WEEKLY COMMUNITY GROUPS
MEN’S group
THURSDAYS | 6:30-8PM | ROOM 216
Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone, but for men there can be a natural habit of going at it alone. We want to change that! Through building connection with other guys, studying Scripture, having meaningful conversations, and throwing in some laughter, we can journey together toward Jesus. This is an open group—no registration needed, and you can join in at any time.
MOM’S group
Tuesdays | 9:30-11:30am | beginning sept 15
Motherhood is one of the most important—and sometimes most overwhelming—seasons of life. Moms Group is here to help you discover Christ-centered hope, deep connection, and genuine friendship along the way. Whether you’ve just had your first baby or you’re navigating teenagers, we’ve got a place for you! Register for this next session and enjoy time together for breakfast, prayer, small-group time, fun activities, and inspiring teaching.
Women’s Community
Tuesdays | 6:30-8pm | beginning sept 15
We weren’t meant to follow Jesus alone. Women especially flourish when we grow together, encourage one another, and sharpen one another. We'll gather together on Tuesday evenings as one large group before moving into smaller table communities for meaningful discussion, prayer, and learning. Women of all ages are welcome—whether you’re just starting to explore faith or you’ve been walking with Jesus for years.
YOUNG ADULTS: 25-30
TUESDAYS | 6:30-8PM | BEGINNING SEPT 8
Whether you're building your career, single, engaged, newly married, or just figuring out this stage of young-adult life, this group is a place to meet people who get it. Connect, grow in your faith, and find a place to do life together as we explore Scripture, have real conversations, and encourage each other along the way.
