Join us for Elf Night!  This is another fun-filled outreach for the church. Dinner, Elf style, is from 5:30-6:00 pm.  Who doesn't want to eat spaghetti with candy and maple syrup? Okay if you don't, there will be regular spaghetti also.

Activities and crafts from 6:00-7:00 pm. Some things to look forward to - have a Mail Room Dance Party, snowball fights, decorate a Christmas cookie, and visit Candyland.  Then at 7:00 pm we watch the movie together.  There's even a rumor that Buddy might be here!

We need 35 Difference Makers.  25 to oversee an activity table: we need you here no later than 5:45pm.  Activities run from 6:00-7:00pm.  Then you will clean up your station from 7:00-7:15pm.  We need 10 people to help with after the event cleanup: we need you here at 7:00 pm.  To be a part of making a difference this night, please fill out THIS FORM with your availability.

At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of the One—Jesus—who embodied the way back to God, the way through our differences, and the way forward for the world.  So, Christ's Church Family, we invite you to join us this Christmas Eve at 6:00 pm for a sacred and heartfelt celebration as we gather to reflect on the birth of Christ.  Through the joy of song, the power of prayer, and the timeless truth of Scripture, we will honor the miracle of Jesus’ arrival and the hope that only He brings.  This special service offers a moment to pause amid the season’s busyness, find rest for your soul, and refocus on the profound gift of God’s love.  Come experience the joy and peace of Christmas in a meaningful way—everyone is welcome as we celebrate together and share in this beautiful reminder of The Way in a Manger!

We have such an amazing staff here at Christ's Church.  They have worked extremely hard during a challenging year to continue ministry and find new ways of offering ministry, programs, and outreach in the name of Christ for our community!  Many people in our church have expressed a desire to give a Christmas gift to Pastor Jason and the staff.  So, this year, we are doing a special Love Gift Collection that will allow us to provide a year-end “bonus” for all our staff as a token of our appreciation for who they are and all they do.

We, as Elders, have decided to try to coordinate this by asking that anyone who wants to give staff a gift, to give money to our "Love Gift" fund.  All proceeds will be shared with staff in an equitable manner.

Please note, this is NOT a church offering, nor is it required in any way.

Love Gifts can be given online here, by choosing the Love Gift tab.  You can also drop a gift in the Black Boxes on the back walls of the Main Auditorium, or you can mail a check to the church with “Love Gift” in the memo line.

We ask that ALL Love Gifts be given by December 21st, so we may give them to staff on Sunday, December 29th.

Thank you in advance for your support for our staff and all they have done this year in Helping People Take Their Next Steps Toward Jesus.  God is moving in such a powerful way in and through each one of you and our Church body as a whole, and we know that He is not done!  As Jason says so often, we know that The Best is Yet to Come!  If you have any questions, please see any one of the Elders; Keith Layman, Phil Hentz, or Chad Meyer, with questions.  Thank you and God bless!

Hey, Christ's Church Family!  It is that time of year again.  Every year in December, we have our annual congregational meeting.  As we do each year, we will be affirming the budget for the upcoming year, 2026.  We will have copies of the Proposed 2026 Budget available at our Next Steps area the next 4 Sundays (12/7, 12/14, 12/22, & 12/28).  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Jason or one of our other Elders: Chad Meyer, Keith Layman, or Phil Hentz. 

2025 has been an absolutely amazing year, I'd even say, "One for the books," but we know that God has so much more in store for Christ's Church, our Community, and the city of Fort Wayne.  Our heartbeat will continue to be that we're a place where it's ok to not be ok, but God doesn't want us to stay that way.  To be a group of people who will do whatever it takes, short of sinning, to reach people who are far from God and who need to find Hope and Healing.  To Help People Take Their Next Steps Toward Jesus.  We believe that God is challenging us and our congregation to do even more and take some steps of faith as we trust Him to do Immeasurably More than we could ever ask or imagine, because we were Made for More!  We are asking each of you to join us on this incredible journey, step out in faith with us, commit to serving and giving to the Kingdom Work that God has prepared for us, and watch what God does in us and through us as we all embrace ONE MORE: One More Person Taking One More Step with Jesus.

The Best is Yet to Come!
Pastor Jason

At Christ’s Church, we believe we can never stop making room for      One More.  One more addict who needs freedom, one more prodigal who needs to come home, one more child who needs to know Jesus loves them, one more single mom who needs encouragement, one more person who is searching, broken, or lost.  Each “One More” matters deeply to God, and because of that, they must matter to us.  That’s why, beginning October 5, 2025, we will be moving from one service to TWO WORSHIP services at 9:00 and 11:00.  We can’t be satisfied when we know there are so many more who need the hope, joy, forgiveness, and love of Jesus.  We believe this step of faith, and it is a huge step of faith, is all about creating space for the people God will bring next.

With this exciting step comes a challenge and an invitation FOR EVERYONE  who calls Christ’s Church home.  We’re asking you to not only attend a service but to also serve at the other service.  This allows us to worship together, build community, and create life-changing environments where others can encounter Jesus.  In this next phase of God’s vision for Christ’s Church, we need ALL hands on deck!  Please take time to pray about where and how you can serve as a Difference Maker.  Your willingness to step up and help us prepare for “One More” will not only impact our community but also echo into eternity as we continue to follow Jesus and His unstoppable movement.

To help us prepare well, we're asking everyone to complete a short survey.  In it, you'll be able to let us know which service you plan to attend and, if you're willing to serve and be a Difference Maker, which service you'd like to serve at.  This will help us in preparing the work of the Holy Spirit to provide the greatest experience possible for CCKids, Worship, Connection, Community, Prayer, Next Steps, the Cafe, and more.  Please take a moment and click on this link to complete the survey: HERE.  - Pastor Jason & CCLeadership.
