Groups

You don’t have to do life alone! We were made for community and at First Christian Church, we believe that WE are better than ME. From the very beginning, Jesus designed the Church to be more than just a place, it’s a people walking through life together. None of us were meant to follow Jesus alone.



The Group Semester will start on the week of Sunday, September 20th


Growth Groups are groups of people that meet together around a specific bible study or topic. Most of our groups meet on a semester basis.


Community Groups are groups of people that meet together around a shared interest or activity. Community Groups vary in how often they meet and what length of time they meet.
