The church is God’s instrument to change the world. The missional reach of First Church extends well beyond The 918. It crosses international borders and reaches people in some of the most difficult situations on Earth. On December 1, Beyond Sunday will highlight and celebrate what God is doing through local and global missions partners and the members of First Church.

A base camp is a necessary checkpoint needed to reach the summit. Following Jesus isn’t a one-time decision but a lifelong journey with Him. The longer we follow Him, the more He transforms our lives. But sometimes we need to hit pause and make sure He’s leading and we’re following. In the "Base Camp" series and in our corresponding small groups, we’re pausing to breathe, examine the climate we’re in, repack our gear, get some nourishment, and make sure we’re on the right path to reach the summit. We’re taking 7 weeks to discuss some necessary spiritual rhythms so that spiritual growth happens in our lives.
