Small Groups

Small Groups are communities where we can meet and enjoy friends, learn together 

and grow closer to God. We offer a variety of groups: some groups to study the Bible together, others to offer support to one another, and others to engage in activities together.


If you find a group that interests you, you can sign up using the form at the bottom of the page.

  • Acts of Paul

    Our hope is to give people a solid appreciation of Paul's life, calling, and mission. This helps me to better understand his epistles and letters to the churches and co-laborers. I believe it will do the same for you.

  • tuesday morning women's group

    This is a powerful group where we are learning to love the Lord and each other through sharing, worship, listening and journaling, prayer ministry and more.   Come and experience the refreshing presence of the Lord as you awaken to his movement in your life and the lives of others around you.  Newcomers are welcome.

  • Doug's Book Club: Dietrich Bonhoeffer - The Cost of discipleship
