TABLE GROUPS
First Church Tables are all about going on a journey together toward Jesus. In Table Groups we spend time with Jesus, getting to know Jesus. The result is we begin to look more like Jesus, so we can lead others to Jesus.
Your First Church Table will meet once each week at one of our campuses or in someone's home.
See you at the table!

Revelation is a letter of anticipation, encouragement, and hope for the promised return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This study of Revelation will challenge us how to live faithful lives and cultivate Christlike character while we wait in the meantime.

BENTON HEIGHTS TABLE GROUPS
THE BOOK OF HEBREWS
Hebrews stands out for its deep exploration of the superiority of Christ and His new covenant over the old covenant given through Moses. It is a book that bridges the Old Testament and the New Testament, offering insights into the continuity and fulfillment of God’s plan through Jesus Christ.
The primary purpose of Hebrews is to encourage believers to remain steadfast in their faith in Christ, despite persecution and trials. The author seeks to demonstrate that Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God, surpassing the prophets, angels, and even Moses, and that His sacrifice is the perfect and final atonement for sin.

MOLLY'S GROUP
A monthly support group for couples focused on journeying through the grief of pregnancy and/or infant loss. Led by Maddie and Joe Haydon, who experienced pregnancy loss in April of 2023.
We recognize that men and women grieve differently, and this group aims to dive into those differences in order to support couples who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. The loss of a pregnancy affects both the mother and the father in distinctly different ways, and we want this group to be a place to share resources and reflections on how to best support each other in a partnership when loss like this has the potential to easily tear us apart. No matter when the loss may have occurred, your baby and your story matters.
We are hoping to create a space where we can say what’s truly on our minds at this point in our pregnancy or infant loss journey, where we can pray together, meditate on God’s word, and know that we are not alone.
Sundays at the Saint Joseph Campus, Room 9
