Sunday School promotes spiritual growth in the body of Jesus Christ by providing participants an opportunity to engage in Bible study in a less formal atmosphere than Sunday services. We encourage active participation as all lessons are designed to be practical, relevant, and engaging. In-depth discussions reinforce ideas or misconceptions and can serve as a blessing to others.

The purpose of our Youth and Young Adult Ministry is to equip each student with the tools necessary in developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Each week we pray for creative ideas to bring the word of God to life. We also have discussions about the issues they face on a daily basis. The ideas behind the discussion stem from young men and women who are growing up with questions and concerns who rarely have an outlet or a venue to receive Godly answers. At First Church, we want to cultivate young men and women who are fully equipped to deal with the tests and temptations of life. We speak life into everyone involved in our program and watch the freedom they find living for Christ. Join us in a revolutionary experience as we empower the next generation to become everything God has purposed and destined them to be.
Ministries: (1) Sunday School every Sunday at the Annex, (2) Young Adult Ministry – Bible Studies via Zoom (every other Monday at 9pm EST/8pm CST)
