Important COVID-19 Update
Due to the surge in positive COVID-19, FirstCoast MCC’s Board of Directors has made the decision to suspend ALL in person services and activities through the end of this year. We will continue to monitor the situation and make the decision when it is safe to begin meeting in person again when there are no longer spikes in infections. We are called to care for our neighbors and for the vulnerable among us. Staying home is the best way for us to love one another at this time.
In the meantime, plan to continue joining us for our Virtual Worship on Facebook Live at 10:30 am each Sunday.
We pray each of you are safe and healthy! Please continue to stay in touch with each other, assist those you can, lift each other up in prayer and be faithful by financially supporting FirstCoast MCC during this time.
