As our lives become increasingly global, we are rapidly losing our
connection with those around us. We send lots of e-mail, but have
little real conversation. We communicate lots of information, but have
little substance. Our phone lists are large, yet we have less
interaction. But God never meant for us to exist alone. From creation
His idea was community and connection, with Him and with others. We
want people to know Christ and to become like Him. That can only happen
in an atmosphere of authentic community. That's why we've created First
Groups. We believe life works best when you're are connected to God and
other people.

At Grand Rapids First, this connection happens in a variety of
environments. We come together for worship in a weekend service, but we
do life in small groups. It may be a group of golfers, artists, hunters
or business people. Some groups like to study, some like to pray, while
others focus on developing life skills. There are many places you can
find where you fit. Getting connected is easy, just click the Find a
Group tab at the top of this page, or click on Contact Us and we'll be
happy to help you connect with a group.
