About this church
First Church of God offers Sunday School from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. for ages two and older, followed by worship at 11 both in person and online. Children's Church meets in the lower auditorium during worship. The schedule also names Monday Bible study, Wednesday midday and evening prayer, and food distributions, but does not publish clear times for every gathering; Wednesday distribution is listed at 9:30 a.m. on the first and third Wednesdays. The church's care-group mission is to reach the Rockaways and beyond by developing mature disciples among people who are not yet connected to church.
The congregation traces its roots to home prayer meetings begun by local women in 1909. Its history emphasizes discipleship and community service, including disaster relief, food support during the pandemic, a pantry, prayer groups, children's ministry, and audiovisual service. Kingdom Kids currently serves ages five through seventeen with worship songs, games, crafts, and practical Bible lessons; volunteers must pass a criminal background check. Kingdom Seekers supports ages thirteen through eighteen in prayer, faith formation, service, and Christian community. Public pages do not state worship length or style, Communion or baptism practices, nursery care, child check-in, dress, parking, physical and hearing access, or full weekday times. Families should also confirm how the overlapping published age ranges operate on a particular Sunday.
