We love to laugh, we love to pray. We like to barbeque and drink good beer. We are individuals who recognize that we are no more loved by God than the stranger riding next to us on the subway. We are musicians, doctors, grad students, accountants, waiters, attorneys and such. We enjoy a good debate and learning something new. We rent movies and don’t watch them because we’d rather talk to each other. Our friends include Jews and agnostics, gays and lesbians, republicans and democrats, activists and pacifists. Distinctions between secular and sacred aren’t so clear to us. We take our faith seriously but ourselves lightly. We want to know how you’re doing – really.
Focus of Next is FAPC’s large-group fellowship of men and women in their 20s and 30s committed to developing a sense of belonging and growth within our community of faith. Contact:

Each season we put together teams for various sports, from softball in the summer to dodgeball and football in the fall, and soccer and basketball in the winter. We play against other teams of young professionals in the city, and enjoy some healthy competition while getting to know each other as teammates and as people.
