Get Connected
When you think about church, it is easy to focus on the worship service. While a church service is usually the first experience people have with a church, at Faith First we hope you will become involved in many of the different ministries available.
LIFE Groups/ Small Groups
By joining a LIFE Group, getting to know folks with similar interests, involving your kids or teens in activities, or volunteering to serve alongside others, you will experience the real benefits of belonging. Our hope is that you and your family will plug into a Faith First LIFE Group. It is about making your life meaningful and fulfilling the purposes for which God created you.
Why be part of a LIFE Group? As Faith First Community Church continues to reach the Jacksonville and Orange Park areas, we must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Connecting people in a small group is not an optional sub-ministry of the church. It is the church in her smallest form. We are called to live the Christian life with the support of others. Partners' helping one another is Christ's plan for His church. A LIFE Group is a place where you can be known without feeling like your new.
Are Small Groups Biblical? In the book of Acts, Luke records the tremendous growth of the first church in Jerusalem. Small group meetings in homes were the foundation of the early church. Acts 5:42 tells us that the people met "in the temple courts" (large group worship) and "from house to house" (small group fellowship). Jesus did much of his ministry in homes and early Christians continued to meet in homes for fellowship, study and discipleship.
Mission "IMPACT"
We believe the church has a special obligation to minister to people who are part of the body. However, that does not exclude those outside the body. Meeting the needs of the community around us is a way of drawing people to God by the physical expression of Christian love. “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:2
Our purpose is to worship the Lord Jesus Christ and that kind of love can take on many forms. One important way is through service. We believe to be used of God is to be available as His hands and feet. MISSION IMPACT is just one way Faith First Community Church can give back to Him, provide for the needs of His people and let His glory shine.
Join us as we hit the streets helping families in need. Service opportunities could consist of home and lawn repair, cleaning, painting, food and clothing distribution, praise and worship, giving gifts and sharing the message of Jesus Christ!
