First Christian Church Disciples

About this church

First Christian Church in Zanesville offers Christian education at 9:00 a.m. and worship at 10:00, with the service streamed online. The congregation describes itself as multigenerational and deliberately makes room for children in sanctuary worship through a dedicated children’s moment. Younger participants may also join Children Worship and Wonder or Following Jesus, services that mirror the movement of adult worship while giving children space to hear sacred stories, pray, listen, and respond.

A four-week Welcome to Worship program helps third- through fifth-graders transition into the sanctuary. Children learn to use a hymnal and pew Bible, follow the bulletin, listen to sermons, share Communion, and consider ways to participate. The course concludes with a Service of Inclusion in which children carry light into the church and the congregation celebrates their gifts. This carefully designed transition is more substantive than simply offering childcare: it treats children as members of the worshiping community and teaches them how its practices work.
