deeper

Together we go deeper in our knowledge and understanding.

Life is full of opportunities to grow stronger and better. As followers of Christ, we devote ourselves to His teachings, and to helping others learn more about Jesus.

CONNECT WITH A SMALL GROUP

We believe small groups are a vital part of our community. It's where we build strong, life-long relationships. It's where we learn, grow, and get stronger together. It's the place where we bring prayer and study to our neighborhoods. We believe in doing life together, and would love for you to be a part.

Sunday School

One of the more traditional forms of small groups is the Sunday School class. Our Sunday morning small groups are thriving and nurturing their members to grow in faith and service.

"I had a great weekend, the worship was awesome, and I met a lot of new people,"

That's a quote from one of our youth group participants that gets to the heart of this vital part of our ministry work. Director of Youth Ministries Christina Koeppel lovingly challenges our teens to be all that they can be for Jesus, while experiencing the deep things of faith through even the most light-hearted of activities. Our young people don't just express faith, they practice it through serving others and growing deeper in their love for Jesus.
