At First Church we recognize the importance of continual, life-long exploration of our faith and life in Christ. Christ is formed in us not just personally, but corporately. The mind of Christ is to shape and direct the entire body of Christ. Here we receive our truest identity, meaning and purpose. Spiritual formation is conformation to the image of Christ by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit for the sake of others. In order to seek the will of God in our lives we offer a number of groups and experiences where persons can find companions for their journey of faith.
FUMC of Pensacola offers a variety of Sunday Morning Classes for all ages and interests from 9:45am – 10:45am in various locations all around our campus. Contact Emily Kincaid, EKincaid@FUMCPensacola.com for more information on what class is right for you!

The Body Keeps Score

[It’s] a must read for mental health and other health care professionals, trauma survivors, their loved ones and those who seek . . . solutions to the cycle of trauma and violence in our society.” If you or someone you know or love are dealing with or suffering from the effects of trauma, please join us as we explore the material in this book and learn spiritual practices that help support healing from trauma.
