Welcome to FCCS!
Nestled along Central Florida’s beautiful Suncoast, First Christian Church of Seminole is a non-denominational, Bible-teaching church presenting a positive message of hope and grace. Someone said that the purpose of the church is to introduce people to Jesus Christ and help the two of them get better acquainted.
That’s our desire at FCCS. We are a non-denominational fellowship of believers who seek to follow Jesus Christ and be identified by His name only. FCCS is a Bible-teaching church. We accept the Bible as God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters it addresses. We believe that people matter to God and that true meaning and happiness in life is found only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
We’re glad you stopped by our website. We hope any questions you have about our fellowship will be answered here. If not, please feel free to contact us via phone, fax, email or regular mail. Better yet, why don’t you plan to worship with us this Sunday? We’d love to have the opportunity to meet you in person!

The team is wrapping up our visit with Larry and Mandy Renfro in Malawi. Here are some pictures of our visit to the village of Mphanda. We worshipped with the congregation, enjoyed a traditional meal cooked by the women of the village, and then walked to see the two wells in the village. Then the leaders/preachers hiked over hilly terrain to visit with and pray over one of the Mphanda church leaders who was sick and was not able to be in worship that day. It was a wonderful experience for all and the villagers honored us with their hospitality.

AFRICA 2010, part 6
We spent the Lord’s day worshipping with the church in Mphanda. After service, the village women cooked us a traditional meal. We visited two of the water wells that the Renfros helped provide for the village. Then we spent the night at the Orphan Care site that Larry and Mandy operate in the village of Chidyamaani. This morning we had a special “going away” present. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so all I’ll say is, “Church, meet your new brother in Christ!” (His Chechewan name is “Gift”).

We spent the day at a Malawian village teaching a Leadership seminar for area church leaders. Some came from 4 hours away. Here is a slideshow of our day.
AFRICA 2010, part 4
Our first full day in Linlongwe, Malawi gave us some insight on the frustrations that missionaries often face in accomplishing the simplest tasks. Case in point: Larry needed to replace a broken seal on a water pump and ended up traveling to 9 different shops/stores around town before realizing that no one had what he needed. His best bet – although it is a long-shot – is to send his Malawian worker to the local market (think Wagon Wheel flea market) in hopes he can track down someone with the same parts from an old water pump.
Tomorrow (Saturday) we are conducting a leadership training seminar for local church leaders. Andy Brandt will be teaching on the Lord’s Supper, Jon Williams on personal evangelism, and I will be teaching on the importance of baptism. We would all appreciate your prayers.
