SMALL GROUPS consist of active members of First Baptist Church who meet regularly to learn, talk, laugh, eat, support, pray for one another, and grow spiritually. Our groups meet at least once a week in Zoom meetings or at the church in meeting the varying needs of diverse ages and life-stages. There is a small group for everyone in our First Baptist church family, and we hope you'll look into finding one that fits you below.
Use the contact information below to find a group for you, or for general information.
What are the benefits of joining a small group?
- Will have a sense of community, a place to belong. One of the most valued benefits is the many friendships that will be developed. Your fellow group members will be the people who will greet you with open arms, call, and pray for you during the week. You will feel more like a part of the FBC family, and enjoy serving and getting more involved in the church as a whole.
- You will grow in a deeper relationship with God and His word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Reading, studying, and discussing the scriptures will help you grow in knowing God and His Word. In our small group settings, you can be free to ask questions, participate in a discussion of the word, and hear others share insights and illustrations you are trying to grasp.
- Prayer will become more of a lifestyle to you. Many people are hesitant to pray in front of others, and even some don’t know how to pray. A simple conversation with God can open so many doors in your life. In a small group, you can learn to participate in prayer as we come together to seek and thank Him. No one is pressured to pray, but as you listen, learn, and become comfortable, you´ll become able to join in.
- You will receive encouragement, support, and accountability. Spiritual support is vital in the times we live in now. Our small group will help build those necessary foundations in your life to grow and thrive in your work, family, health, etc. Our small groups are built to have others stand beside you in times of crisis, change, and stress. You are not alone in life, even though the enemy would want you to believe that. Small groups are committed to standing with you and encouraging and supporting you in your walk with Christ. You will truly experience grace and grow in love in the context of a small group.
