Groups & Classes
The Bible calls a committed follower of Jesus a “disciple.” Sometimes you might see the terms “Disciple” or “Discipler.” A Disciple is one who is committed to follow Jesus, and a Discipler is one who is showing others how to follow Jesus. Disciplers are Disciples, too! We never stop growing, we never stop learning to be more like Jesus Christ.
We use the term “multiply” to indicate that the mission for every follower of Jesus Christ is to call our neighbors to Christ and show them how to follow him. As we grow, every Disciple is called to become a Discipler. Our “Groups” and “Classes” have the same goal but get to that goal using different formats.
Life Groups are a key place in the church where Disciples of Jesus start sharing their lives one another. [NOTE: Care, Share, Pray and Bear Witness.] Life Groups are a group of 8-14 committed Disciples who meet in homes twice per month during the school year for the purpose of working out the Sunday morning exposition of Scripture in our everyday lives. Click below to learn more about life groups.
Bible studies seek to teach us what God says to us in the Bible so that we can submit our lives, desires and behavior to him. Bible studies might be organized around who we are (a women’s study, men’s study, or study for young adults) or simply be a general study open to all (such as our Sunday morning “Equip” study). Peruse the various studies below and choose a study and time which works great for you. Our studies are all “drop-in studies,” which means that you are welcome to drop-in and check the study out any time that works for you.
Classes are ongoing studies in the Scriptures which are designed to help us know and love God and changing our character so that we become more life Jesus. Group classes will have a clear theme such as ‘Studying the Book of James’, or ‘Church Membership,’ or “Baptism.’
Some classes are designed for to attend from beginning to end, some classes are one or two weeks, and other classes can be joined at any time. You can “drop in” and check them out any time. Some classes focus on the needs of men, or women, specifically. Check the church calendar to see a current list of classes.
Equip is an ongoing, Sunday morning class which meets at 9:30am. For some people, this is the most convenient time to be a part of a Bible study. Equip truly offers excellent help for all of to become more like Jesus!
We want to "Equip" you to be strong in your love for Jesus Christ, to lead in your own home, and to reach out to neighbors with the love of God. The Equip title is based on Ephesians 4:11-16, especially verse 12 which says, "to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, for building up the body of Christ”.
Pro tip: there are many, many hours of Equip on our YouTube channel under playlists, and we post new segments almost every week. We trust this will help each of us stay updated. Plan to come in person whenever possible.
Every new follower of Jesus Christ needs someone to teach them the basics, or the foundations of Christianity. The Bible is the Word of God, and a good Discipler will show a growing Disciple what the Bible says about God, the Bible, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and how God leads us and loves us, and what he wants from us.
If you are a new follower of Jesus, we suggest you start with 2-3 month friendship with a Discipler who will make sure you have the foundations of the Christian faith so that you can build your whole life on Jesus Christ. Please contact the church office to express interest in One-on-One Discipleship.
We examine and apply the Scriptures as offensive and defensive weapons against temptation and sin.
Please join us for Men's Ministry events, weekly prayer meetings, or Bible study.
We are committed to the Word as our authority and we are passionate about nurturing a culture in which Titus 2 discipleship (older women teaching younger women) can thrive.
We provide opportunities, resources, and support for women of all ages to connect with one another and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Comprised of young singles and young marrieds (pre-kids), Young Adults Ministries holds gatherings, day trips, and Bible studies for the growing of faith in Christ as well as relationships with each other.

We achieve our mission through partnering with parents in their God-given responsibility to raise their kids in the ways of the Lord.
We seek to teach kids to know, value, and apply the Word of God, nurturing a Biblical worldview in children through prayer, teaching, and godly role models. We equip children to live out their faith in the world.
We strive to meet the individual needs of our congregation through relationships with others in Life Groups as well as various ministries and events. When additional care is required, our various Care Ministries can address unique life circumstances.
When health challenges arise, a loved one passes, or relational challenges are too difficult to face alone, we hope that these ministries can come alongside you in help and comfort.
