Small Group Studies
We offer several different small group study options for those who wish to delve more deeply into scripture and strengthen their walk of faith through meaningful discussion and support from the church family.
Monday
OOPS! We don't have a small group currently scheduled on Mondays. Need a small group that meets on Monday? Why not talk to Pastor Jim about starting your own!? You don't have to be an expert on the Bible, you just have to be willing to follow the materials and help facilitate a discussion. We have an ever-growing library of small group materials and sample kits for you to check out so you're sure to find something that meets a need or that sparks your interest. Most small group studies are short term (4-8 weeks) and provide everything you need to know to get your group growing in the right direction!
