"The Purpose of Christ
“ For many people the concept of Jesus and faith is somewhat mysterious. The idea that we believe in the whole story of a baby born of a virgin girl who then grew up to walk on water and perform miracles and then die on a cross and rise again to life—well we might seem a little cooky to claim it all. The whole story might seem like more than all the Christians and the doubters can explain. In the end we might just ask ourselves, what is the point? Why does any of it even matter to us? Why did Jesus have to come at all? This week at FCC we will explore together why it was important for Jesus to be Jesus for us. Come and see what Jesus has to say."

We hope that everyone will use good judgment and continue to respect those who prefer to keep their masks on and practice social distancing. We will still provide hand sanitizer at the entrances and a mask upon request. We encourage you to stay home when feeling ill and to join us for service on one of our online formats. We have appreciated your support during this challenging time.

Staff and/or participants may use such photographs or video records to recall activities or participants. In addition, such photographs and audio/visual recordings may be used in FCC Riverside's publication and marketing materials to let others know of our ministries, and/or streaming and website hosting of services.
By entering the church or event premises, you consent to photography, audio recording, video recording and its/their release, publication, exhibition, or reproduction to be used for live streaming, promotional purposes, inclusion on web sites, and/or any other purpose by FCC Riverside.
