One of the ways we experience God's love for us is through each other, by walking through life together, sharing joys, sorrows and everything in between. In groups of two or more, we explore God's Word, asking questions that challenge and change us, so we can live as God's people, in God's world. We are preparing our hearts to live out our mission of becoming living proof of God's love, one person at a time.
SMALL GROUPS — A small group is one of the best places to grow in your faith. This is intentional gathering with a few other people
that allows you to explore the purpose and power of Christ in your life. Typically, a small group meets weekly for fellowship, study, prayer and reflection.
START WITH A NEW GROUP | Register to engage in an 8-week startup small group.
START YOUR OWN SMALL GROUP | It only takes a few people that share the desire to help prepare one another's hearts to become living proof of God's love to start a small group. Contact Brandon Dirks.
In addition to being involved in a small group, we encourage adults to engage in classes and studies that equip you with three crucial skills: recognizing, nurturing and articulating God's love. We invite you to explore our wide variety of class and study opportunities.
Men's Lunch with special guest WAVE-3 News Anchor John Boel
Whenever Jesus got a few hundred people together, he didn’t just drop wisdom on them. He fed them—MEAT! (Okay, it was fish, but you get the idea). Come and gather with men of all ages and stages for ribs, smoked chicken and all the fixin's! Men are so busy with work, marriage, kids, staying in shape, volunteering that we have let developing meaningful connections with other men slide. Studies have shown that if you want a healthy life, marriage, body, and faith…forming close male relationships is absolutely critical—and it reflects God’s design for our lives. So make this luncheon a priority in your schedule! A great event to invite the men and older boys you mentor or father!
Wave 3 News Anchor John Boel will be our guest and sharing his life-and-death story of how deep relationships with other men made all the difference. We hope to inspire and invite men into a deeper relationship with Christ by connecting to our Summer Ironman gathering of men. There is a suggested donation of $12.00 and Pre-Registration is needed to ensure plenty of MEAT!
Every woman deserves a group who will walk with them in a life of faith! Gather this summer with women of all ages to explore five strong-willed women from Genesis who show how abundantly God loves all his daughters, flaws and all. Experience the amazing teaching of Liz Curtis Higgs via video and heart-lifting discussions with fellow sisters of faith, and you may just discover some new friends in this journey of faith long after the summer is over!
Wednesdays June 5 –July 31, 6:15-7:45pm in the Fellowship Hall. Liz Curtis Higgs will kick off the event on June 5 and close the study on July 31. The cost of the event is $12, and it includes the book Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible. Pick up your books at the church or at the promotional table on Sunday, May 12 when Liz Curtis Higgs preaches on Mother’s Day. Childcare is provided for pre-registrants, and activities are also available for children and youth.
