First Christian Church

103 West Broadway Street - Brook, Indiana 47922

-- Sunday morning worship is open for all who would like to attend. We will continue to stream on Facebook Live. Many have chosen to join with us in worship by means of these 'live' broadcasts, so we will continue to provide this optional format.

-- "Adult Bible Study and Prayer" has resumed. We are studying the New Testament book Acts at the present time. Join with us for a meal at 6:30 p.m., with prayer and study to follow at 7:00 p.m. The next Bible Study will be Wednesday, September 2nd. Hope you will join us then!

**ATTENTION - Our youth program is on HOLD! As long as South Newton is not having in-class school, we will not be meeting in-face in support of their decision. Look for items being delivered.

When we are able or resume, we are inviting youth of all ages - toddler through High School. We meet on Sunday afternoon, beginning with a small meal at 5:30 p.m. and concluding by 7:00 p.m.

Thanksgiving Meals are being prepared this Thursday. You can dine in with plenty of room to spread out or you can ask for a take out (as long as the food lasts). Donations are accepted.

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.

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).
