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.

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!

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. There's a writing as old as the New Testament called "The Didache," which means "the teaching." It's a first-century manual on how to teach pagans the way of Jesus. We'll take you through it so you can see first-hand how they learned to follow Jesus, and how pertinent it still is today.
