Small groups are small communities of people who gather regularly for prayer, study and friendship. Meeting regularly in community is a way we live out our commitments to serve God in community, pray for one another, support one another, and critically think about questions of faith. Some small groups meet for short intervals (4-5 weeks) and some meet more regularly (see below on special interest small groups). If you are new, please consider a small group. None of our groups are closed and new people regularly join.

All Church Bible Study Begins February 22nd

What if...

...our picture of the Last Supper was wrong?

...you had stood at the foot of the cross with Mary?

...Judas had lived to be forgiven by Jesus?

What if Jesus' final day came to life before your eyes?

Join us each Wednesday during Lent for a study of Adam Hamilton's 24 Hours That Changed the World. Each week you'll have the opportunity to explore the final day of Jesus' life while growing deeper in faith and forming strong connections to other believers.
