The Gathering: A Community of the Word is our newest intergenerational Sunday morning community for high school students and adults. In this dynamic community, you’ll explore God’s Word through interactive discussions and meaningful reflections. We aim to build a community where we grow together, learn God’s Word together, and walk together through life. Whether you’re new to the Bible or seeking to deepen your existing knowledge, The Gathering offers a welcoming space for all. This fall we will be studying the gospel of Luke, followed by the book of Acts. Join us each week as we embark on a journey of faith, discovering the transformative power of God’s teachings and sharing in the joy of walking through life together.

Wednesday Night - 6-8 PM
7th and 8th grade students, will not want to miss a power packed series as they dig into the foundations of their faith in Alpha. This series is designed specifically to inspire students to engage in meaningful discussions about faith and life’s biggest questions.
Our Beta group, designed for all 9th graders and high schoolers who aren’t ready to dive into a committed discipleship group, will challenge students at all levels of faith on a more drop-in basis. This year, they will be studying the book of Luke.
Discipleship groups are for high school students in 10th – 12th grade who want to take their faith to the next level in a committed group that will challenge them with deep weekly discussions and opportunities to integrate their faith deeper into their daily life.
No matter where your child is in their faith, each of these groups will allow them to take the next steps in their journey.
Wednesday Nights will end on June 3 with the Senior Banquet and take a break until July 8.

Values
- Gospel-Centered & Life-Applicable — We want students to know the Gospel deeply and see how it shapes everyday life.
- Intentional Discipleship — We invest personally in students to help them grow in their walk with Christ. We believe in raising up Christ-like students and leaders who invest in others and make a Kingdom impact.

- Biblical Teaching — We challenge students to dig into God’s Word and build a faith rooted in Scripture.
- Authentic Relationships — We value honest, vulnerable, accountable, and meaningful Christian community. We want every student to feel known and welcome, regardless of church background.

Joseph’s journey with FCCO began in childhood, growing up in both the Children’s Ministry and Student Ministries. In 2018, he entered into a season of one-on-one mentoring with former Director of Student Ministry, Joel, which—together with his time serving at Camp Sentinel—helped confirm God’s call on his life to minister to students and young adults.
He went on to attend Gordon College, where he met his wife, Alicia, and graduated in 2022 with a B.A. in Christian Ministries and a minor in Biblical Studies. Both Joseph and Alicia share a deep passion for seeing God transform the lives of students and young adults, and they are eager to serve and invest in the FCCO family.
In this new season of ministry, Joseph and Alicia hold close the promise of Isaiah 43:19: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
