NEXT BAPTISM CELEBRATION JUNE 20 & 21
Baptism is a celebration. It is an opportunity to follow Jesus’ example and teaching by publicly proclaiming our identification with him. By being baptized, we announce that Jesus has washed away our sin and has given us new life. We will celebrate baptism during weekend services on June 20 and 21.
Prior to baptism, participants must attend a one-hour class designed to share the biblical purpose of baptism, to help you discern if baptism is the right step for you.
Upcoming Classes:
May 31 at 12:30pm
June 7 at 12:30pm
June 13 at 6:30pm
June 14 at 12:30pm

MAY 31 | MONTHLY PRAYER GATHERING
Where have you been hoping for a breakthrough? Health issue, wayward child, stubborn addiction, struggling marriage?
BreakTHRU prayer gatherings are all-campus events at the St. Charles/South Elgin Campus on the last Sunday evening (6-8pm) of each month. These BreakTHRU prayer gatherings are unlike anything we’ve ever planned here at Christ Community. The time is divided into four 30-minute segments. The first and last half-hour are optional. The Auditorium will be open for personal prayer and worship. Sit, kneel, or pace the rows on your own as you pray. The pastors and elders of our six campuses will also be available to pray FOR you. But the middle hour–6:30-7:30–is the core of the evening. There will be a 30-minute training on a specific breakthrough topic, followed by 30 minutes of focused, small-group prayer on that topic. No registration required!
Some of the topics we'll be covering over coming months include: How to pray for our children, how to pray for healing, why prayers go unanswered, and what to pray for our country/government.
