Adult Studies, Classes & Small Groups

adult studies, classes, and small groups

God's plan is for us to grow up physically, to grow in relationships, to grow in our faith, and to grow in our relationship with God. But not all of these areas of growth come naturally. They require effort and intentionality. This is especially true of our growth in faith and discipleship. We grow in our faith as we worship, learn, and fellowship with other believers. We encourage you to participate in a study.

Studies are offered in the fall and spring. Our men's study runs year round.

first Frisco iron works men's group

Fridays, 6 - 7 am in the Gathering Area (just outside the Sanctuary)
Led by Rev. Mark Vowell

First Frisco Iron Works is a ministry for Christian men. It refers to the refining activity of God that is needed in the life of every Christian. Refining and forging require tremendous heat and intentional shaping. A tool that has been properly refined and forged is more effective, and less likely to break under pressure. Important point: Men who participate in this ministry are not the fire, or the hammer, or the anvil! We are the lump, being refined and shaped for God’s purposes. For men, this process of spiritual refining and forging works best in the company of other men who are committed to the same goal. Join Pastor Mark on Fridays from 6-7 am in the Gathering Area. FFIW is studying "Religionless Christianity: God's Answer to Evil" by Eric Metaxas. Contact Pastor Mark, mark@firstfrisco.org, for details.
Facilitator: Rev. Mark Vowell
When: Fridays, 6 - 7 am year-round
Where: The Gathering Area (just outside the Sanctuary

israel: the journey of a chosen people

Wednesdays, 10-11:30 AM in The Loft (2nd floor of the Sanctuary bldg.) on Sept.11 through Mid December
Led by Rebecca Campbell and Pat McClain

Israel is a story of a homeless people who kept a dream alive for millennia, of a people’s redemption from the edge of the abyss, or a nation forging a future when none seemed possible.
Even though God has chosen to use both Jew and Gentile to accomplish all He planned from the beginning, the initial phases of this plan and the culmination of God’s promise in Genesis 3:14-15, with the coming of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, involve the Jewish people.  They are chosen, blessed, persecuted, and living past, present and future under the promises of God that will never fail.
This study will trace their journey from the time of the Patriarchs, through the present day and onward through prophecy and Revelation.
Facilitators: Rebecca Campbell and Pat McClain
When: Most Wednesdays, Sept. 11th - Mid December
Where: The Loft (2nd Floor of the Sanctuary bldg.)
Cost: No charge
