Personal and Family Enrichment

In the Adult Ministries area you will find small group opportunities designed to enrich our personal and family lives. We offer a diverse and changing program of special interest educational opportunities and invite you to explore these opportunities for small group interaction and study.

Here are some of the ministries offered at First Church:

Man Alive! is a new weekly men’s ministry for those men seeking what it means to truly succeed in life. This is not a Bible Study. It is not an accountability group. It is not a time for “mature” Christians to gather and share deep things of faith. Man Alive is an opportunity for men to get together to focus on men’s issues of life in practical ways that appeal to men. This group meets for 8 weeks in the Spring and 8 weeks in the Fall.
