Small Groups Ministry

          Have you been a "Christian" for many years and never participated in anything more than worship services and fellowship meals?

          Do you have a lot of aquaintances at Church, but not too many friends?

         Have you ever taken the time to know the family of God, participate in it's mission to reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus, and grow with God's people?

         Small Groups at FCC is where you need to be.

         Our present small group ministry focuses on adults of all ages and parents with young families.

          Our groups for adults of all ages is presently working through a Bible study from Henry Blackaby's book Experiencing God.  This study is not for the sake of study, but rather an opportunity for Christians to really get into each other's lives in a meaningful way so we can all begin to live beyond oursleves.

          Our parents with young families are gearing up in mid to late August.  They will be chosing topics for study related to parenting, marriage, and having young families.
