Creating a More Hopeful Future
We believe an active faith requires us to love our neighbors, addressing needs in our community and around the world. For over 120 years, members of First Christian Church of Edmond have responded to needs by developing new initiatives, and forging generative partnerships. Through the years we’ve formed a Child Care Center, a weekday food program called Breakfast on Boulevard, and joined with neighbors to establish Edmond’s HOPE Center. We are Here FOR Edmond and Here FOR Good! There is more good to be done. Join us!

Ida Freeman Elementary - Food Ministry
Help us ensure students in greatest need have food to prevent hunger each weekend during the school year. We receive donations of shelf-stable food items such as canned chicken, canned tuna, heat-and-eat rice pouches, canned black or pinto beans, Knorr’s noodle pouches, applesauce, and fruit cups.
Each week during the school year volunteers:
1) SHOP for fresh fruit for weekend meal kits & PACK weekend meal kits (Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday)
3) PICK UP Food Bank Bags from Ida Freeman and add to our weekend meal kits (Thursday mornings)
4) DELIVER food to students homes (porch drops - Thursday or Friday afternoons)

Serve Coffee - Join Our Brew Crew
Help us keep the coffee brewed and donuts ready! Serving as a coffee bar host is less than 2 hours on a Sunday morning. Choose dates and your preferred from our sign up list. Orientation provided. Come meet some great people!
Serve as a Greeter on Sundays
Serving as a greeter may seem like a small thing, but it makes a huge difference in the first impression we leave on our guests. Most greeters pick from one of three shifts, and serve one Sunday a month. Want to greet? Let us know.
Party & Event Hospitality Team
Do you love to throw a party? Our Hospitality team hosts receptions, brunches, and special events. Help with any of the following: plan menus, create décor, help decorate and set-up, buy supplies, prepare food, serve food, and clean-up. Let us know you’d like to help and we will get you plugged in.
A few of our local and global ministries:
Ida Freeman Elementary Partnership
Our partnership with Ida Freeman, a Title 1 elementary school, provides support to school, administrators, teachers, and students. We regularly provide food, classroom support, school supplies, host teacher appreciation events, and do on-site service projects.
Disciples4Water
Disciples4Water establishes, trains and supports local teams of water well drillers dedicated to providing clean water in the Democratic Republic of Congo. To date this initiative has drilled more than 70 wells in the DRC where we also support water-related healthcare, education and agriculture projects through direct funding and in-kind donations.
Breakfast on Boulevard
Since 1990 Breakfast on Boulevard has been serving free hot breakfasts and sack lunches on weekdays from 6:30am to 7:15am. Funded and staffed by donations and volunteers from across the Edmond community, Breakfast on Boulevard feeds the people of God with no questions asked.
We Are Better Together
