Discipleship Groups
Biblical teaching | Fellowship | prayer
Spiritual growth happens best when we personalize it with others in smaller settings. We want to help you grow spiritually, connect with God, and connect with others. A great way is in Discipleship Groups.
Connect with other people around a spiritual topic. Groups focus on devotion to the apostles’ teaching, prayer, and other spiritually-related practices. Think Bible studies, prayer groups, and accountability groups. It's our way of fostering Acts 2 community.
How do I Join?
It's easy. Just find a group you like and check it out. Every group is ready to welcome you. Reach out to the leader for more information. And if it's at FOF, just show on the day and time they meet!
Groups
Sundays
Christianity in Context
What did those first Christians believe? What issues were they facing? How did they worship? How did they do church? These questions aren't mysteries. We'll take you through writings of Christians through the centuries so you can see first-hand how other believers have learned to follow Jesus, and how pertinent it still is today.
