G.r.A.C.E. @ Faith

Gatherings re: Adult Connection and Encouragement will not meet during the summer.  Meetings will resume on September 12, 2010 and will continue on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. throughout the fall, winter and spring. 

"Something More," a gathering for couples and parents of young children up to middle school age, centers around the theme "A Life of Worship." Discussion touches on all areas, from simply waking up to cooking to our family relationships.  Interesting and relevant current events are incorporated into the discussions, too.  Every Sunday, time is reserved for talking/mingling, as the hope is to facilitate the deepening of relationships and the building of a stronger sense of community and connection here at Faith. 

The "Boomers," a gathering for the "older and wiser" folks at Faith, explores God's word and our responsibilities as Christians.  This gathering began with Romans 12 and a discussion of the gifts of God.  After identifying the existing needs in the community around us, the focus moved to how they might best meet those needs.  Earlier in the spring, they discussed the book, Dysciples: Why I Fall Asleep When I Pray and Twelve Other Discipleship Dysfunctions.

The atmosphere of both gatherings is casual, and the hour begins with coffee, good food and conversation.  The "Boomers" meets in the FPC Library/Lounge, while "Something More" gathers in the church Trailer.

 

Community Groups

Community Groups are the primary place of pastoral care and building of community and friendship at Faith. They are an effective means of helping folks in our church get involved in the life of our church family. Activities within the Community Groups may include -

  • Sharing a meal together
  • Studying and learning about Scripture
  • Fellowship
  • Prayer

Each group meeting is held in a church member's home, with the exception of the Mt. Washington group, which meets in the the church library. 

Below is a detailed list of FPC's current Community Groups.  If you are interested in joining a group, please contact the church office at 513-231-1399 or e-mail Pastor Matt at matt@faithpca.org.

Children's Ministry

Nursery

Nursery care is available on Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. until the end of the worship service for children ages Birth to 3 years.


The FPC Nursery Coordinators and Nursery Volunteers believe that caring for the children of Faith is a privilege and great responsibility.

They strive to create a calm and comfortable atmosphere in which the littlest among us can play safely.

Click here to read a letter from Pastor Matt in which he discusses the selection of the Catechesis program and why we have chosen this method as the means by which to teach the children of Faith about the Scriptures.

Children ages 4 to 7 meet in Christ The Good Shepherd Atria while the 8 to 12-year olds gather in the The True Vine Atria.

Children's Church

Children of Faith, ages 4 through 9, have the option of attending Children's Church during the main worship service.

Typically, children remain with their parents in the sanctuary until a point mid-way through the service, at which time they may choose to go to Children's Church, which lasts for the remainder of the service.

Please note that Children's Church is optional, and parents are welcome to keep their children with them for the entire service if they so desire.
