Growing Together
Deepening Our Faith in Jesus…Together.
Psalm 1:2-3
What is Growing Together?
Growing Together is our midweek discipleship track for all ages. Each week, we gather into what we call Growth Groups that are organized by age and stage of life and are designed to help everyone grow as followers of Jesus Christ. From preschoolers to senior adults - we want to provide a space where we are looking into God’s word along with other helpful yet Biblically sound resources so that we can grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Growth Groups take place on Wednesday nights from
6:30 to 7:45 PM. There are growth groups for children,
teenagers, and adults. During the fall, winter, and
spring, each growth group will cover various topics
that are age-appropriate and applicable to each stage of life. In the summer, all three groups will cover the same subject matter but from an age-appropriate perspective. This creates opportunities for family-oriented conversation and discipleship in the home.
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”

Men’s Ministry - What Jesus Demands From the World
A thoughtful examination of Jesus' demands reveals a compelling yet personal portrait of Jesus Christ in the Scriptures. The four Gospels are filled with demands like "be born again," "love your God," and "lay up treasures." Far from harsh demands originating from a selfish desire to control, Jesus' words are more a clarion call of urgency—loving directions for our good and ultimate satisfaction. In fact, what Jesus demands from the world can be summed up as, "Trust and treasure me above all." This is good news!
Do you wonder what's next? Has your faith grown stagnant? Is your spiritual walk in a dry season? Are you interested in knowing Jesus more deeply? This study serves as an accessible introduction for thoughtful inquirers and new believers, as well as a refreshing reminder for more mature believers of God's plan for His Son's glory and our good.

Women’s Ministry - Hosea
Education Building - Classroom 2
The book of Hosea—it’s a deeply personal and passionate love story, yet it’s a difficult story. As an account full of harsh judgment unfolds, we find in its midst a rare and pure gem: the truest and purest of loves.
Hosea, an Old Testament prophet, preached his own life message using his marriage as the sermon illustration. The study of Hosea looks deeply at that message. In this 7-session Bible study, Jennifer Rothschild provides background to better understand the intricacies of the man and his message. You’ll be guided to understand, but more especially to apply the message of the prophet of love.
The book will challenge us with judgment so harsh it will singe our hair—an unheeded sermon warning of devastating doom shortly to come. But it will show us the kind of love we dream about. Be amazed by the love of Hosea for his wayward spouse—and more amazed by the unfailing love of God for His wayward people, and for all people. Hosea showers us with hope—hints and portents pointing to the coming of the promised Messiah.

Turning Darkness into Light One Conversation at a Time
When Jesus commissioned his disciples to go and make disciples, he invited all his followers—including us—to join his work in the world. As followers of Christ, we have the best news that everyone needs. But are we sharing it? In this series, we are encouraged to embrace our identity as ”gospelers,“ ready and able to share the good news of Jesus. We don't need to preach to share the gospel; we simply need to have meaningful conversations.
Expository Bible Study - Saved By Grace: A Study on the Doctrine of Salvation
Church Sanctuary
Of all the doctrines in Scripture, the one that most often confuses and divides is the doctrine of salvation. For centuries debate has existed amongst God’s people when it comes to this issue.
In this class led by Pastor Sam, we will take a historical look at the doctrine as well as examine scripture to see what God’s Word has to say.
