COMMUNITY GROUPS

Leader: Eric gray  

Community Groups are designed to foster true Biblical community and are a great way to build real and lasting relationships with others in the First Baptist church family. Community Groups meet in homes throughout the week at various times and locations across the City and Bay Area. Each group is unique, with some designed for people in specific demographic categories and others more diverse in their makeup. While each group may look different, every group will include elements of fellowship, prayer and Bible study. 


We believe that participating in Community Groups is important to the unity, life and ministry of our church as well as the spiritual maturity of every person. You are encouraged to explore and visit more than one group until you find the one that is right for you! It is through these groups that First Baptist becomes smaller and more personal as it grows larger, impacting more lives in San Francisco! We look forward to growing and doing life with YOU in a Community Group soon!
