Thrive means to grow vigorously or to flourish and our desire at FirstCov is that each one of us would Thrive spiritually. God designed us to follow Jesus in community and while participating in Sunday worship is one of the most significant things we do as believers it is not meant to be everything. Throughout the history of the church and across continents and cultures, in cities and villages, since the day of Pentecost until now believers have gathered in small groups to fellowship, worship, pray, and study Scripture. At FirstCov we have several groups that meet at various times and various places. Some discuss the sermon passage, some do a video teaching series, others do a book study. All are focused on Scripture and all are rooted in community.

We are desiring for more people to get involved in small group settings, and ultimately, we would like to see every adult in a Thrive. And while this may not completely realistic, we continue to shape our conversations around growing our Thrive ministry to be the #1 place for connection, care, mission, and spiritual growth for our people.

THRIVE exists to help us become followers of Jesus who make disciples. If you want a chance to grow deeper in your faith in a relational context we have a great opportunity for you.
