Families Count - Service Opportunity
2026-02-11 17:30 - 19:00 | FPC Jackson Campus, 1390 North State Street, Jackson, MS, 39202, United States
Families Count — Service Opportunity Beginning January 14
Looking for an opportunity to serve right here in our local community? Our next Families Count class begins January 14 during Midweek. We are in need of a few volunteers to provide childcare or transportation. Please contact Jo Lynn Mayfield (jolynnm@fpcjackson.org or 769-524-5121) to get involved.
Families Count equips local churches to walk alongside families facing separation due to financial strain, substance abuse, mental health challenges, and other pressures. When children enter foster care, often for more than a year, the lack of a stable home increases the risk of long-term social, academic, and emotional challenges. God designed the family as a place of safety and healing, and Families Count helps churches support families with the care, guidance, and hope needed for restoration.

Men, our Breakfast Series is back on Tuesdays at 6:30 a.m. This semester our topic is Hosea: God’s Casual Lovers.

In this men’s Bible study, led by Rupert Hunt Taylor, we’ll face the scandal of God’s relentless love for His faithless church—and see ourselves in Israel’s wandering hearts.
Beginning February 10, come wrestle with a God whose love disciplines, pursues, and brings rebellious sons home. Register below to let us know you’re coming and to pay for breakfast.

Circle Bible Studies | FIRST & SECOND PETER: A Living Hope in a Hard World
2026-02-09 - 2026-02-10 | FPC Jackson Campus, 1390 North State Street, Jackson, MS, 39202, United States
Graphic, Notebook Cover, Bookmarks FIRST & SECOND PETER: A Living Hope in a Hard World
Originally written to Gentile Christians living in the northern provinces of Asia Minor (or modern-day Turkey) who were beginning to suffer persecution for their faith, Peter’s letters instruct believers about living as Christians in a society that is hostile to their values and lifestyle. Both letters encourage Christians who are suffering for their faith in all places and all times, showing us how to live out our redemption in a hostile world. Although salvation may involve suffering, the gospel brings hope also as the grace of God is amplified in our lives.
Joining a Circle is a wonderful way to get involved in the life of the church and make a big church feel like family. Circles are groups of women who meet monthly (September–May) for Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and to learn of opportunities for service and missions within our church. To register, contact Lisa Oswalt at 769-333-5802 or lisao@fpcjackson.org.
