Kingdom At Work

Kingdom At Work is a men’s group for ages 18-99 who want to live out their faith where it matters most: at home, on the job, and in everyday.  This group is a place to build authentic brotherhood, study God’s Word, and encourage one another to honor Christ through our work, leadership, and character.

We meet weekly to grow spiritually, pray together, and challenge each other to be faithful disciples in a practical, real-world way.  Our goal isn’t just to gather – but to multiply:  raising up men who are equipped to share the Gospel, disciple others, and spread the Kingdom of God in their workplaces, families, and communities.  Whether you’re just starting your walk with Christ or have been following Him for years, Kingdom at Work is a place to grow and belong.

Sisterhood Queens

Sisterhood Queens is a Life Group for women who desire to grow as wives, mothers, and daughters of the King. Together, we’ll encourage one another to live out God’s design for our homes—striving to be a blessing and strength to our husbands, as Proverbs 12:4 reminds us that a wife of noble character is the crown of her husband.

We’ll also support one another in the sacred calling of motherhood, seeking wisdom and grace as we raise our children in faith and purpose, following the truth of Proverbs 22:6. Through prayer, Scripture, honest conversation, and sisterhood, this group is a place to be encouraged, equipped, and reminded that we don’t walk this journey alone.

Come as you are—crowned by Christ, growing together, and building homes rooted in love and truth. 👑🤍

Welcome!  We try to focus our group on biblical ways to become a more Godly man, and how we can become better providers and leaders for our families and others around us.  The word “Forged” comes from Proverbs 27:17 — “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend”.  Our average night usually consists of sharing a meal, then watching a video series from RightNow Media.  We then have a discussion about the topics that were covered in the video.  Our group is mainly outdoorsy young men ages 25-35, but we do have some members much younger and older.  Unfortunately we do not currently have any form of childcare.  Thank you for taking a look at our group.  We are always welcoming and thankful for new members.

His Work in Progress

ENEMIES OF THE SOUL

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.” Hebrews 12:1

We will be focusing very much on the internal enemies of the soul. Those things that lie deep within us that are still part of the fabric of our life and rise up to try to spoil and stifle the very life of Christ within us.

In this discipleship course, the goal is to help you so you can help others identify these enemies and learn how to deal with them more effectively.

Here are the areas we will cover over the coming weeks:
•    Bitterness
•    Friendship with the world
•    Love of power
•    Self
•    Greed
•    Gossip
•    Jealousy
•    Fear
•    Laziness
•    Pleasing others
•    Pride
•    Irritability and anger
•    Sexual sin
•    Unbelief

Hope Beyond Heartache

This group is for mothers who have faced the heartbreaking loss of a child — whether recently or many years ago.  Here, you’ll find a safe and compassionate space to connect with others who truly understand this kind of grief.  You’re welcome to share your story whenever you’re ready;  there’s no pressure.

You don’t have to walk this road alone.  Together, we’ll grieve, support one another, and take steps toward healing through faith and community.  We’ll be walking through Hope by Nancy Guthrie — a faith-based book offering comfort, understanding, and biblical perspective in the midst of unimaginable loss.

Molly’s Life Group

At our meetings, we gather in my great room to visit, pray, watch the video that goes with the chapter, and discuss it.   No pressure to talk at our meetings.  You can totally just sit and listen.  And, if you’re not a reader don’t let that stop you from joining our group.  We’d still love to have you and you can just watch the video with us.  We all take turns bringing a dessert to be enjoyed by all after the meeting.  That always seems to happen in the kitchen.

Heaven, When Faith Becomes Sight is the new book we’re starting June 26th.  The link to purchase the book is below.  If you don’t want to get the book, that is fine.  You can just come to our meetings and watch the video.

The Iron Club (Proverbs 27:17)

As Iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.  (Proverbs 27:17)

We are a motley bunch of adults.  Some of us still have small children in the house, some of us still have adult children living in the house (sigh), some of us are grandparents (awesome)!  So, as you can see, just about anybody would be a good fit in our group.  We like to meet on Sunday after the first service because it fits into our schedule and those with kids are able to drop them off at First Kids.

Our Sisterhood Era

Hello ladies, prepare to be in your SISTERHOOD ERA!!! Being a young woman in this era (high school & college) is a challenge that should not be faced alone! I will be leading a Sisterhood Group for women in their early-twenties. My goal for this group is for young women to develop a strong relationship with Jesus. Discuss topics like: body image, anxiety, and sisterhood just to name a few 😉. Sisterhood might sound familiar, right? First Church for the past couple years has hosted Sisterhood events in order to bring women of the community together and hear a biblical message that pertains to their life! My wish is that many young women will walk away with lasting friendships built on the foundation of Jesus!

✨I hope you’re as excited about this group as I am! The definition of “sisterhood” is as follows: a relationship between sisters, or a community of women linked by a common interest. Our interest: “Jesus” . I want this group to be a ✨SISTERHOOD✨, not just because that is our title. I want you to get more than just deep discussions out of this group, but find a community where you can lean on Jesus together now and lead others in the future to Jesus!

Best,

Kaitlyn💕
