MEETING YOU, RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE…
—
At FPC, we envision every member finding opportunities to GROW in relationship with God and in fellowship with others, and the best place to do this is within group settings. We offer a variety of adult ministry groups that foster community and spiritual growth.
LIFE GROUPS
Life Groups are a vital part of church membership! Joining a Life Group is a fantastic way to connect with others in our congregation while seeking to grow in our faith. Over the course of the school year (Fall and Spring semesters), Life Groups (typically consisting of 8-10 individuals—both couples and singles) meet twice a month in members’ homes at a scheduled time which best fits each individual group. Upon sign-up, your group leader will reach out to identify the best day and time for all group members. We hope you will join a Life Group!
