ADULT MINISTRIES

BEING THE CHURCH TOGETHER THROUGH SMALL GROUPS, ACT II COMMUNITIES & BIBLE STUDY GROUPS

BIBLE STUDY GROUPS

ACT II COMMUNITIES

SUNDAYS AFTER WORSHIP - RESUMES SEPTEMBER 15

If worship is “Act I” of our Sunday time together as a church, then what comes next is “Act II.”  Immediately after worship, we make our way into a variety of intentionally smaller and more relational communities.  We call these “Act II Communities.”  Below are options we are currently offering for adults. These that are designed for a variety of learning styles and relational needs. Our great hope is that you will find yourself in one of these settings and that your faith will grow and your sense of belonging and being known will be affirmed. For kids, and the adults who are coming alongside them, we have LAUNCH: FPC Kids Community during Act II. They meet in the Lower Level East Wing of our building. High Schoolers meet in the Brick Room. Middle Schoolers meet in the Westminster Room. Nursery care, for birth-2years, is available on the main level.

Online Bible Lessons

Gospel According to John

This in depth look at the Gospel was taught by historian and biblical scholar, Bruce Gore recently at FPC. You can watch video lessons by Bruce on YouTube at this LINK.

IMAGINE DEEPER PRAYER

Link to Prayer Resources / Definitions / Encouragement

These resources help us experience contemplative, imaginative prayer that can help us open our hearts in new, refreshing ways and challenge us to encounter God in all things, witnessing to the joy of the Gospel.

SMALL GROUPS

If you are interested in being part of a group, please let us know: email Brenda.

Some groups use the Sermon-based Discussion Guides. These are based on the scripture text and sermon from Sundays. They include scripture references and questions for reflection and discussion.
