First Christian Church

105 West Broadway Street - Brook, Indiana 47922


Sunday's morning worship will be at 10:00 a.m. each Sunday.  Regardless of the weather, we will be here and our worship services will not be cancelled. You make the decision as to whether or not you feel save venturing out. The service is open for all who would like to attend.  We will be continuing are series of sermons -- "Disciplemakers: Prayer and Practice" -- on Sunday, July 10 - "Not Out, but From."  Then we will look at "Both With, and Sent;" "Not Divided, but United;" and "Not a Task, but 'the Way'." Join us in-person or on-line as we continue to stream the services live on Facebook with the Prelude beginning at about 9:50 a.m..  Many have chosen to join with us in worship by means of these 'live' broadcasts.

NOTE -- On Sunday mornings, we now have a Sunday School class at 9:00 a.m. for our youth. There is already an adult class that meets each week.


The Wednesday Bible Study and Meal will resume in late August.


Chauncey and Jessie

We want you to know that we joined First Christian Church with a desire to serve not only the members of the church, but also the community.  Jessie and I have been married over twenty years.  During that time we have come to realize that ministry is something we do together.  We are here to serve you, but we can only do that if you are willing to let us know what is needed and how we can work together.   


For your information:

Chauncey began his ministerial studies at Lincoln Christian College.  He received the B.A. degree in Christian Education in 1975.  He continued his education at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Louisville, KY), being awarded the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) in 1978, Chauncey stayed an additional year to pursue graduate studies in the areas of Christian Ethics and New Testament Theology and is in the process of completing his Th.M. in Biblical Studies.

Several years later, while teaching for the Jefferson County Public Schools (1997-2004), Chauncey attended Indiana University S.E. (New Albany, IN).  It was there the M.S. in Education was completed (May 2005).

Returning to Lincoln Christian University in 2007, Chauncey was a part of the first cohort in their newly accredited doctoral program.  He was granted the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) in Church and Parachurch Leadership (May 2011). His doctoral project is titled “Leading Through Adaptive Change: Moving Conceptually from a ‘Membership’ to a ‘Mission’ Paradigm.”  A second area of doctoral work was completed by means of a post-doctoral residency in Spiritual Formation (2012-2013).

Chauncey has served as a youth minister, an associate minister, and as the lead minister in congregations located in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois.  He is a member of Spiritual Directors International (S.D.I.) and the Evangelical Spiritual Directors Association (E.S.D.A.).  Chauncey has taught at The College of the Scriptures (Louisville) and, most recently, with the Institute of Biblical Studies of Monterrey (Monterrey, Mexico).
