God created and redeemed us for community - to live the Christian life together. In Hebrews 10:24-25, we are urged to “consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another…” In John 13:35, Jesus said others would know His disciples by how we love one another.
Our Small Groups - Sunday School Classes, Bible Study Groups, as well as Community Groups - foster deep relationships where we can grow in Christ together. They not only equip us to know God through His Word, but encourage us to share His Gospel so that others might come to know Him too.

Women's Study - Job, A Story of Unlikely Joy by Lisa Harper
When: Wednesdays April 6 thru May 25th at 9:30am
Where: Room 204 or via Zoom
Cost: Member books are available from Lifeway, Christianbook.com, or Amazon, $17-19.
Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing, persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus. Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his worldly joys were stripped away. But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow? In this 7-session study, discover the redemptive facet of Job’s suffering. Learn to view pain as a way to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and trust in the Lord. Because His providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you. To join the study, contact Shari Penland or Judy Howell.
Sunday Morning Bible Study - Turning Everyday Conversations into Gospel Conversations
When: Sunday Mornings at 9am
Where: Room 108
For far too long, evangelism and missions have been seen as the exclusive responsibility of trained pastors and ministry leaders. But Scripture is clear that the Great Commission is not given to just those few, but rather to every single believer.
In Turning Everyday Conversations Into Gospel Conversations, authors Jimmy Scroggins and Steve Wright outline a reproducible method of sharing the gospel that has been tested in the real world. This method is a simple strategy to train new and seasoned believers to join God in His reconciliation work. Scroggins and Wright not only equip believers to use the innovative "3 Circles," a user-friendly evangelistic tool, but also train readers to share the good news of the gospel through incorporation of the biblical metanarrative and personal story.
Contact Kelly Farley, the study facilitator, for more information.

When: Sunday Mornings at 9:00am
