Small Groups provide a unique opportunity to share faith and life with one another. Our experience with Small Groups over the last decade (and more) has shown us that real-life change best happens in the company of others where life-on-life support is naturally and spontaneously experienced. If you’re already involved in weekly worship, engaging in a Small Group is your next best step to a deeper connection with others in the church and continued growth in your relationship with God. Our Small Groups take place at various locations on and off-campus during the week. Most groups are multigenerational and the variety of group formats provides opportunities to learn and grow in different ways. We look forward to helping you find the right group, so submit your information through the form below and we’ll be in touch!
Small Groups: Session 1 2021
All groups will be VIRTUAL for this session starting Sunday, January 31 and ending Saturday, March 27.
- Bible Study – Faith Seeking Understanding: The Church and Social Issues by Boyd Lien
From the beginnings of our Reformed tradition, we realize God calls us to explore ways the Christian faith can be more fully known and expressed. This Bible Study is one way to open up to what it means to be Christians in the world today. This study engages the whole self. Our heads, hearts, and hands are drawn into the joys of discovering what new things God is calling us toward.
LIMITED NUMBER OF STUDY GUIDES AVAILABLE FROM THE FHPC CHURCH OFFICE OR ORDER YOUR STUDY GUIDE from The PC(USA) store - Book Group – What Is The Bible? by Rob Bell. NOTE: THIS IS A 2-SESSION STUDY! Winter (Session 1) and Fall (Session 3)
Whether you’ve read the Bible for years or you’re just getting started, Rob Bell goes deep into the Bible to show how it is more revelatory, revolutionary and relevant than we may ever have imagined—and offers a cogent argument for why we need to look at it in a fresh, new way. This first session of 2021 will cover Parts 1 & 2 while session 3 (in the Fall) will cover Parts 3 & 4. Don’t panic. The author’s style is engaging and very conversational. We’re taking our time to really study and absorb what he has to say.
ORDER YOUR BOOK from Amazon, Harper Collins – Publisher, Barnes & Noble or wherever you like to purchase.
