Home Groups – We are excited to announce the launch of Home Groups this October. You may ask, “What is a Home Group and what does that have to do with me?” This is a gathering of people in the home of a person who attends First Baptist with the express purpose of navigating life together. God created us for relationship; with Him and one another. With this in mind, we want to gather together to encourage one another as we face the challenges of life. These Home Groups are places we can invite our neighbors and friends, grow deeper in our relationship with God and one another, and share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Some of the details for these groups are listed below and we will provide more information in the near future.- In Christ’s Love, Pastor Dawes Dunham

 

Mission Statement – Home groups are to be intentional groups of individuals who experience life together through fellowship, worship, serving, active growth and evangelism, through love and obedience to Christ.

 

We are currently looking for host homes! If you would like info or to sign up, call the office or check out www.danvillefirstbaptist.org/home-groups/
