Are you feeling stuck or longing for something more in your spiritual walk with Jesus? In this class, we will discover who Jesus is and how to experience Him in everyday life. Through open conversation in class, we’ll focus on knowing Jesus personally, following Him as our Lord, growing deeper in our relationship with Him, and living out our faith in ways that reflect His presence and power to those around us. Together, we’ll also explore the church’s core faith values—Know, Grow, and Go and how these values flow from our mission to prepare God’s people for completeness in Jesus.

Mom's Connection is a place for moms to connect through Jesus. You are welcome to join this group at any time. Light So Lovely: Cultivating Contagious Joy Life as a mom is filled with both incredible beauty and deep weight—the joy of milestones and laughter alongside constant pressure, pivoting, and a mental load that never seems to turn off. What if we’re invited to something more than simply surviving? Scripture reveals from Genesis to Revelation that true joy is found in the steadfast presence of God, whose light has been shining from the very beginning. True joy isn’t something we have to manufacture or find through perfection; it’s found in the safe and secure presence of God, who meets us where we are and strengthens us by his Spirit. At Mom's Connection we will cultivate contagious joy together—a light so lovely that others can’t help but want to know its Source.

When a parent loses a child, you are faced with the reality of many years ahead of you before you are reunited with that child in Heaven. As you face those seemingly interminable years, we have some choices to make… Are you going to abandon or apply your faith? Are you going to allow grief to make you bitter, or allow God to use grief to make you better? 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.
