In Worship The worship experience at First Christian Church is a balanced blend of traditional and contemporary style. The Lord's Supper (Holy Communion) is observed weekly and offered to everyone who is willing to participate in a knowledgeable and respectful way. Along with Pastor Steve's biblical and practical messages, our worship becomes both inspirational and enjoyable. Our English services (9:00 & 10:30 a.m.) and Spanish service (10:30 a.m.) meet on Sunday; the English worship in the worship center and the Spanish worship in the chapel. The Tagalog language worship meets at 5:00 p.m. Sunday in the worship center.
In Children's Ministry On Sunday mornings there is a program for babies and toddlers. During the morning worship a Junior Church experience is provided for children through 6th grade. With the Music Each congregation has a choir and a worship team. In addition, the English service has a praise band which routinely leads in worship as well as provide inspirational messages in song. With Future Events With Ministry Teams The men and women of the church are organized into ministry teams to implement spiritual growth of the members as well as outreach to the community.

With Outreach Each of our church members have been provided with evangelism tools and are trained and encouraged to witness as a way of life. In times of economic downturn we have opened a church food distribution room for our community. Every Wednesday and Friday evening the pantry is open for free food distribution. We are also a food distribution center for the San Diego Food Bank the 2nd Friday morning of each month from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. Any resident of National City who meets certain financial criteria may receive free food. Three hundred fifty of our neighbors receive food for their families. Over 1100 people benefit from this program. We maintain a discount food program available to the public through The Treasure Box. Currently for $32 you can purchase o box of frozen food worth about $75 to $100.
