SMALL GROUPS
FIND YOUR PEOPLE
Our heart is for every person in our church to be rooted in Biblical community – having support and encouragement in friendships and growing authentically together in faith. The bigger our church gets, the more important it is that it also becomes smaller, to create space where people can truly connect and grow together. Our small groups include general and family groups, as well as demographic related groups for men, women, seniors, singles, young adults and youth. Joining a group is easy – just check out our groups below, pick the one(s) you are interested in, and click “sign up”. We are ready to welcome you in!

EVERY SEASON
LEADER
Claire Thompson
ABOUT
Finding God in Every Season of Life. Every Season is open to all seniors 55+, especially for those navigating the changes and challenges that can come with this season of life—caregiving, grief, retirement, downsizing, family changes, or simply finding your way through something new. We’ll gather over a cup of tea or coffee, enjoy friendship and conversation, and encourage one another. Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3 and its reminder that there is a time for everything, we’ll be reminded that God is not finished with us. Every new season brings opportunities to grow deeper in our faith, discover new purpose, and use our stories and experiences to encourage and help others along the way.

SENIORS BIBLE STUDY
LEADER
Feng Lett
ABOUT
Seniors, this fall we are doing a study on the minor prophets of the Old Testament. These 12 books are referred to as minor not because they are less important, but shorter in length than the major prophets. They are rich in messianic prophecy, expressions of God’s love for everyone, and his calling to his people to live lives of love and fidelity. Come join us as we dive into these lesser known books of the Bible!
START DATE >>> October 1
