• Season of Life: Young Adults
• Current Study: “Practice the Way” by John Mark Comer
  • We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.
    
    To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.
    
    This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight, as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.
    
    These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did.

Season of Life: Intergenerational Adults

Current Study: Nehemiah: Prayer That Builds

The Book of Nehemiah is more than a leadership manual or a blueprint for rebuilding—it’s a story built on prayer. Prayer shaped the man before it raised the wall. For four months, Nehemiah wept, fasted, and sought God, and the result was a city’s walls that were rebuilt in fifty-two days!

Join us as we walk slowly through Nehemiah, learning how courageous prayer reforms us, renews communities, and rebuilds lives. Whether you’re brand-new to Bible study or a seasoned veteran, you’re invited—come listen, learn, and pray with us. And may God challenge us all through the life of a real man with a broken heart and a desperate dream.

  • From Problems to Praise by Rondie Taylor (special focus session)

• Current Study: Life Lessons from 1, 2, 3 John and Jude: Living and Loving by Truth 
  • These letters are full of insights and direction, along with warnings and encouragement… all based on these two words. These words remind us that God supplies all we need.

Love and truth remind us of the life-changing power of the gospel message. Want a guide on how to live? Study John and Jude’s letters of love and truth.
  • As you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of John and Jude, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:
  • Our obedience in faith keeps us in fellowship with God.
  • God will forgive our sins.
  • We can measure any truth by where it places Jesus in relation to God.
  • God’s love and Christ’s victory are the Christian’s inheritance.

Current Study: Finding God Faithful by Kelly Minter – Study the Life of Joseph in the Book of Genesis

Have you ever wondered why you are in certain situations, when you thought life should be different? You should have had a different path? You feel off course? In the midst of hardship, tragedy, and unanswered questions, it’s difficult to glimpse God at work. How do we hold onto our faith during these times? How do we trust God is working all things for our good and His glory?

We will trace the path of Joseph’s life in the Book of Genesis to observe how God’s sovereignty reigns, even in our darkest moments. Learn to recognize when God is working during periods of waiting, trust God’s plan when life doesn’t make sense, and rest in the sufficiency of His presence in every circumstance. His provision is enough, His presence is constant, and His purpose is unstoppable.

• Current Study: Angels Finding Hope in God by Melissa Spoelstra
• The Bible speaks of angels often. They were present in the garden of Eden, and throughout the story of the Bible they appear to people with messages, encouragement, and tangible help. Angels ministered to Jesus after His temptation and before His crucifixion, and they shared the good news of His resurrection. Despite their frequent appearance in God’s Word, our impression of angels is more often shaped by the myths and misconceptions that have developed over the centuries.     
• In this 8-session Bible study, join Melissa Spoelstra as she traverses the terrain of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to learn about angels—who they are, what they do, and what they have to do with you. There’s no reason to fear or ignore what’s happening in the supernatural, unseen realm—we can live with confidence that God is in control of it all. Angels is a call to put your hope in the God of angel armies who reigns over heaven and earth.
