Events This Week

Monday Night Prayer

Monday at 6:45pm

Every Monday, we meet in the Sanctuary at 6:45pm to pray. We are a community built on Expectant Prayer, boldly and unceasingly coming to the Father to advance His mission and Kingdom in the world. We believe prayer is the engine that moves us into all the Lord has prepared for us—welcoming the Spirit’s work in our church and stepping fully into the ongoing conversation with the Trinity. This is a time of worship and prayer led by the Holy Spirit to intercede as a family for our church, city, and the world.

GriefShare

Thursday at 6:30pm

GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Over 11 weeks ending May 7, you’ll find relief and comfort as you learn what to expect in the days ahead and how to navigate your personal grief process. Please contact Kensi Duszynski if you have any questions.

Men’s Ministry Service Breakfast

Saturday, April 11 at 9:00am

Enjoy a great breakfast with the men of FAC, along with a time of discussion, sharing, and prayer in the Dining Room. If you’re able, stay after for some work projects.
