We are passionate about encouraging people to enter into an intentional community, where they can gather, learn, serve, care and explore their faith in a safe and trusting environment. Belonging to a healthy small group is one way to experience the fullness of God, when we can be real and relevant with each other. Our small groups meet throughout the week in homes and on campus, with groups ranging from 6 to 12 people who meet regularly to balance the four ministry engagement initiatives (Worship, Connect, Serve, Invest).

6:00 PM: Co-Ed Bible Study/Small Group: We will be studying “Every Thought Captive” by Kyle Idleman. Are your thoughts drawing you closer to God or pulling you away? Are they building you up or tearing you down? Like molten glass, our lives are constantly being shaped and molded by our thoughts. Join Kyle Idleman in this five-session video Bible study (video access included) as he forges a path through the world’s distractions and lies and gets to the heart of true spiritual growth: the renewing of your mind. This isn’t a study on the power of positive thinking but about learning how God made your brain. Learn how setting your thoughts on Christ can create new patterns of thought that will change your life.
Thursdays
Women’s
10 AM – Winsome Classroom. We will be studying “Heaven” by Jennifer Rothschild. In this 7-session video-based study, Jennifer Rothschild explores the subject of Heaven from a biblical perspective. She will separate what’s true about Heaven from what’s based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses. As you walk through the study, you’ll not only gain a deeper understanding of what God has prepared for His children, but also learn how to live with confidence today as you look forward to the glorious unending that awaits. Don’t just wonder about Heaven—embrace it with a faith that turns anticipation into excitement and peace.
