Life change happens in the context of relationships

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.

Growth Groups

Our Growth Groups are designed to educate, equip, and empower you to become the disciple of Jesus you are called to be.

Nehemiah - Discovering God's Dream for You

This Growth Group meets on Wednesdays at 7:00pm from January 15-April 9.

What is your destiny? What is God’s dream for you? This Growth Group will walk you through the book of Nehemiah and answer the questions necessary to discover the purpose God has for your life. Join this Growth Group on Wednesdays at 7:00pm and take the first step toward the future God has in store!

The Way of Holiness

This Growth Group meets on Wednesdays at 7:00pm from August 20-November 5.

The diligent Christian, searching for a pathway to meaningful spiritual formation, often finds a confusing tangle of pathways and intersections. All of them claim to offer the spiritual guidance you need to follow Christ most effectively. But do they?

There is a well-worn, proven pathway Christians can walk in their effort to live and serve like Jesus, but it is not the most popular or well-known. In fact, it is often forgotten. But those who travel it soon find the Spirit of God is at work transforming their lives. It is The Way of Holiness.

In this powerful 12-week study, you’ll be guided along the way on this well-worn path that leads to life as Jesus intended it. Along the way, he:

  • exposes some false detours from the way of holiness
  • offers a practical definition of repentance that brings joy
  • identifies the stages on the journey of growth in holiness
  • provides a realistic and practical look at the process and pathway that leads to holiness.

Join us on Wednesdays at 7pm and take the next steps on your journey to holiness today.

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.

Underhill Group

Sundays 6-8:00pm – March 9-May 11

This Community Group, led by Charles and Debra Underhill, meets at Matt and Amy Bolling’s home in Northeast Lincoln.

This group is sermon-based and will dive deeper into the Sunday morning sermons and the biblical text to learn more, discuss application, and encourage one another to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Smith Group

Mondays 6-8:00pm – March 10-May 12

This Community Group, led by Pastor Brian and Jennifer, meets at their home in Northeast Lincoln and will be engaging in a study on the Beatitudes.

What does it mean to be blessed? And, more importantly, how do we become someone who is blessed? The kind of life God is calling us to may not look the way we imagined, but it will be better than we could have hoped.

In this eight-session series, we’ll walk through the Beatitudes and discover what it means to live in the kingdom of God. Through Jesus’s teaching, learn what the blessed life really looks like.

Here are a few things to note:
– limited to 8 participants
– must be able to climb stairs (the home is on the 2nd story)
– kids are welcome

– there is a dog in the home

D-Groups

D-Groups are gender-specific groups consisting of three to five people who meet weekly for interactive Bible reading, accountability and prayer for the lost. These groups provide a space for people to experience genuine accountability, confession of sin, deeper study of Scripture and deeper spiritual growth.
