Small Groups provide a unique opportunity to share faith and life with one another. Our experience with Small Groups over the last decade (and more) has shown us that real-life change best happens in the company of others where life-on-life support is naturally and spontaneously experienced. If you’re already involved in weekly worship, engaging in a Small Group is your next best step to a deeper connection with others in the church and continued growth in your relationship with God. Our Small Groups take place at various locations on and off-campus during the week. Most groups are multigenerational and the variety of group formats provides opportunities to learn and grow in different ways. We look forward to helping you find the right group, so submit your information through the form below and we’ll be in touch!
Small Groups: Fall 2022
Starting the week of October 9 through November 19
Registration opens September 18; All groups will meet in person.
Bible Study: Prayer and Listening by Jan Johnson
We connect to God through spiritual disciplines. Prayer and listening, the topics of this Bible study, are two of them. Join us in this study through scripture of the Old Testament, Psalms and the New Testament:
- Conversation with God (selections from Genesis 15, 17 & 18)
- Praying with Authenticity (Psalm 74)
- The Prayer of Request (Matthew 6)
- Listening to God in Prayer (1 Chronicles 14)
- Praying for Others as Jesus Did (Luke 22)
- Practicing God’s Presence (1 Thessalonians 5)
Book Study: Prayer in the Night by Tish Harrison Warren
A personal and prayerful study of the Compline prayer from the author of Liturgy of the Ordinary.
“Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.”
This book offers a prayerful and frank approach to the difficulties in our ordinary lives at work, at home, and in a world filled with uncertainty.
Sermon-based Discussion
When we listen to a sermon on Sunday (or any other day) sometimes the messages come full-force in the moment of our listening. Others need time and conversation to germinate. Our sermon-based discussions use the Diving Deeper questions paired with each sermon to facilitate discussion during the week. Join others as we explore beyond the words from the pulpit.
