Open Hearts - Open Homes
Small Group Ministry
Faith Fellowship Church is built on small group ministry. Safe, intimate and confidential settings allow us to remain close in heart while continuing to grow into a much larger church family. Any group you choose will provide you with the opportunity to make new friends, receive encouragement and healing, and draw closer to God.

January 11th –April 4th , 2012 - Lower Level Room # 106
 
Is nothing working anymore? Do you wonder what is going on in your life? Why are the relationships in your life unhealthy? Well, it is time to find out and to break free from the bondage in your life and learn not just to survive, but to actually live. 
• Discover who you are from the inside out.
• What does healthy intimacy with God and others look like?
• How do you gain a healthy perspective on life and how it affects you?
• What are the benefits – and costs --- to true change?
 
If you want to escape a way of life that keeps intimacy, authenticity, and spirituality in bondage and discover freedom in God and with others, with true love and passion, please join us.

WILD AT HEART
Dwight Coleman, Facilitator,
PH: 330.467.0011
Faith Fellowship Church
330-467-1234 ffc@windstream.net
Every Wednesday 7:00 Room 107
Starting: October 12, 2011
 
A man needs adventure…in his work, in his love, and in his spiritual life.  Deep in a man’s heart he wants a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue because that’s how God created him.  God created man for adventure and with a masculine heart.  The problem is that deep wounds from earlier years have taken away a man’s confidence and, in some cases, his masculinity.
 
For too long, the call of Christianity to men has evoked no higher goal, ultimately, than becoming a “nice guy”.  No wonder many men are bored to tears with church.  The hero instinct has been trained out of them.  Wild at Heart invites men to come alive again, to find their great battle, adventure and beauty.
 
If you dare….join us.  Your life will never be the same.
 
Child care is available.
