Parking information

parking at the church on sundays

We have a parking lot with several spots available for parking on Sunday mornings. The parking lot sits directly behind the building with entrances on both 9th & 10th street. On Sunday mornings, the entire lot is reserved for the church (with the exception of six rental spots designated on the map below, near the 10th street entrance).

Accessible parking spaces are available on the west side of the building, near the playground and the kitchen entrance.

parking at the church during the week

During the week, a portion of the church parking lot is rented out to Boone County employees. While church members and visitors are welcome to park at the church during the week, we advise everyone to park in parking spots marked for "First Christian Church".

The spots reserved for Boone County are marked in the diagram on the right in yellow and the spots reserved for Church Parking are marked in
 green.

All unidentified cars in the church lot are at risk of towing or ticketing by church staff at any time. Members and friends of the church are encouraged to pick up a sticker in the Church Office to place on or in the dashboard of their car to indicate they are a member or friend of the church to avoid ticketing and towing. 

renting parking spots at the church

First Christian Church is centrally located for any downtown renters or employees, and a short walk from any of Columbia's three downtown campuses. We have six designated rental spots in our parking lot for students, residents, or working professionals looking to reserve downtown parking.  To inquire about parking spaces, please contact the Church Office at fcc@firstchristian.org.

The six rental spots are indicated in the diagram on the right, directly next to the tenth street entrance and facing Bethany Hall. These spots are reserved for lessees. Anyone parking here who is not leasing a spot from the church is at risk of being towed, church members included.
