Small Groups are groups of 8 - 16 adults that allow us time to fellowship, pray, and discuss the worship sermon message. We also have opportunities in our small groups to minister to one another to meet spiritual, physical, and emotional needs. In short, it is where we do life together.

Meeting in the library

Duration: ~12 weeks - begins March 17th

Materials Needed: Bible; Study Guide will be available but is optional (donations accepted)

Intended audience: Women of all ages

The people we read about in Scripture faced many of the same challenges we do today. By observing how biblical characters brought their fears and frustrations to God, we can learn to do the same. Filled with encouragement and truth, this study will remind us that God's character and presence can give us strength to face any difficulty.

Join us as we delve into Scripture, finding help, hope, and refreshment for our souls.

Meeting upstairs in room 214

Duration: TBD - begins April 28th

Materials Needed: book: Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers by John Owen (see Clayton for specific edition), Bible

Intended audience: Men of all ages

John Owen's classic work, Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers, is essentially a hundred-page treatise/commentary on Romans 8:13 - "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live (KJV)." He utilizes extensive scriptural support to build his case that lifelong warfare against sin is critical to the vitality of the Christian life. We'll read a portion of Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers each week, and discuss it as a group on Sunday.

Note from Clayton: I've got books on order - I've found a version that translates the old English to modern English. If you let me know you'll be joining us, I'll do my best to have the required number on hand for the April 28 launch!

Following "The Deconstruction of Christianity" video series by Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett, we'll learn what deconstruction is, the roots of the movement, why it is compelling to some, and how it disrupts the lives of so many, as well as explore wise and loving ways to respond from a Biblical worldview.
