EQUIPPING PEOPLE THROUGH SMALL GROUPS

Hopefully you have heard of the life changing power of small groups and how we can help to support each other in our lives as followers of Christ. The Small Groups @ 1st aim to equip you with more tools and support for your faith journey. These groups of 12 people or less center around common interests and we hope to add more in the future.  These groups are in addition to various small study groups that come together throughout the year.  


Please look over the small groups we are starting with, then scroll down to let us know which group you want to be a part of.  If you don't see one made for you there's a place to check off that too.
