Whether you’re looking for a refresher on Bible basics or hoping to grow in your understanding of Scripture and how it applies to everyday life, this 8-week journey is for you. We’ll be using the “How to Find God” NLT Bible. Free copies are available in the church lobby on Sundays or in the office during the week. No registration needed.
Whether you are currently leading a small group or considering starting one, this class is for you. We will explore different group types and structures, as well as the roles people play within a group—both assigned and unassigned. Together, we will discover practical strategies for fostering engagement, encouragement, and growth, and we will have the opportunity to practice what we learn along the way. No registration is needed.
This is a 4-week class designed to help participants offer compassionate support to individuals during life’s most difficult moments. Attendees will gain tools to walk alongside those who may be experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, loss, and uncertainty, and to foster hope and resilience while honoring each person’s unique journey with empathy and grace. No registration is needed.
