Sunday Morning Life Groups
Our vision is to help people look to Jesus and look like Jesus. Through gathering with other Christians for mutual support, Bible study, shared mission and ministry, our Sunday morning life groups lead people through meeting Jesus, learning Jesus’ message and living out their calling in the world.
All groups meet on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. unles noted.

A Life Group is a small group of 8-12 people who meet weekly (by Zoom right now, but typically in homes) to build relationships, grow spiritually, and share in life together. Whatever age or stage of life you are in, Life Groups are a place where you can connect deeply with God and one another. For more information, email Steve Moomau (steve_moomau@yahoo.com).

Pastor-Led
Bible Studies
Simply Christian
Join us for a Bible study on Wednesday mornings from 10:30-11:45 am beginning September 21. The leader is Senior Pastor Tom Palmer. This will be a study of Simply Christian. Like C. S. Lewis did in his classic Mere Christianity, N.T. Wright makes the case for Christian faith for modern readers. Using clear, simple language to convey a profound message, Wright walks the reader through the Christian faith step-by-step and question by question, and reveals how basic inquiries such as Why is justice fair? Why are so many people pursuing spirituality? Why do we crave relationship? And why is beauty so beautiful? Simply Christian takes us into the mystery of God and God’s plan for us and offers compelling reasons for renewed faith. Class will meet in the Library.
Some gently used books are available (free) for use during the study upon request, new books ordered through the church are $15, payable the first day of class.
