First Step

New to Worthington Christian Church? Join Us for ’First Step’!

We believe the church is more than a place to attend on the weekend. It’s where community forms, lives are changed, and people encounter Jesus. We want you to feel like you belong here. That’s why we created "First Step."

During First Step, you’ll meet our team, hear the vision behind our church, and discover ways to move from attending to belonging—whether that’s joining a group, getting baptized, or serving alongside others.

📅 Mark Your Calendar:

Join us on Sunday, August 16, at 9:00 AM for ’First Step’! This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who is new (or mostly new) to our church family.

👥 What to Expect:

Led by Outreach Minister Jay Scott, this event offers a relaxed atmosphere where you can ask honest questions and engage in meaningful discussions. Whether you’re exploring faith or looking to connect with others, you’ll find a warm welcome here!

Parents, please feel free to utilize Kids Ministry programming if necessary.

RSVP Today!
