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!

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.
