SMALL GROUPS
Here at First Church we have several small groups our congregants can be part of. Check out all we have to offer below.
First Methodist Women
Our First Methodist Women’s group at First Church normally meets on the first Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in the parlor, except for the month of September when it meets on the second Monday of the month. We believe that love in action can change the world. We work to improve the lives of women, children and youth locally, nationally, and internationally.
The group recently attended the Spiritual Growth Retreat at Lake Junaluska.
Mamas in Ministry
Mamas in Ministry is a group is geared toward expecting mothers to mothers of teens. It meets on the first Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. in Langford Hall. Bring a snack to share. Child care will be provided. For more information, please contact the church office at info@firstchinagrove.org.
Men’s Ministry
Our men’s ministry at First Church has recently started meeting again. The group held a kick-off event in May which included a breakfast, devotional and small service project on the church grounds.
Currently, there is a Men’s Prayer Group held on Thursday mornings at 9 a.m. in the church library. It is led by retired pastors Rev. Perry Bradshaw and Rev. George Hill.
