Home Groups

We Gather Together. We Live It Out Together.

Home Groups

A new way forward...

Following Jesus was never meant to be limited to an hour on Sunday morning.

At First Baptist Church, we believe the Christian life is meant to be lived in community—with believers knowing one another, caring for one another, growing in God's Word, using their gifts, serving others, and helping people encounter Jesus.

That's the vision behind Home Groups at FBC.

Home Groups are small communities of people gathering regularly in homes throughout our area to share life, grow as disciples, care for one another, and reach the people God has placed around them.

Sunday is when our church gathers together. Home Groups are one of the primary places where we learn to live as the church together.

More Than a Small Group

More Than a Small Group

A Home Group isn't simply another church program.

It's not another class to attend or another event to add to an already busy calendar.

It's a community.

Throughout the New Testament, the church is described as a body and a family. Christians are repeatedly called to love one another, encourage one another, pray for one another, serve one another, bear one another's burdens, and use their gifts to build one another up.

Those things are difficult to experience when our only interaction is sitting together in a large room once a week.

Home Groups create a smaller environment where those biblical relationships can grow.

A place where you can know others—and be known.

The Church Gathered The Church in Homes

From its earliest days, the church experienced both large gatherings and life together in homes.

“Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.”

Acts 2:46

Acts gives us a beautiful picture.

The believers gathered together publicly.

And they gathered personally in homes.

At FBC, we value both:

Sunday Gathering

We come together as one church family to worship Jesus, hear God's Word proclaimed, pray, celebrate what God is doing, and remember the mission He has given us.

Reminds us we're part of a larger body.

Home Groups

We gather in smaller communities where there is room for conversation, relationships, prayer, discipleship, ministry, hospitality, and mission.

Allows us to care for one another personally.
