Our history
Christ's Church of Fountain Hills Begins

Christ's Church of Fountain Hills was founded by Pastor Donald Lawrence, our current Pastor, on May 6th, 1984. The church met in Suite One of the Enterprise Plaza with 22 founding members. After just a few months the church outgrew Suite One and began holding worship services and Sunday school next door in the old Presbyterian building on the corner of Enterprise and Panorama. Over the next several years the church leased more space in the plaza to accommodate the growth. Additional worship services were also added.
 

The Church Purchases Land and Builds

In October of 1989 the church entered into a contract with MCO Properties for the purchase of its location of 5 1/2 acres. Construction of the current "Fellowship/Classroom" building began in June of 1990. During the construction, the church held services and Sunday school at McDowell Mountain Elementary School. That building was occupied in February of 1991.
 

The Church Expands and Builds New Worship Facility

Steady growth has occurred ever since. An additional building was needed to facilitate the growth. Our new modern 400 seat worship facility was completed in August of 2001. God continues to bless Christ's Church of Fountain Hills through the people who attend this church.

 

Christ's Church is an independent, non-denominational church
Directed by The Board of Elders

1 Timothy 5:17 "It's the elders who direct the affairs of the church..."

Financed by the people of the Church

Malachi 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouses, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have enough room for it."

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.  Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
