I’M NEW

Welcome to Decatur Christian Fellowship!

If you are new to Decatur Christian Fellowship, welcome! We believe that everyone, regardless of whatever stage in life they are in, is valuable to God and to us. DCF has valued North Alabama for over 40 years. Our goal is to tell people about our good God, what He has, and what He can do. Also conveying who the enemy is, what he has, and what he can do. Likewise, telling the believer, who they are, what they have, and what they can do. We are a safe place to come as you are, find healing, and purpose, and join a community that cares for one another.

What to expect

Visiting a new church can be intimidating, and we want you to be prepared and comfortable. Here are the answers to some FAQ’s:

What should I wear?

We want you to be comfortable. People wear various styles, from jeans and t-shirts to dresses and suits. Regardless of how you dress, you will be welcomed here.

How long is service?

Our services consist of worship and a Spirit-filled message. Typically, services last an hour and a half.

How will new guests be treated?

You can expect to be treated the same way we treat everyone! DCF is overly friendly, so expect a few handshakes and hugs. However, we also respect that people often want to check things out. We welcome new guests, but won’t embarrass you. As a first-time visitor, we would like to give you a gift, so make sure to stop by Central Station.

What about my kids?

We offer free Biblical lessons for newborns to 6th grade, available during all of our services. We also have a teen ministry, called The Link, available to everyone in 7th-12th grade. Your children will be well taken care of by trained leaders who teach age-appropriate lessons. Your children are also welcome to join you in the service if you prefer.

Am I expected to give money?

We believe in the value of generous giving and make time each week to honor God with our finances during our services. However, your response to give is between you and Jesus. We will never pressure anyone to give. If you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
