Get Involved

First Church of Christ has many opportunities for group activities and small group ministries. All groups provide education, fellowship, spiritual and service components, but each emphasizes one or more of these elements. Ministering to one another through sharing of common interests, personal faith and caring.

**You may sign up for any of these groups by submitting the form below.

 Small groups provide support and encouragement through Koinonia, a life-sharing experience - an in-depth connection with Christ and one another. Small groups are Biblical - Jesus formed a small group of twelve. 

" And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds,"
 -- Hebrews 10:24
