SMALL GROUPS - DURING THE FAITH + FELLOWSHIP HOUR ON SUNDAYS
In between the Modern Worship service that ends at 10:00am and the Traditional Worship service beginning at 11:0am is our Faith + Fellowship Hour where your encouraged to explore some of our many small groups. These groups meet to discuss current events, have Bible studies and even go a step further to marry the words of the Bible to current happenings to better understand the world we live in. (During this time of COVID-19, groups with *** are meeting via ZOOM. To get links for Zoom classes or learn more, click below).
LIGHTHOUSE class (COFFEE BAR @ THE CORNER)
This group will meet weekly on Sunday mornings from 10:15am-11:00am (bearing in mind that young kids need to be picked up by 10:50am). The idea of this group is to welcome anyone who is available for conversation and a short devotional. Class members will rotate facilitation. Lighthouse will be offered in-person only. All are welcome!

TRANSITIONS class (Room 312 & Zoom)
Our lives read like a book, with chapters ending and beginning. Life keeps us guessing as we search, wait, and wonder—hoping for some divine revelation. This class will explore how God can shape & guide us through transitions that can be some of the richest and most rewarding times in life if we are willing to explore them openly and engage in a process of discovery. Wide range of adults - 30’s to 70’s.
Co-facilitators: Bill Morris & Nan Morris
