Newcomer Coffee | June 12

If you consider yourself new to Christ Community, our next Newcomer Coffee on Sunday, June 12. There’s no need to sign up. After the service you attend, you can meet with a pastor, hear more about the church, ask questions, and enjoy a local coffeeshop.

Serving This Summer

Summer is upon us, and we are in need of special volunteers who are willing to fill Sunday morning roles left open by regular volunteers on vacation. If you’re willing to try out a new role this summer, please contact Tyler at TylerC@ChristCommunityKC.org.

Kid Connect

We are convinced that intergenerational worship is important for the spiritual formation of children. Children are welcome in any worship service. We provide “Kid Connect” bags with notes and activities to help children follow along with the sermon. See a Children’s Ministries volunteer if you’d like to grab a bag.
