EVENTS
Building Community
Our Discipleship Pathways program is offering another class!!! Building Community is an eight-week class that meets during the first service at 9:00 am. We will cover:
Why we need to choose community by learning six theological truths related to who God is and who we are.
What community is by being more than a choice – it is a pattern of living which consistently chooses relationships.
What inhibits the development of it by understanding that the influence of our culture has caused us to adopt certain tendencies that inhibit the development of community, and
How we can experience community.
Community is such a vital part of Christianity, and we want to invite each one of you to take a deeper look at how to integrate this into your life.
Fresh Start Class
Have you been a Christian for a while but feel like you missed some foundational teachings? Are you new to Christianity and want to know what’s next? Are you feeling lost in your relationship with God? Did you maybe take a detour in your faith?
If any of these are true, we have a new Discipleship Pathway class launching on November 1st called Fresh Start. Fresh Start is an eight-week course that meets at 11:00am during the second service. We will cover nine foundational stones upon which believers can build the rest of their lives.
We want to help you to better understand the story of how God has redeemed you so that you can give that story as a gift to others. Whether you are a new believer or want to better understand what a relationship with Jesus looks like, this course is for you!

Women's Mid-Morning Bible Study
“None of the good promises the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed. Everything was fulfilled.” Joshua 21:45
The book of Joshua chronicles God’s continuing faithfulness to fulfill His covenant promises to Abraham. It is a book of transitions, in which Joshua rises to leadership and the people of God step across the Jordan into the long-awaited land of promise. The task of possessing the land will test the limits of their strength and their courage, but God’s covenant will not fail them. And Joshua’s faithful example will whisper toward the perfect faithfulness of Christ Himself.
In this 10-session, verse-by-verse study of the book of Joshua, Jen Wilkin helps us see how God’s commands, though sometimes difficult, are always rooted in His steadfast love for His people. Israel’s story is our story. We battle not against flesh and blood as they did, but we courageously war against the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, trusting in the finished work of the true and better Joshua, Jesus Christ.
Women's Early-Morning Bible Study
Join us for an early-morning study through the book of Joshua! This group meets from 6 - 8 am at Pam Behal's house, for a time of deep study and reflection. Purchasing Jenn Wilkin's study book will be helpful, but it is not required. While there is no childcare for this group, the meeting does have coffee and a light breakfast.
