Lead a Group
You don’t have to be a Bible scholar or a perfect Christian to lead a group. You just need to care about people and want to help them grow.
Group Leaders Make Church Personal
Groups are the heartbeat of spiritual growth at First. When you lead a group, you create space for people to build friendships, wrestle with faith, pray together, and grow closer to Jesus. And it’s not just good for them—it’s transformational for you, too.
“I never thought I could lead a group, but God used my willingness in ways I never expected.”
— Michael Scott
