Valdosta, GA
​
At First Christian Church of Valdosta we are a family. And like all families we like to celebrate and lift up the special moments in the life of our members.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us "There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under the heavens". We celebrate your life and every birth, for God created you. We celebrate your engagement and marriage, for God joined you to form one. We celebrate your baptism, for you are born into the Spirit. We celebrate the milestones of graduation, for God has plans for you and we are excited to see and be a part of that journey. We celebrate when you join our FCCV family, for we have the chance to learn and grow in our faith together as we break bread together. We celebrate for a life well lived and for the blessing of having known and learned from you once your earthly journey is complete.
Jeremiah 1:5
​
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
We would like to wish you the happiest of birthdays! May your day be blessed with love, family, friends and all that is special. We hope you have a wonderful day today!

"for all of you who were baptized into Christ
have clothed yourselves with Christ."
Galatians 3:27
At First Christian Church believe in baptism by submersion. Romans 6:4 tells us " We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
We rejoice in the baptism of an individual as they are born again in Christ. If you are interested in being baptized our waters are open to you! You do not need to be a member of our church. You do not have to join our congregation. We are here to help you in your journey of faith. If you have questions about baptism, we are here to help answer those questions for you. If you would like to speak to our Senior Minister, John Chick regarding baptism, please call 229-244-1742 (church office) or 229-292-6879 (Cell Phone).
Welcome to your new life in Christ!

"Whatever you do, work heartily,
