Unlike the other Gospels, John presents a distinct and deeply theological portrait of Jesus. Written so that "you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name" (John 20:31), this book emphasizes Jesus' divine nature, His pre-existence, and His role as the light and life of the world. Explore its compelling narrative, symbolic language, and powerful testimonies that call us to a deeper relationship with God.
Using discoveries from his own life and backing them with scripture, Eldredge reminds men that although their childhood passions, dreams, and desires may start getting buried under deadlines, pressures, and disappointments, it doesn't have to be this way.
In fact, God made men to embrace a life of courage, adventure, and freedom. He created men to take risks and find true purpose and belonging. Join Steve for this 7-week class.
What Wild at Heart does for men, Captivating does for women.
The message of Captivating is this: Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.
Raising your child is an exciting opportunity to influence a life, but it is also a daunting assignment. Parents have the God-given responsibility―and privilege―to guide the development of their children, a responsibility that cannot be delegated to schools, churches, media, or community organizations. Based on extensive national research, Barna outlines a biblical approach to raising children with the "Seven Cornerstones of a Biblical Worldview."
Raising Spiritual Champions is a dynamic, Bible-based, research-supported guide for the parents of tomorrow's Christian Church.
Why does God allow adversity?
God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, and He can turn things to good regardless of the situation we face. These two key principles—rooted in Scripture and seen in the lives of Christians throughout the ages — should color the lenses through which all followers of Christ view adversity.
Advancing Through Adversity provides a new perspective on the trials we face, revealing what questions to ask and what lessons can be learned from such times. Understanding God's role and bolstering our courage can help us advance through adversity rather than be overcome by it.
Week Day / Night Study
GriefShare, a grief & loss support group
Led By: Lyn Smith
Location: Lower level, room 106
Dates: Tuesdays 6 - 8 pm, August 19 - Nov 11
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
As Christians, we know someday we will leave our familiar country and be united with God in heaven. And yet many of us know very little about this place. Join us as we use the Scriptures to answer fascinating questions about heaven: Is heaven a real place or is it a state of mind? Who will be in heaven? What will we do in heaven? Will we know one another in heaven? Do Christians immediately go to heaven when they die? And more!

Care Groups
Care groups are small groups comprised of 6-12 individuals that meet for connection, bible study, prayer, friendship, and accountability. They usually commit to meeting together for 9-12 months, or even longer, and usually meet in people’s homes.
A care group is the best place for sustained life change to occur. It’s also where people pray together, care for one another, and are missed if they don’t show up.
