Andre' and April Gonzalez
About Us
Our LDG definitely loves to fellowship. We actually dedicate a pretty good portion of the time to just hanging out and chatting. We all love to relax, kick off our shoes, sing worship songs, and learn about how to do life together.
Everyone brings food that we announce the week before. Of course we love to chow down so we try to bring yummy food every week to share with each other! It is good times all around!
Childcare is available at $3 per child.
Meeting Days
We meet the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month at 7 PM.

Jeff and Diana Grover
About Us
Our group welcomes everyone as you are--but we encourage you not to stay that way. With love and support, we promote personal change through internal growth. You are challenged to attempt things you wouldn't normally do on your own.
Ownership of the group is strongly emphasized by including members in different areas of participation (ie: opening your home; leading a session; organizing snacks; recording birthdays and anniversaries for celebration; etc.). Relationships are founded over food and fellowship but carry over to life outside the group setting.
Meeting Days
We meet the second and fourth Sundays of each month at 6 PM.

Toriano and Mandisa Holder
About Us
This LDG is a family in Christ. Together we create an environment that is filled with love and laughter. We want to know God and not just know of Him. By knowing Him we will walk in love and peace in every area of our lives. Every meeting will provide opportunities to grow and learn more of the Word of God.
As for fellowship, we plan monthly night out events for just the men, ladies, and children. We also plan a large feast so we can get together over food, fun, and games.
Finally, we provide childcare at a cost of $2 per child (not to exceed $5 per family) for the sitter. We also ask that each family bring light snacks for the fellowship before and after the meeting.
Meeting Days
We meet the second and fourth Sundays at 4:30pm.

Rick and Vindra Khan
About Us
We invite you to "LDG 5-1-1", a name that fits us based on Psalm 5:11:
"But let all who take refuge in You rejoice!; Let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread Your protection over them, that all who love Your Name may be filled with joy."
We love to build relationships outside of FHC by understanding your struggles and accomplishments. We are passionate in the Lord by seeking His Wisdom and welcome all who would like to grow spiritually. We encourage participation through all areas of the group as well as community outreach.
Once a month the guys hang out to play and to discuss how to become better husbands, fathers and men. The women also gather to enjoy each other's company by meeting at a unique location monthly. Kids are welcome to come, and we ask that you give $3 per child or $5 for two for the sitter.
The best way to describe what our LDG is all about is through our vision: Our LDG is not just a group, but a place of REFUGE: It's where Relationships Effect Fellowship through Unity, Growth, and Encouragement.
Come as you are into God's sanctuary and help us celebrate His promises.
Meeting Days
We meet the first and third Sundays of every month, at 4 PM, sharing dinner together based on a themed dish.

Cliff Pugh and Clint Pugh
About Us
Mother Teresa once said, "We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty."
This is what our LDG is all about: instilling the truth and reality of being wanted, loved and cared for by God. We like to have fun, laugh together, encourage each other, and occasionally cry together. It's all about real life.
Our LDG is comprised of mostly young adults, but we do have a few who are "young at heart" ... if you know what I mean! We do enjoy some good food...so be ready to bring something tasty. After eating, we experience God's presence through worship. Then we dive into growing together in God. Simply put: TONS 'O FUN!

Micah and Kelly Vanderburg
About Us
We invite you to our home where we literally kick off our shoes and lounge around the living room. This is a very non-threatening environment that doesn't allow condemnation. We will, however, love each other with accountability. We have an "anti-religious" approach, and instead we pursue strong relationships with Christ and each other. We are real people in a real world with real issues, in need of a real God. So, how are you doing ... really?
Our group enjoys doing things outside of our scheduled meetings as well. We have family outings, girls nights, guys nights, and community outreaches. We have a calendar full of fun things and meaningful things to do together.
Everone brings a snack to share. We provide childcare at a cost of $2.50 per child for the sitter.

Hollis and Nikki Williams
About Us
If there existed a requirement to become part of our group, it would be MUST LOVE CHILDREN. Our group has as many children under the age of five as there are adults. While the adults do form a separate congregation during our meeting, the kids play in a room around the corner that has no door. And as many of us are parents of these tots, we are already accustomed to the hullabaloo this arrangement creates. Hence we hardly notice the volume on the TV is maxed as we view our sessions. And as we converse and pray, we all are instinctively available to embrace a wandering toddler or waylay an adventurous preschooler. Our kids are as much a welcome part of our life group experience as are the adults.

Mike and Charyl Witt
About Us
Our LDG is a safe place where people are free to share their thoughts, feelings and questions. We are committed to praying for each other's needs and are expectant of God's faithfulness in answering those requests.
Since our LDG started, we have shared numerous praise reports with one another of God's faithfulness in so many situations! We rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn because we are a family. We have definitely experienced the importance of agreeing with one another in prayer and then being able to share, together as an LDG, the blessings of God.
We have snacks every LDG, and occasionally we have dinners together (either before an LDG, or just for fun to hang out between LDGs).

Kim and Roddie Zahren
About Us
We have a great mix of folks! It's a very lively group and caring!
We want to hear from you! This is not an "I talk, you listen" group. Instead, we're looking to facilitate others in their gifting, and you'll probably be asked to lead a time or two! Relationships are important and take time to develop. We try to provide an atmosphere where that can happen. We want you to know you are noticed and cared for!
Each member brings food and we enjoy a meal together prior to a short study and group discussion. We also provide a babysitter, and everyone contributes to the cost.
Meeting Days
We meet the first and third Sundays of each month at 6 PM.
