We are in transition. Of course that's an understatement. Hobart First Christian Church will be closing its doors on June 30. Our final worship service will be June 28 at 10:30 a.m. It will be a bittersweet moment, saying good-bye to a 96-year old friend. There have been hundreds of lives touched and change by HFCC throught since 1914. But as circumstances and the lifecycle of churches follow their courses, the viability of Hobart First Christian Church declined. But GOD IS GOOD! Through the wisdom of godly people, the congregation has decided to re-start. We are becoming a brand new church. The projected start date will be sometime in the early fall of 2010.

It seems like a long way off. But in reality, the timeframe is fairly short. There is much work to be done as we put together all the "nuts and bolts" of transition and preparation. The gestation period for giving birth to a new church is somewhere between that of a baby (9 months) and an elephant (24 months). We are seeking several things right now. 1) We are looking for prayer partners who will lift up Lakeside before God; 2) We are looking for core group members who will join with us as we spend the next 13 months in preparation and training; 3) We are looking for ministry partners who will financially support us for the next 3 years (at which time we will be self-supporting). If you would be any or all of these three things, please contact us through the guest book on the website or contact me via email. s.campbell@hobartfcc.org
