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.
"DEPTH CHARGE" HOME GROUP
 
Join Revs. Tom & Ginger Martin and Hosts David & Kathy Hill for a new study entitled "Just Walk Across the Room" by Bill Hybels. We will explore how to follow Jesus' model of personal evangelism by "living in 3-D" - - developing friendships, discovering stories, and discerning appropriate ways to leave our comfort zones. Come with us as we learn to share the good news of redemption with people living far from God - - and across the room. We are looking forward to hearing personal testimonies and experiences of group members as we renew ourselves to God's mandate to "make disciples. . ."  Contact our host home below or  Ginger Martin @ gingermartin@windstream.net 

7:15 pm, Host Home: David & Kathy Hill, 3517 Deer Creek Trail, Richfield, OH 44286, (330) 659-2685.  We meet every 2nd & 4th Fridays of the month.
