Our two most popular programs are Mother’s Morning Out and English as a Second Language (ESL), so these ministries have their own pages. For all other recurring events, check out the information below!

GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

GCs focus on community, encouragement, accountability, and reminding one another of the truth of the gospel. Some groups meet weekly and others meet every other week. Click here for more information.
discipleship GROUPS
Discipleship groups are another avenue for you to connect with others and mature in your faith. Discipleship groups focus on Christian character, godly convictions, and ministry competency.

Contact Nathan to get involved.
