"Not a Fan" | Mondays, Apr. 6 - May 18 | 7 pm

Jesus was never interested in having admirers. It's not fans he is looking for. "Not a Fan" by Kyle Idelman challenges you to consider what it really means to call yourself a Christian. With a direct frankness that you're not likely to hear in Sunday school class, Kyle invites you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus. His call to follow may seem radical to us, but Jesus desires it for every believer. For more info, contact Kathy Smith at

VIRTUAL EVENT TECHNOLOGY
ZOOM Rooms
ZOOM is a cloud-based, video conferencing platform that can be used for video conferencing, audio conferencing, webinars, meeting recordings, and live chat. This is how we're going to stay connected! ZOOM meetings allow people in different locations to see and talk with one another. To attend a ZOOM meeting, click on the link provided by the group leader. You'll be prompted to download ZOOM Cloud Meetings. Either accept and install the software or use the instructions to call into the meeting.
A ZOOM app can also be installed on your phone. Go to the app store on your phone or https://zoom.us/download. From the download center, click on the download button under "Zoom Client For Meetings". This application will automatically download when you start your first Zoom Meeting.
New Zoom standards were implemented by Zoom and all Zoom room meetings will require a password. When entering into an FCC-JC Zoom program, the password is 423232.
It really is that easy! But just in case you need help,
call (423) 232-5700 and we'll walk you through it.
Livestream
Livestream is the ability to see a live transmission of an event over the Internet. This is what allows us to worship together. Go to fcc-jc.org/livestream and watch either through the FCC ONLINE COMMUNITY or FACEBOOK LIVE. We recommend trying Facebook Livestream for the best experience. And again, contact us at (423) 232-5700 if you need assistance in connecting.
