What does it take to thrive in a fragmented world? At First Christian Church Edmond we believe it begins with curiosity, compassion, and community.

Join us on Sunday mornings this summer for THRIVE: Conversations for the Common Good. This weekly forum with local leaders, parents, mental health professionals, and nonprofit partners will offer practical insights on how people are thriving today.

From backyard gardens to food security, aging well to raising resilient kids, you’ll hear inspiring perspectives that nurture both personal and community well-being.

Come be a part of these spacious, soul-nourishing conversations exploring the many facets of thriving! Sundays at 10AM in Fellowship Hall-North.

We begin June 1 by sharing details of our full summer lineup of topics and speakers. Then we'll hear inspiring reflections from people who have participated in our International Affairs Seminar (IAS) over the years. They will share their perspectives on this transformative learning journey.

Every two years, a few of our High School juniors and seniors travel to Washington D.C. and New York City for IAS, meeting with policymakers, nonprofit leaders, and advocates and engage critical issues. They return home with broader perspectives, deeper compassion, and a clearer sense of how faith and justice can lead to meaningful action.

Immediately following our conversation, we'll have our IAS Bean Dinner from 11AM to 1PM. This fundraiser will directly support future students' participation in IAS. We will be serving beans, cornbread, and mac & cheese along with desserts. Plus we will have gluten free options! Your generosity helps nurture leaders who will carry these lessons forward long after the trip ends.

Open tables. Bold questions. Love in action. This is what it means to thrive!
