Prayer Groups
Prayer Group at FCCNH meets Mondays at 9:30 a.m. and Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. If you feel a calling to pray for others, desire a more fulfilling prayer life and would like to commit to it, you are welcome.
The power of prayer is well known among Christians now throughout history.
Psalm 91:14-15 “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them.”
Prayer is a pathway to these things.
You may submit prayers of need or thanksgiving on blue/green/beige cards from Sunday services, call or e-mail the church office or send prayers through members of the prayer group or congregation members. You may put prayer cards in the prayer cabinet outside the office as well. Your prayers are kept confidential. We pray daily with you for the week you submit the prayer. The long heritage of FCCNH's Prayer Group has revealed the power of prayer through the many answers we have received, and we are ready to support you and/or your loved ones in prayer.

Retreats
Spirit of the Foothills: a Center for Spiritual Formation
A developing ministry of First Christian Church, Spirit of the Foothills seeks to serve individuals and groups in a retreat-like setting for prayer, meditation or events. Currently we offer monthly Labyrinth meditation walks, yoga classes and 6:00 am cardio-workout classes. We believe in the power of the Arts to transform lives and communities, and are developing courses for creative expression and spiritual growth. This includes theater, visual arts, dance and music. We are seeking funding to build a permanent outdoor labyrinth, which will be open to the community, and to offer courses in Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry.
We are located at 4459 Lowell Ave in La Crescenta, just below Foothill Boulevard, about ½ mile north of the #210 freeway. It is easily accessed from both the San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley and the greater Los Angeles areas. For more information or to use this space, contact Rev. Louise Sloan Goben through the church office 818-763-8218. Please visit our Facebook Page. Our web site is being developed as we speak!
Spirit of the Foothills shares space with the Los Angeles (Korean) Christian Church (Disciples of Christ.)
Disciples Women
Disciples Women, also known as Christian Women’s Fellowship (CWF), is what the name implies. It is Christian, it is Women and it is Fellowship. Every woman member of the church is automatically a member. CWF actively supports worldwide missions from contributions from its members at monthly meetings, bi-monthly meetings, candy sales, jewelry and bake sales during the year. There are bi-monthly luncheon meetings for all three groups in the Educational Annex. There are also meetings scheduled on Saturday and Sunday as well. These meetings are all daytime meetings. Notification of meetings is listed in the church calendar and weekly newsletters.
At present the CWF is separated into three groups.
- Groups 1 & 2 meet the second Thursday of the month in the daytime at the home of a group member.
- Group 3 meets the first Wednesday of the month at 7pm in the Youth Hut.
Advent Theater Group
First Christian Church North Hollywood is home to a flourishing theater company. Our church family is blessed with some outstanding professional talent from the entertainment industry and some of the finest and bravest amateur talents around. We are a non-profit entity, which supports the work of the church through the arts, bringing laughter, joy inspiration and consciousness to our church. Productions are usually performed twice a year, in the spring and in the fall.
Please visit our Advent Theater page for information on our current production.
Athletics
Fun and fellowship! It's as simple as that. This slogan was developed for the softball team "Fun and Fellowship on the Diamond." It's had such a lasting impact and describes the spirit that we carry into in each season that we're using it here. Each sporting endeavor becomes a place where one can feel encouraged and lifted-up in fun and with fellowship. We currently have a softball team which plays in the Valley Christian Athletic League and hold our Annual Turkey Shoot, a pre-thanksgiving day outing, on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. All events are coed and we encourage our church family to attend and to bring friends, as it is a great way to bond and to become acquainted with one another.
Please contact the church office or check the calendar for upcoming events.
Heritage Class
This is a six-week class especially designed for new church members or those who are contemplating church membership. It is also a good review class for long time members of our church family. Classes are held in the Fall & Spring. Please check the calendar for dates or contact the church office.
Creative Outlets
Please check our calendar for different classes that are offered throughout the year. These include Tai Chi, a Watercolor Class and Creative Memories scrapbooking.
