“Being new at First Church, the ChristCare group gave us a sense of caring that was so important to us.”
— Brenda & Tom Lester

“What’s special to me about the ChristCare group is the really close personal fellowship that is often so hard to find today. Many of us aren’t used to talking about our personal feelings about God and the group is a safe, comfortable place to do this.”
— Gary Clark
