once again this summer we are going to try something different with our groups. instead of our usual setup, we are going to offer topical studies that will last three weeks each. there will be 3 rounds, so over the course of the summer you will be able to attend 3 different studies. so basically you just email your top choices to we will get in touch with you to pass on the details.

financial stewardship
feel like you’re bad with money? well, you are not alone, and that can definitely change. this class will take a look at what the scriptures say about money, as well as some various ways those principles can be applied. that will all lead to some practical ways to help you become a better steward of what He has entrusted to you.

spiritual formation and our feelings
fear, anxiety, worry, depression... how do you take control of these? we all face them at different times, and there is no reason these emotions should get the better of us. this group will dig deep into these issues, focusing on what Jesus had to say about them and how to apply that to our lives, shaping this aspect of life into the image of Christ.

developing a missional life
being “missional” is about learning how to connect your day-to-day life, every aspect of it, to what God is doing in our world today. this group will take this from being a big concept to breaking it down so that each person can come away with one small thing to be missional about in their daily lives.

missional living gets practical
the more faithful we are to live missionally, the more we will find ourselves helping people deal with the ‘big’ things in life. and we need to be prepared to respond and walk with them through these times. this class will explore how to handle things such as death & grief, when someone confides in you about something really serious, and other situations you may face when ministering to those you live and work with.

learning a life of humility
we will walk together through a study of what it is to be humble and walk this life in humility as Christ, himself, walked. we'll study biblical examples and also look into texts from Andrew Murray and C.J. Mahaney to pursue what it means to walk in a way that is contrary to the prideful arrogance that so many of us have fostered in our lives until now.

life in the kingdom
‘the kingdom of God’ is one of the great realities we live in as Christians, but we all need to have a deeper understanding of what life in the kingdom is all about. it is a constant them in the Bible, and was a foundational teaching of Jesus’ ministry, so it only makes sense for us to dig into it more deeply. this class will look at the kingdom as presented and taught in the scriptures, and discuss the many ways this impacts daily life and faith.

abiding in Christ
abide in Christ. we talk about it often, but when you read John 15 it seems as though we can’t talk about it enough. this group will look at abiding from various angles, and specifically look at the crucial role that prayer and the scriptures play in keeping us where we need to be. if you want to deepen these practices, but don’t know where to start, this is the class for you.

wrestling with community
we know we are in this together, but sometimes that can be a difficult thing to walk out. this class will examine biblical community and discuss the many issues that come up when trying to live life together such as boundaries, fair and unfair expectations, and what to do when your friends let you down.

our theological foundations
we need to know what we believe, why we believe it, and how to communicate that to others. seems easy enough, but while our faith is rather simple, it can also be complex at the same time. in this class we will examine some theological issues historically, and then look at how they impact daily life in Christ and in ministry.

holy matrimony
our husbands and wives meet separately each month, but this will be a time for them to attend a marriage-focused group together. we will look at what the Bible says about marriage, and tackle some subjects that are sure to benefit the marriages in our church. this is open to all married and engaged couples, and is intentionally designed for you to attend together.
