SUPPORT
MERCY MINISTRIES
At FIRST, we know that the journey of life can bring seasons of trial, grief, or hardship. We are here to walk with you on your journey, with scripture as our guide, to help you through the challenges that you may face. We have several different support ministries to help with specific needs.

If you struggle with drugs or alcohol (or any other addiction) and are looking for help, Free Indeed, our addiction recovery group, will take you through a distinctly, biblically-based 12-step program to help you gain back your freedom from addiction.
Free Indeed meets on Mondays from 6:00 to 7:00 pm in room S-11 at our church campus. Both men and women are welcome.
Cancer Companions at FIRST is an 8-lesson study designed to teach faith-based coping techniques for your journey with cancer. The topics we will explore include: Hope, Focus, Truth, Worry, Nutrition, Guilt, Exercise, and more.
If you are a cancer survivor, patient, or caregiver, this group is for you. The most important aspect of Cancer Companions is gathering with others to explore ways to see Jesus more clearly throughout your cancer journey. Contact us to inquire about current or upcoming sessions.
No matter what the circumstances, grief is a painful process. Our GriefShare support group is for people dealing with the death of a family member or friend.
GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Over 13 weeks, you’ll find relief and comfort as you learn what to expect in the days ahead and how to navigate your personal grief process. Contact us to inquire about current or upcoming sessions.
Marriages are constantly under attack. God’s desire is for marriages to thrive, not crumble or be disposable. We’ve implemented a ministry that is specifically designed to help those that are on the front lines of this battle. Whether you’re preparing for marriage, in a good marriage but desiring to take a step towards an even healthier more vibrant marriage, or your marriage is in a state of crisis, we have mentor couples ready to “walk alongside” you.
What Marriage Mentoring is NOT:
The mentoring system is not another teaching curriculum. It is not a replacement for professional counselors or clergy.
What is IS:
It is a method of mediation and negotiation helping couples learn how to solve their own issues in a loving and respectful way.
How is it different and who is it for?
Designed for premarital, troubled marriages and good marriages who just want to get stronger.
