At First Irving we desire to equip the church for the work of ministry, and we accomplish this in two different formats. Both formats are structured differently but seek to accomplish the same aim of building up the body of Christ for the glory of God. Both of these groups meet on Sunday Morning at 9:30 AM, along with our Family Ministries dedicated to our children.
Adult Bible Fellowships (ABFs) are small groups that meet year-round on Sunday mornings. These small groups walk through books of the Bible together, pray together, and enjoy fellowship with one another. Each of these groups tend to be broken up by age and/or stage of life
Our college students gather on Sunday mornings at 9am for a time of fellowship (coffee and pancakes), teaching from God’s Word, and discussion that happens following the corresponding teaching. This gathering offers an opportunity for students to connect with others who are in a similar stage of life.
Our Family Ministries include Preschool, Kids, and Students occurs at 9:30 AM. Within each ministry, this time is meant to teach our children about the glories of Jesus Christ and the Gospel.
Seminar classes aim to teach our church how to apply God’s Word to all matters of faith and life. Each class typically falls into one of these categories: hermeneutics (how to understand God’s Word), theology (what to believe about God), or application (how our doctrine informs how we live). These 6-week classes are offered year-round on Sunday mornings and are open to all generations.
