During the school year we offer classes, support groups and Bible studies on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in order to give you an opportunity to learn and apply the truths of the Bible. Whether it’s a Bible study of a particular passage or book, a class about spiritual disciplines or a group that helps people find freedom from pain and suffering, there is always a chance for you to connect and grow with us.
Christians often focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. Do you have trouble saying no? Can you set limits and still be a loving person? Are you in control of your life? Do people take advantage of you? Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend offer biblically based answers to these tough questions as they show us how to set healthy boundaries with our parents, our spouses, our children, our friends and even ourselves.
Deuteronomy is a book that outlines the relationship between God and his people. It challenges the cultural values of the day, and calls us to embody the values of a living God. It shows both where the people of God have been, and where they are going.

These, and many more questions, are discussed at the While We’re Waiting support groups. Here you’ll find other parents who have gone through the same life-altering moment of losing a child. Here you’ll find others who have found hope on the other side.
Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments and Elijah was no different when he called down fire on Mount Carmel. In Elijah’s life leading up to this moment, his faith was shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude and adversity.

And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now.
