How and when we gather:

Connect
God calls us together to create God’s version of family that celebrates life’s victories; cares for one another during life’s difficulties; builds each other up with encouragement; strengthens one another during times of weakness; and keeps us focused on our identity as God’s unique Children.
Connecting with the larger community takes place when we worship together or have larger events such as meals and celebrating people in our community. However, real connection takes place in smaller groups such as a study group that meets every Sunday morning at 10:00 as well as a Men’s Group that meets every third Thursday at 10:00 am.
But the greatest way to connect with others and your faith is by being a part of a Discipleship Group. You may join a group that currently exists, or we can create one to meet your needs during a day and time the fits your schedule. Within these groups, faith relationships are built and deepened, caregiving is experienced, understanding faith issues and Scriptures are studied and discussed, and finding your place, your ministry, and your purpose in life is explored.
