FAQ’s
What are groups?
Groups are comprised of people walking through the good, bad, and ugly of life while reminding one another of the hope of Jesus. This is what it looks like to experience family as we pursue a Jesus centered life together. These groups will meet onsite, offsite in host homes across our community, and online.
Why should I be a part of a group?
We love to welcome new people to First Baptist Church Alpharetta (FBCA). Newcomers often want to visit FBCA on a Sunday morning and consider whether FBCA should be their church home. The next step in getting connected is becoming a part of a group. You need people alongside you, speaking truth into your life. Other people also need you as a friend, mentor, and brother/sister in Christ.
How often do they meet?
Typically groups will gather once a week for a term of 10 weeks. *(Some men's and women's groups will meet for a shorter term depending on their study.)
How do I get connected to a group?
We'd love to introduce you to a group leader and one or two groups that may work best with your location, schedule, and life stage. Check out the groups below, and sign up to get connected to a group.
