Seasonal Study


Be a Godly Man

A 5-Week in-person Men’s Study - Wednesday nights at 7pm at the church, beginning June 17 and concluding on July 15.

In this video Bible study series, Pastor Joby Martin invites men to embrace God's definition of masculinity and to step into His calling upon their lives to wield their strength on behalf of others.

Ongoing Studies


Daytime Ladies Bible Study - This study is currently on a summer break, but will launch a new study on August 5, 2026. Watch for details!

JOY Ladies daytime Bible Study meets on the first, second, and fourth (and fifth, when applicable) Wednesdays monthly (August - November and January - May) at 10:00am in the Choir Room. JOY offers a facilitated, interactive study format. The purpose of this small group setting is to connect with others in both a social and study atmosphere. Friendships are made and there is accountability. There is an additional social element that goes along with this study group - lunch at a local restaurant following the study time, if you choose to participate! Invite a neighbor or friend to engage in JOY. All ladies are welcome! Contact Bobbye Raye Kennison at  careybrk@comcast.net for more information.


Ladies Bible Study Fellowship Class - This study is currently on a summer break, but will kick off a new study in August. Watch for details!

Norcross First GMC is happy to host this class which meets weekly during the school year. (This study follows the Gwinnett County Public School calendar.) The next study will be on the book of Romans. Weekly leaders' meetings (Tuesdays) and group lecture and class time (Thursdays) make up this study option. For more information on this ladies group study, contact by email -  bsfnorcross@gmail.com.


Weekly Men's Bible Study - This study is currently on a summer break, but will kick off a new study on August 6, 2026. Watch for details!

This men's group meets off-site at Berkeley Hills Country Club, Thursdays weekly at 11:45am. This group is intentional in "staying in the Word". Lunch, purchased at the Club individually, is part of this weekly group dynamic. Contact Tom Waits at  waitsengrg@charter.net for more information.


Young Adult Bible Study - This study is currently on a summer break, but will kick off a new study in August. Watch for details!

A Bible Study specifically for young adults (ages 20 - 35) meets on Thursdays weekly from 6:30 - 7:30pm at the church (Room 134). This is an interactive discussion study. All young adults are welcome and encouraged to join! For details, contact Charis Stanfield at  Stanfield.Charis@gmail.com.


Adult Spanish Bible Study

Pastor Robert Viera leads a Bible Study for adult Spanish-speakers weekly on Wednesday evening 7:00 - 8:00pm in the Conference Room. This is a great opportunity for parents to have their children involved in Club 3:16 and themselves in a Bible Study at the same time! Anyone who speaks and understands Spanish will benefit from this small group discussion study. Contact Robert at robert@norcrossfirst.org for details on the current study.

Women's Ministry


Women’s Ministry - We believe that two are better than one. Based on that, our women’s ministry seeks to create a nurturing and uplifting community where women can share their journeys, learn from each other and grow both personally and spiritually.


Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges, experiences and needs women encounter while also providing us the opportunity to use whatever gifts we have received to minister to others and one another.


We currently have the following ongoing ministries:

  • Clothing Closet:  supporting our community and mission trips
  • Card Ministry:  supporting our homebound and military
  • Library Food Ministry:  supporting those in our community with food insecurity

All women of our church and community are welcome to join us as Sisters of the ‘CROSS. For more information, please contact Sharon Grahn at smgrahn@comcast.net

Men's Ministry

Men of the ‘CROSS is our men’s ministry at Norcross First. We believe that God wants us to be more than just a works-based ministry and to be more relational in our discipling of men. We seek to be a Christ-centered ministry to support, encourage and walk alongside other men as we 'do life’ together; sharing the love of Jesus with others and obeying God's Word.


Our vision statement is as follows:


Building a Community of Godly Men, by Intentionally Developing Relationships and Making Disciples One Man at a Time.


In keeping with this vision, Men of the ‘CROSS offers a variety of different events, speakers, small group Bible studies, service opportunities and times for fellowship as we seek to follow God’s direction to bring us together as a community of men. We hope every man in the church will be involved. Look for announcements of Men of the ‘CROSS events on the church website, the weekly newsletter and in direct emails to all the men of the church.
