Community is at the heart of our church.
The mission of the church is to make obedient disciples of Jesus Christ who make disciples. Life groups are small communities in which people can connect with one another and God, where Jesus changes us to be like him and through which mission is carried out.
You are encouraged to get connected with a Life Group by emailing the contact person listed below for a particular Life Group or just showing up. Some groups have reached maximum capacity at this time. Also, during the summer & the month of December, some groups take breaks or meet sporadically. However, you may always email the leader of any group to double check their time and place of meeting. Please know that you are welcome in the FCCC community, and we want you connected!
In the descriptions below the location identified as “FCCC” is short hand for the church’s building located at 9419 Seatonville Rd. (We recognize that the church is not a building but needed a brief reference for direction since not all our Life Groups meet in the church’s building.)
