Group Ministry
We believe God created us to live in authentic community and only then can we live the life He intends for us. Joining a group will connect you to the meaningful and life-changing relationships we all need. By sharing meals together, praying together, studying the Bible together, and serving the community together, participation in group ministry will allow you live out the mission of loving God, loving others, and making disciples.

There is a war on. Our enemy is on the prowl. He is looking to devour us. He is looking to devour everyone. We need to be ready. We need to be in right relationship with Jesus. We need to build the foundation of our lives on who Jesus is and what Jesus has done. We need to live our lives out of the wonder of the saving gift Jesus gave us.
That puts us on the front lines in this great and cosmic battle with the enemy. And, as soldiers in that battle, we need to fulfill our mission, the Great Commission. We need to follow the rules of engagement, the Great Commandment. We need to pursue a life of holiness in Jesus’ name. That is what we are saved for. That is what life on this earth is all about. That is our role in this spiritual war we are in the middle of.
Covering seven weeks with five days of study per week, “Wholly His” explores God’s call to live as people who have been made holy through Christ even as they daily commit themselves to live out that holiness in ways that will impact their families, friends, places of work, communities, and the world.

Community Groups
Community Groups meet weekly for 12-week semesters and are built around four expectations, which we call the ABCDs:
Accountability:
Participants can expect to be held accountable by inviting people into your life to challenge you in your faith, priorities, and relationships.
Belonging:
Participants can expect to belong to something where they feel accepted, connected, and comfortable with a group of people.
Care:
Participants can expect to be cared for by one another. In turn, participants can expect to care for those outside their group through a group service opportunity each semester.
Discipleship:
Participants can expect to engage in prayer and study of the Bible to help them live out the Christian faith.
