Our Ministries
At First Christian Church, we focus on serving the community and promoting spiritual growth through service.
FCC's "Street-side" Food Pantry
Pastor Dan White was moved to begin a ministry to the people of our church's Berryville neighborhood. The congregation fully supported his vision, and our "street-side" food pantry was born.
Food and monetary donations for food come from the congregation, and the pantry is replenished daily. Many come to sustain themselves and their families whose needs are great.
Loaves & Fishes Food Bank
of the Ozarks
Several in our congretation contribute their time to the Loaves & Fishes Food Bank in Berryville. Established in 1986, Loaves & Fishes Food Bank of the Ozarks has served the food needs of hundreds of families in Carroll County. First Christian Church member volunteers have participated for all those many years. Robb McDaniel also serves on the Board of Directors.

"Disaster Buckets" donated to Regional DOC Office
First Christian Church came together to assemble "Disaster Buckets" that were specially decorated for the holidays, to be added to the collection located at the regional headquarters in Little Rock.
These buckets are equipped with necessities required as a result of disastrous weather events in our geographic region.
