There are so many options in life calling for our attention.

We can constantly be asking ourselves, “Should I look into this? Will I fit in? What can I expect if I visit?” All good questions to consider. 

Franklin First is a modest-sized church that has a family feel.

We have a few main goals:

  • to grow in our faith journey, whether we are seasoned believers or just getting started
  • to welcome new friends, and
  • to serve our community by being the hands and feet of Jesus.

Deep Dive Discipleship

A Croppin' Good Time - Scrapbooking Weekend

A Croppin' Good Time - Scrapbooking Weekend

 Whether we’ve been a person of faith for decades or days, there is always more to fathom in our relationship with God. Our faith journey can get lackadaisical unless we intentionally seek to expand not only our head knowledge, but also our heart knowledge about the mercy, grace, and love of our Lord.

With that in mind, you are invited to join Deep Dive Discipleship, a study led by Pastor Laura beginning in March on Sundays from 5:00 – 6:30 pm. A light meal will be provided. The course will meet mostly bi-weekly according to the schedule below:

March 19 - Living faith & the meaning of my baptism
April 2 - Making a daily connection with God
April 16 -  Developing deeper spiritual relationships
April 30 -  Vibrant worship
May 21 -  Having a servant’s heart
June 4 -  Deep discipleship insights
June 11  - What does hospitality look like in the Body of Christ?

All adults are invited to participate, and pre-registration will be helpful to provide the necessary materials. Please call the church office or register online by March 12. It will be a great way to take the next steps in your faith. Pastor Laura will be glad to address any questions you may have.
