Specialty Classes Offered @ FBC Woodstock
beginning on Sunday, February 3
All classes meet on Sundays at 9:30 am unless otherwise noted
Weekly small groups are a way of making this huge church feel much smaller. First Baptist Woodstock offers environments where you can build meaningful relationships, be encouraged to grow, and literally share life with people who are on the same journey with the same ups and downs as you are. We have ongoing groups available for all ages at 8:10, 9:30, and 11:00am but the groups listed below are brand new specialty groups that target specific needs related to Marriage, Finances, and Parenting. We'd love to have you join us for our launch date on Sunday, February 3rd at 9:30am! To make your experience as smooth as possible, you can call 770-926-4428 before you come and we would be happy to have someone meet you. We also have greeters and Guest Services kiosks throughout our facilities on Sunday mornings who are well prepared and are ready and willing to help you. Look for someone with a greeter nametag.
