To all of our Faith Christian Family Church partners, donors and attendees: 

These past months of quarantining and staying home have been difficult on all of us and we have so missed seeing each of you in person. We are blessed that God has provided our livestream to be able to keep our church services going out to homes all over this region and around the world even. But it is not the same as gathering together in one place and being encouraged through corporate worship. So, we want to announce to you our big news, (if you haven’t heard it by now) - that we will re-open the church for services beginning on Wednesday, May 20, praise God!

We WILL be able to all gather together in the church building, but with specific guidelines that the state of Texas has given to direct us in how we have our in-person services. We want to honor our government and follow these explicitly to safeguard the health and well-being of our congregation. So, we are letting you know ahead of time what these new protocols will look like. Please read over the Requirements to Attend so you and your family are aware of the changes.

If you are not ready to attend public services and you feel more comfortable at home, then we respect your decision to participate with us through the livestream. We are looking forward to having our church doors open again for corporate worship and we are blessed to have you as a part of of FCFC! Please let us know if you have any questions.
