Fall Semester of Small Groups has begun!

 Small groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us.
**One of our newest groups that you might want to check out is our “Parenting on Purpose” group.  This group mainly uses video curriculum from Pastor Chris Hodges.  The series will take you through practical steps and equip you to be intentional with your parenting.

Pray First

Saturday mornings bring a great way to start the weekend out right!  Come to the Upper Room, from 7:30am-8:30am, where a Small Group focused on prayer has begun.  Connect to the Source of Life, while connecting with each other!

Any 7th Graders-High School age students looking for a time of connecting, discussing God’s Word and all He has for your life, are welcome to join Encounter!  This group meets on Thursday nights beginning at 7pm, at the Maxon home.
