A Place for Growth
Study Group
Foundations
Sundays, Oct 5-Nov 9: 6-7:30pm
Following Jesus is a beautiful and crazy journey, and we are here to equip you with tools to help you along your journey. Through this Foundations six-week study group, we'll learn about the basics of the Bible and provide a roadmap to help you engage in Scriptures and grow in your faith. We'll also explore tools for building a healthy devotional life and discover fresh ways to engage with Jesus. You will find a safe place here to ask questions while also growing in a community.
