As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
Small groups are an integral part of our church. Every week you’ll find people gathering in various places to do life together. As groups meet they are committed to the 7 Core Practices of Discipleship.
These 7 Core Practices equip us to be disciples who make disciples for Jesus! People are welcome to join a group at any time.

Adult Ministries
Sunday School
10:00am - 11:00am
We offer many options for educational opportunities for adults on Sunday mornings. Whether you're interested in a certain topic of study, a specific age group or diving in deep to a particular book of the Bible, we have many choices for adult classes. These classes are always open to newcomers.
Wednesday Nights
Starts back up in August
Meal: 5:15pm - 6:00pm
Classes: 6:00pm - 7:30pm
Wednesday nights are a great time to re-charge during the week by joining together for the Gathering meal, then heading off to either a class or a small group. Chidcare is provided, and classes for every age (kids, students, and adults) are available.
Micro-Groups
Various Times & Locations
Our small groups follow the 7 Core Practices and meet in all different kinds of locations, times, and demographics. Some small groups are all women, some are all men, some meet weekly, and some meet seasonally. Newcomers are always welcome!

WHEN YOU PRAY
Kelly Minter, Jackie Hill Perry, Jen Wilkin, Jennifer Rothschild, Jada Edwards, Kristi McLelland
Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.
In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.
Features:
· Group discussion
· 6 weeks of personal study to be completed between 7 group sessions
· Teaching videos, approximately 25-40 minutes, via redemption code printed in the Bible study book
Benefits:
· Explore the different types of prayer modeled in Scripture.
· Understand how prayer unites believers to God and to one another.
· Learn how to overcome struggles that keep you from talking to God.
Cost is $25 for a book.
Scholarships are available! Contact Dana McLain at [email protected].
If you need childcare, please contact Danielle Jones at [email protected].
Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. (begins September 19)
Wednesdays at 9:15 a.m. (begins September 20)
