All Adults:
ALPHA - THURSDAY EVENINGS, 7:00 PM, BEGINNING SEPT. 18TH
If you or someone you know is exploring the Christian faith, is new or is coming back to it, then Alpha is the perfect place to be. Alpha is an 11-week series of sessions that introduces the basics of Christianity in a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and share your thoughts and ideas. Each week we meet for a meal, watch a video on different topics about the Christian faith, and then discuss it with a small group. It is informal, and all types of questions or perspectives are welcome. This is also an easy, low-pressure way for a Christian to bring a friend, neighbor, or loved one and share your faith.

For anyone who’s completed the Alpha Course, or is just getting started in their faith journey and wants to know what following Jesus is all about, this 8-week course will introduce the basics of Christian discipleship and how to cultivate a close, personal relationship with Jesus.

Our small groups are spaces to build genuine relationships, share life’s joys and challenges, pray together, and grow in faith through God’s Word. A group of 8–12 people gathers in homes or other informal settings throughout the week, providing a friendly environment to connect and walk with God together. If this is something you're interested in, we'd be happy to help you find a group.

Men:
TUESDAY MORNING MEN’S GROUP - TUESDAYS, 6:00 AM BEGINNING SEPT. 9TH
This is for all the men who are yearning for a better connection with each other and with Christ. Each week, we check in with each other on how life is going, pray for one another, and grow together either through a specific Bible study or a common life topic. We close by meeting in small “pods” where men can share and support one another more closely. No sign-up required.

Kick off your Saturday with a hot cup of coffee, meaningful conversation, and practical wisdom from God’s Word. Our time together is relaxed but purposeful—sharing life, digging into Scripture, and encouraging one another to live out our faith. We meet all year long (taking a break on holiday weekends), and there’s always room for another chair at the table. Bring a buddy and join us!
