First Christian Church of Punta Gorda

About this church

First Christian Church of Punta Gorda begins Sunday Bible study at 9:30 a.m. and worship at 10:30 at 4124 Taylor Road. A Wednesday Bible study meets from 11:00 a.m. to noon. The congregation presents worship as an uplifting, Christ-centered encounter with God, while its minister describes sermons as grounded in Scripture and directed toward faithful service. The church’s mission focuses on studying the God revealed in Scripture and the grace, mercy, and love found in Jesus Christ.

The official history gives this congregation a distinctly local story. Its first Bible studies and services were held in a home, and the church was formally organized during morning worship on March 14, 1976, using a municipal trailer-park community building as temporary quarters. The current building was dedicated on December 7, 1980. Today, the church lists the Harry Chapin Food Bank among its ministries and uses its facilities for Bible study, fellowship, and monthly potluck meals. Visitors can therefore expect a compact weekly schedule, Scripture-focused teaching, a congregation established in Punta Gorda since the 1970s, and an ongoing connection to local food assistance.
