Advance Young Adults

Advance gets together every two weeks at various places all over Dayton for fun and fellowship. Relationships are built between single young adults here to encourage and inspire one another to more powerful levels of spiritual depth and action! Events are intended to generate the thoughts outlined in Philippines 4:8, attitudes outlined in Philippians 2:3-5, and actions outlined in Philippians 1:27 and Philippians 2:12-18. Our mission is to encourage and empower single young adults to advance the Kingdom of God in the stage of life where God has them now, actively train together in God’s word, reach unsaved friends with the Gospel, share the Truth in love with one another, and serve the people of Jesus Christ through the ministry of First Grace. For information on future Advance Young Adult gatherings, please email Brittany at Fieryhalo@gmail.com

Anyone of the age 60 years old or older are welcome to join! 

Discipleship & Bible Studies

Discipleship (patterned after the life of Jesus and his disciples) is intrinsic to the lifestyle and culture of 1st Grace. We see in Mark 3:14 that Jesus appointed the 12 so they might "be with Him" and that He might "send them out to preach." Our goal in reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to see them not only profess belief but actively grow in their faith by learning what it means to "be with" Jesus through studying His Word. The goal is to create an atmosphere where individuals of every age are encouraged and excited to explore Scripture for themselves. Sunday morning Bible Classes at 9:30 A.M.  prepare for this purpose and individuals are actively encouraged to meet with mentors regularly for individualized spiritual growth. Come, share, learn, and grow with your 1st Grace family. It's not just a church; it's home.
