ADULTS at First Melissa
We're here to serve you, with ministries designed to help strengthen your faith, enrich your journey, and encourage you as you grow in Christ.
These ministries can also be a great place of service - an opportunity to "put feet to your faith." If you would like information on serving in one of these areas, please email . We would love to help you connect!
Adult Small Groups
Small groups are the heart of connection. It’s where we get to know and care for one another, and it’s where all of our vision expressions come together: Connecting Authentically as we Equip Continuously to Reach Intentionally to introduce others to Jesus as we Live Passionately for His glory. Small groups are where big things happen! For information on specific small groups, CLICK HERE.
Wednesday Evenings
Wednesday evenings are also a great way to connect, with something for everyone as we continue the journey of connecting authentically, equipping continuously, reaching intentionally, and living passionately - all for HIS glory. Activities generally change seasonally, and at various times include classes, worship services, and/or fellowship activities. For information on our Wednesday evening activities, CLICK HERE.
Connections
“Connect Authentically” is one of First Melissa's expressions of our vision as a church. We want to be a church where people genuinely know and care for one another. Our Connections ministry team can help you connect with people and places of service that can be a part of your journey as you Equip Continuously, Reach Intentionally, and Live Passionately.
Men's Ministry
Our vision is to see a biblical awakening among men, and to empower leaders to fulfill Jesus’ commission of disciples making disciples who make disciples. Our mission is to create an environment for men to be challenged in their relationship with Jesus Christ, helping to glorify Him in the home, workplace, and elsewhere, and to provide an opportunity for men to fellowship, worship, share and encourage each other.
