Worship Service Sundays: 10:30 am
Besides the healthy habits of being 'Alone with God', 'Serving with Power', and 'Celebrating with Worship', we are committed to 'Grow with Groups' in our pursuit of following Jesus!
Not only are small groups the primary way through which we grow in Christlikeness, they can also be effective in engaging others in the journey with Jesus! And so, our main focus during the fall, winter and spring is on small group ministry.
With different people being at different places on their journey with Jesus, we work hard to provide groups with a wide variety of themes and topics.
That said, during the fall of 2024, we have encouraged our small groups to be part of an initiative called 'Practicing the Way'. Our Sunday message will align with the small group curriculum and will give participants the opportunity to grow in their following of Jesus.
Please CONTACT US if you're interested in joining a group, and we will do our best to connect you to the right people!

The modern church is facing a crisis of discipleship.
It’s not that people don’t want to become like Jesus, or that people aren’t trying to become like Jesus. It’s that we don’t know how to become like Jesus. We need a pathway to formation for the modern era and this course provides it!
Youth Group - will resume this fall
6:30-8:30 pm
Leaders: Mike & Kyla Whalen
Description: Our focus is on discipleship, forming and building relationships, where we may learn and grow together to become like Christ.
