Connecting Metro East to God's Life Changing Word

Our desire is to connect adults to a small group so that they may build a strong relationship with God and other people in the same stage of life, meet the needs of others and discover their unique purpose for life. Small groups are the axis for adults at First Baptist Church Maryville.

Have you ever wondered…

  • Who will help me figure out what being a Christian means and teach me how to learn more about God?
  • Can I really get to know people in a big church?
  • Where do I discover God's purpose in my life?
  • How do I get involved in making a difference in the world?
  • Can I form lasting friendships that offer support throughout the ups and downs of life?

Our small group ministry is the answer to all of these questions. Small groups really are the axis for adults at FBCM! Your friendships, your spiritual growth and your purpose all revolve around your small group experience. They are the place to be whether you are exploring the idea of walking with Christ or you're well into your journey with Him. The small group will offer you a dynamic experience with God's Word and closeness with His people that form friendships and celebrate fellowship in Christ. God uses these encounters to radically transform His people! We have Sunday Bible studies at 8:00 a.m., 9:15 a.m., 10:45 a.m. at FBCM.

There are men's, women's and coed classes for all ages. No matter where you are in life, married, single or college, we have a place for you! Other Bible studies meet throughout Metro East during the week. Scroll down for more information.
