MIDWEEK


Learn, grow, and connect outside of Sundays.


ANCHORED

Next group kicks off September 10, 2025

Anchored is a comprehensive discipleship opportunity to root you in the story of scripture, basics of belief, and holy habits essential to living a life on mission for God. This 24-week discipleship course (12 weeks in fall and 12 in spring) will equip and disciple people into a greater love and knowledge of God. The video-based training includes a clear scope of discipleship and integrated curriculum which balances Christian story (Bible literacy), Christian belief (theological literacy), and Christian formation (spiritual disciplines).

re:generation

Next group kicks off September 14, 2025
Sundays | 10:30 AM | rooms 317-319

re:generation helps us become more like Jesus through the vehicle of a 12-Step program. Key differences between re:generation and other recovery ministries include: daily lessons, emphasis on spiritual disciplines, integration with the church, and no separation based on struggle. This is deeper than 12 steps: it is learning biblical ways to grow and overcome destructive thoughts and habits.

GriefShare

New group starting September 3, 2025
Wednesday evenings | 6-8 PM | Room 300
Group facilitators: Steve and Jeanette Stallings
Book cost: Free!

After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues and you feel alone. Often, friends and family want to help you, but don't know how. That's the reason for GriefShare. Our group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and have successfully rebuilt their lives. We understand how you feel because we've been in the same place. We will walk with you on the long path through grief toward healing and hope for the future.
