Adult Ministry at First Irving

At First Irving our mission to make disciples for God’s glory drives all our ministry because this is what the Scriptures teaches the church has been commissioned to do (Matt 28:18-20). We believe this work includes the proclamation of the Gospel and the building up of believers into maturity. Thus, our aim is to partner with God and His work in Irving and the surrounding cities.

We believe the Scriptures provide a compass for how the church accomplishes the work of ministry. First, through the equipping of the saints and second, by the saints carrying out of the ministry (Eph 4:13). This type of ministry leads the church to love and care for one another the way God designed it too, until we all attain a unity of faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

We exist to make disciples locally and globally for the glory of God
