Ada First is currently exploring the theme "Be the Church" and rediscovering our call to live out our faith to build up the body of Christ and extend His love beyond our walls. To learn more about this sermon series and our current stewardship call, visit our Stewardship 2026 page.

All are welcome in person in our sanctuary each Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. You are also welcome to join us digitally via our Live Stream link above or on our Podcast. If you missed a worship service, check out the church's past services on the church's Youtube channel.

You are invited to browse the church's Facebook page for announcements and each Sunday we send a livestream to the Facebook page as well. Visit our Worship webpage where you will find additional information.

We want all to feel welcome and safe in our worship services. Some individuals may choose to wear a mask. Please respect their choice and be sensitive to those who prefer to wear masks.

It is time for us to place our orders for Poinsettias. Deadline is November 17, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Please use the link listed ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwQYrnxd-UasBTAI9THlVNU4tsDc-iScNH0SsmulGLYrPSyw/viewform )
Paper forms will also be available in the back of the sanctuary, if you do not want to place your order online. You may turn them into the church office before the deadline.

Our annual tradition of preparing and decorating for the Advent season will take place on Sunday, Nov. 23. Please plan to stick around after the worship service to decorate the church for the season (everyone is welcome…kids are great helpers for this!).
Also, if you are able to come on Friday, Nov. 21 from 10-11am, we can use help bringing the decorations up from the basement.

Come out and enjoy some fellowship on Sunday nights during Advent. We are hosting three Sunday events!
