Kids will spend the week learning about how following Jesus can bring them joy. Join us for dinner, crafts, games, snacks, activities, and more!

Breaking Bread

Looking to get know more people at Faith Covenant Church? Check out Breaking Bread! Breaking Bread is a simple system to help you meet some more folks. 


Go 4fcc.org/breaking-bread or click here to fill out the online form and we will pair you up with another person.


You can have meal together, grab some coffee, or just meet up in-person or via zoom. However you choose to do it, this is a great way for you to meet new folks and build better relationships. There is no agenda to these meet-ups, it is simply a chance for you to share who you are with other people. 


We will then help pair you up with someone else who also wants to meet new people.

Summer Growth Groups

Looking for a place to plug in this summer? Join a summer growth group. Many of our existing groups are continuing, such as our Tuesday night women's group and our Saturday morning men's group. We've also got some new groups starting.


Check out "Think Like a Detective," led by Tim and June Kenny. In this brand new group that meets Sundays at the church during the second service they will be working through a video series by former atheist and cold-case detective J. Warner Wallace. Together they will talk through some of the most common questions and objections that NON-BELIEVERS and NEW BELIEVERS ask so that you can "always be prepared to give an ANSWER for the hope that you have" (1 Peter 3:15).


Or maybe you are looking to study a book of the Bible this Summer. If that's you, then check out our Tuesday night study on the book of James led by Mack Crandall.


Make sure you head over to 4fcc.org/groups to learn the details of all of our groups and to sign up for one that fits with your summer.
