, October 27th, from 5 PM to 8 PM in our parking lot at 450 S. Waterman Ave. Experience a carnival-like atmosphere with a plethora of games, live music, raffles, a mechanical bull, bounce houses, delicious food, and plenty of candy.

Join us on August 28th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM for a special screening of "Unsung Hero." This inspiring film tells the true story of David and Helen Smallbone, who, after facing the collapse of their music company, relocate their family from Australia to the United States. With determination, faith, and a love for music, they navigate challenges and nurture the budding talents of their children. Their journey culminates in the rise of two of the most successful acts in Inspirational Music history: five-time Grammy Award-winning artists For King & Country and Rebecca St. James. Don't miss this uplifting tale of resilience and faith!

Celebrate Light is our annual, western-themed fall carnival open to the entire community! From carnival games to face painting, live music to line dancing—there is something for everyone to enjoy! Everything is free of charge aside from food and drinks (purchase tickets at the entrance). Bring your family and friends for a fun, memorable night!

The service will take place in the auditorium, and be comprised of singing, a message from our lead pastor, and an opportunity for eulogies. Refreshments will be provided in the gym afterwards.

There will be refreshments and child care provided!

In the chaos that often occurs during this time of year—from holiday shopping & tree decorating, to cookie baking & family gathering—it’s easy to miss the true reason of the season.

(Luke 2:14)
