GROUPS AND CLASSES

ANCHORED


Anchored is a discipleship initiative that weaves together the biblical story, Christian doctrine, and spiritual formation. Its goal is simple but transformative: to equip followers of Jesus to know and love Him deeply, love others, and make Him known. As you journey through the unfolding story of Scripture alongside others, your understanding of who God is deepens—and so does your love for Him. That love begins to reshape your life, aligning your habits, relationships, and purpose with His. The natural result? A growing desire to love others and live on mission.
