Groups
The Body of Christ is made to learn and grow together. We strongly believe that spiritual growth is intertwined with living life together.
What are "groups"?
Groups are small gatherings of people that meet online or in person to be in fellowship and discuss a recent sermon or topic that is weighing on their hearts.
The frequency of this can depend on the leader of the group (weekly, biweekly, or monthly).
"For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”
Matthew 18:20
Why be in a "group"?
We strongly advocate for the transformative power of relationships that nurture our personal growth and development.
In essence, life is enhanced through togetherness.
Current Groups
Far Above Rubies - Women's Ministry
Welcome to the women's ministry at The Father's Heart. We hold the belief that every woman within the body of Christ possesses purpose, value, and destiny. Women's Ministries exists to help women see their worth, their spiritual authority and their hope in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit
Cultivating strong, intimate relationships within the community is often essential for personal growth in one's relationship with Jesus. With a commitment to creating an atmosphere where women can deepen their connection with both Jesus and each other, Far Above Rubies aims to provide a nurturing environment for all.

Iron Sharpens Iron - Men's Ministry
Welcome to The Father's Heart Men's Ministry, where we empower men to fulfill their God-given roles as leaders in their households.

Together, we serve the church and the community as the hands and feet of Jesus, making a positive impact through our actions. Join us in embracing our responsibilities and making a difference as we walk this journey together with God's guidance.
