FPC

First Groups

First Groups at First Presbyterian are places to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and walk through life together. In these small communities, we encourage one another, share in God’s Word, and find belonging as part of Christ’s family.

What are First Groups?

Life-giving groups where friends grow in faith and walk through life together.

Community Connection

A vibrant space to foster deep connections and build lasting friendships within our community. These groups meet regularly in various locations, making it easy to find a supportive circle where you can share life’s highs and lows.

Spiritual Growth

Engage in meaningful discussions, study scripture, and explore faith in a relaxed and supportive setting. First Groups are designed to encourage personal and spiritual development, helping members navigate life’s challenges.

Service Opportunities

First Groups aren’t just about fellowship; they’re also a hub for community service. Each group can volunteer for projects that make a tangible difference, from local clean-ups to helping those in need, allowing members to put their faith into action.

Community
YOU CAN COUNT ON

In our First Groups, you'll find a welcoming and supportive community that you can count on. Connect with others, grow in your faith, and experience authentic relationships as we journey together toward a deeper understanding of God's love.
