First A.G. Church, Port Jervis

Our purpose is helping people live God-centered lives founded on biblical truth.

We do this as a church in four progressive ways….Connect - Grow - Serve - Reach.

1) Connect - Sunday service is a place where all can connect with God, His Word, and His Church. Messages will typically be biblical, uncompromised, and application-focused so that each person, believer or not, can leave with something of God's Word to apply to their lives that day and that week.
We will be diligent to follow up with those who attend for the first time. Soon we will be offering a four week "GrowthWay" for potential members and new believers.

2) Grow: Growth Groups - The process of developing a Christ-centered life, does not happen in large gatherings on a Sunday and it does not happen when we are alone. Relationships are essential to spiritual growth. "Growth Groups" are small groups where you can build relationships, grow in Christ and pray with others. It is our model for growing as devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

3) Serve: Finding your place of service inside church. - Each of us has gifts intended to serve Christ and His church. We help each person discover and find a place to use their God given gifts to serve others in the church and the community.

4) Reach: Finding your place of mission outside the church, by serving in our outreaches to the community and by recognizing your calling in your neighborhood, school and at your workplace.

This is all built upon our values of: 1) Christ being the center of our lives and our church community. 2) Family being the healthy way we relate to one another. 3) A healthy relational community is what we become so we can give and serve those around us.
