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!

WOMEN AT FIRST CHURCH
MISSING PIECES by Jennifer Rothschild
Why does God feel distant? Why are my prayers unanswered? If you’ve ever wrestled with these questions, Missing Pieces by Jennifer Rothschild is the study for you.
In this realistic and honest exploration of faith, Jennifer tackles the messy, mysterious uncertainties we often face when God’s ways don’t seem to make sense. Through Scripture, reflection, and discussion, you’ll discover that even when life feels incomplete, God is trustworthy, present, and working in ways we may not yet see.
Join us as we seek deeper faith, real hope, and a closer relationship with God—even in the midst of life’s missing pieces.
TRUSTWORTHY by Lysa Terkeurst
When life feels uncertain, can we really trust God?
In this 6-session study of 1 & 2 Kings, Lysa TerKeurst takes us on a journey through Israel, exploring the struggles of biblical leaders who, like us, wrestled with trust. With honest reflection on her own faith journey, Lysa reveals the places of distrust in our hearts and helps us uncover deeply applicable truths about surrendering control and fully relying on God.
Through engaging video teachings, Scripture study, and group discussion, Trustworthy will equip you to release fear, deepen your faith, and develop a heart that truly trusts in God’s plan—even when life feels uncertain.
Join us as we discover what it means to trust God in every season!

This men’s gathering will be at the St. Joe Campus.
What does it truly mean to follow Jesus?
In The Jesus Manifesto, we will take an in-depth journey through the Sermon on the Mount—Jesus’ most powerful and countercultural teaching on what it means to live as His disciple.
Through this study, we will explore:
📖 The Beatitudes – A roadmap to true blessing and kingdom living.
🙏 Radical Faith – How Jesus calls us to a deeper, more authentic relationship with God.
❤️ Kingdom Values – Living out love, mercy, forgiveness, and righteousness in a broken world.
🏗 A Firm Foundation – Building a life that withstands life’s storms by following Jesus’ words.
CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE by RICHARD J FOSTER
Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration bring us nearer to one another and to God.
Wednesday Evenings 6:30 – 8:00pm at the St. Joe Campus. Led by Jon Oldham.

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.

WOMEN OF THE WORD by Jen Wilkin
We all know it’s important to study God’s word. But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. What’s more, a lack of time, emotionally driven approaches, and past frustrations can erode our resolve to keep growing in our knowledge of Scripture. How can we, as Christian women, keep our focus and sustain our passion when reading the Bible?
Women of the Word has helped countless women with a clear and concise plan they can use every time they open their Bible. This book will equip you to engage God’s word in a way that trains your mind and transforms your heart.
