We believe that we are better together and that we need the Jesus in one another to help us grow in our faith. We believe in supporting one another, bearing one another’s burdens, praying with and for one another and rejoicing in our victories and successes. Unity is at the heart of a growing church, and our strength lies in our oneness. You have a place in God’s presence, and in the body of Christ and we desire to help you grow in His likeness. We have various discipleship groups that meet throughout the week. We would love to connect with you and plug you into a group that will pray with you, learn with you, and grow with you.

Here at FS1, we have a place of belonging for youth grades 6–12. Pastor Peyton, alongside other youth volunteers, helps the youth engage God through the Word, team‑building activities and games, and worship. Whether it be a movie and pizza night, a road trip, or youth camp, our youth leaders are always seeking to grow in community, develop relationships with Christ, and teach our youth how to put their faith into practice.

Wildfire Youth Weekly Schedule:

We love to minister to the family unit, including your children! Here at First Church, we teach our kids to live out what Jesus considered to be the greatest commandment: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength,” and then to “love your neighbor” (Matt 22:37). Our children’s ministry is led by Miss Shelly, who seeks to provide our kids solid Nazarene Biblical teaching, fun and engaging activities, and a warm place to belong. All of our children’s volunteers have passed background checks and are Ministry Safe certified.

Weekly Schedule

Sunday School – 9:30 a.m.
Little Kids
Location: Main Building, next to the nursery
Teachers: Linda Parker and Elizabeth Jones

Big Kids
Location: Family Life Center, upstairs
Teachers: Vickie Jones and Ashley Lairamore

We value families worshiping together, so children stay with their parents during the first part of our Sunday service. During the tithes and offering portion, kids are dismissed to Children’s Church—a fun, age‑appropriate time where they can learn about Jesus through engaging lessons and activities.

Kids love Wednesday nights at 6:30! Our program combines engaging Bible lessons with fun games and hands‑on crafts, all led by caring volunteers who give personal attention to every child. Each week we also serve a kid‑friendly meal—favorites like hot dogs, nachos, or chicken nuggets—so families can come straight from their busy day. It’s a safe, joyful place for kids to learn about Jesus and build friendships.
