Community Groups
Living into God's story
The church is a group of people gathered together by God to participate in his community together.
At FPC, we often say that you are not really in the church unless you are in a community group. Some may be offended by that, but we believe it is true. The Bible says we are to love each other, pray for each other, encourage each other, and sometimes even to reprove one another. How can we do that, if we are not in face-to-face relationships? So we are always telling people to visit a couple of groups, find one that “fits” you, and then commit to it—whether you are here for three months or three years.
As a church, we are intentionally living into God's story and believe transformation takes place as we journey together. Community groups provide a place of connection. Groups of 6-12 people provide a place to build relationships, study Scripture, and serve one another and the city.
Below is a list of current groups. Scheduled meeting times occasionally change, so please get in touch or contact the group leader(s) before you visit a group. Groups are co-ed unless otherwise indicated.
