Connect
Adults
At First Baptist Greenville, discipleship doesn’t stop at any age. Our Adult Ministry offers a wide variety of opportunities for connection, growth and community. From Sunday School classes and Bible studies to prayer groups and affinity groups built around shared interests, there are meaningful ways for every adult to engage.
Whether you’re looking to deepen your faith, build lasting friendships or simply find your place, you’ll discover ever-evolving opportunities to learn, serve and grow together at FBG.
Sunday School
9:15-10:15am
The classes are diverse in their approach to teaching and in the curricula they choose. Each class attempts to meet the individual and corporate needs of its members through study and fellowship. Many classes engage in mission projects and are active in ministry outside the class time. Our overall goal is to provide an environment of lifelong learning that enables adults to mature in faith, deepen relationships, and learn to invest their God-given gifts in ministry. We want to assist you in finding a class which meets your needs and in which you can grow and serve.
If you have questions, contact Camille Loomis Rehnborg.

Centering Prayer Group
Tuesdays | Noon-1pm on Zoom
Contact: Susan D’Amato
As described on the website of Contemplative Outreach, Centering Prayer is “a method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, prayer in which we experience God’s presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself.
This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship.” The Centering Prayer group uses its weekly gathering for reading and responding to a contemplative devotional or article and for twenty minutes of Centering Prayer. Centering Prayer group welcomes newcomers and visitors at any time. You do not need to commit to weekly attendance — just come when you can!
