We are excited to take our 5th mission trip to Nicaragua this year!  During this trip, our team plans to serve the community in tangible ways. No construction experience is required! Specific dates are still yet to be determined, but we would love to know if you have ANY interest in being a part of this life-changing trip. If that's you, please plan to attend one of our upcoming interest meetings immediately following both our 9:15 and 10:45am services Sunday, March 8th in the Cafe. This meeting will only last around 30 minutes.

SAVE THE DATE! Our upcoming Date Night, organized by our COTFC Marriage Ministry, will be on Saturday, March 7th from 5-8PM!

We’ll start right here at the church at 5:00 PM for couples to drop off kids (if a sitter is needed!) and grab a date night idea before heading out! Yes, even if you don’t have kids or need childcare, still plan to meet!

Childcare will be provided here at The City House for just $5 per family. Dinner will be provided for your kiddos, so you can enjoy your night out knowing they are in good hands. Kids need to be picked up by 8PM.

This event is open to dating, engaged, and married couples, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

RSVP to let us know you’ll be joining us and whether or not you need childcare here: https://cotfc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/557/responses/new

Ladies, you’re invited to Coffee With The Girls, a NEW monthly gathering in the cafe on the first Saturday of every month. Included will be food and fellowship with ladies who want to walk passionately on purpose with Holy Spirit. Coffee shop doors open at 9am and breakfast treats and coffee are ready at 9:30! From 10:00-11:00, we will engage in worship and prayer, share testimonies, and be encouraged and equipped with a message shared by Elaine Hart. Bring a breakfast item to share if you can! Drip coffee and water will be provided, and specialty coffee drinks will be available for purchase. Let's come together to begin our month with Jesus and one another! Bring your bible and a friend!  

*Ladies over 16 years old only. We’re sorry, children are not part of this ladies' gathering so that we can all be fully present. No childcare is provided at this time.

On Sunday, March 1st, our Youth will be selling "The World's Greatest Donut" before services! Cost will be 1 for $10 or 2 for $15. We want to make sure every student who wants to go to camp can attend, so these funds will go towards lowering the cost of every registration, help with transportation, and even help with scholarships! Swing by in the lobby and let’s help give the experience of an unforgettable week of camp.

Our Small Group Fair will be following each service on Sunday, February 15th where you will be able to meet different leaders and find a group that is best for you. All groups will be featured on our website at that time. Our small-group environments are designed to help you explore your relationship with Jesus, develop your faith in Jesus, and influence those around you for Jesus. We hope that you will choose a group, sign up online, and show up! 

Did you know that you are God's unique masterpiece? We all have gifts, passions, and stories that intersect to show us how we can play a big part in a movement of people transformed by God's grace and power. The world needs you to Find Your Place!

This group meets for four consecutive Sundays during our 9:15 AM service time. We will help you identify and start to develop what God has already given you!

Join us on Sunday, December 28th at 7pm, here at The City House for a worship night to close out 2025! This will be a powerful night as we set aside extended time to seek the presence of God together as a church family and community.

*Childcare will not be available but families are welcome to join us in worship!

There will be NO regular morning services on Sunday, December 28th! Enjoy the slow pace with your family on the Sunday morning after Christmas and make plans to join us that evening for a special year-end Worship Night at 7pm!

We'd love for you and your family to join us on Christmas Eve at 4:00PM! This is one of our favorite services of the year as we come together to celebrate the birth of our Savior with music, the Word of God, and the tradition of singing carols by candlelight. Childcare will be provided for babies and preschoolers.

On Sunday, December 21st will be our Family Christmas Sunday! Many of our youth, elementary, and preschool kids are working hard preparing for this awesome day. This will be a family service, so there will be no kids’ classes offered that day. Join us at 9:15 or 10:45 and invite the whole family!

This November, we're introducing what we believe will be a new favorite tradition here at COTFC: our First Gift offering. The Sunday before Thanksgiving, before we enter into the Holiday season and give or receive from anyone else materially, we're going to give our first gifts to God. We have SO many things to be thankful for as a church family, and hope you'll join us in worship together on November 23rd, by giving God above and beyond our normal tithes. There is no pressure to participate, nor is there a specific amount you should give. Our heart is that we could all desire to match God's generous heart towards us by being generous in our offerings back to Him. So, mark your calendar today for our First Gift Offering on November 23rd, and let's keep God our first priority this holiday season!

The Financial Learning Experience [FLE] is an exciting two-hour equipping event taught by Joseph Sangl. This event is high energy, inspirational, and full of highly practical tips for individuals.

The FLE was developed from Joseph Sangl’s book, "I Was Broke. Now I’m Not.", and has equipped people to accomplish far more than they ever thought possible with their personal finances.

Recent studies have shown that 70% of people are living paycheck-to-paycheck. Our goal is to significantly lower this number by teaching people how to manage the resources that God has given them. Prepare to be challenged and prepare to leave this event changed!

Date: September 28th

Time: 1-3pm

Where: The City House Auditorium

FLE topics include:

- Plan for living a life of purpose on purpose

- How to have a plan for one’s life

- Budgeting (interactive with entire audience)

- Strategies to reduce and eliminate debt

- How to calculate debt freedom date

- How to calculate the actual cost of debt

- How to calculate the amount needed to retire

- The power of compound interest

- Money saving ideas and tips
