TABLE GROUPS
Find your place to connect today.
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!

Armor of God
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny.
But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.
The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer’s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.
John
You can know a lot about Jesus and not know him at all.
We’re not meant to simply know a lot of facts about Jesus. Truly knowing someone requires personal knowledge coming from being with someone over time and building trust. Knowing about someone is just the first step toward truly knowing them. It’s the same with God: we come to know Him personally when we spend time with Him, when we build trust in Him, when we share our life with Him.
Join Megan Fate Marshman in this eight-week invitation to respond to and really get to know Jesus in a personal and intimate way. This study through the Gospel of John will focus on dissecting His seven “I Am” statements, where we come to learn what Jesus wants us to know most about His character and love for us.

MOLLY'S GROUP
A 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.
