Groups
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20
A Group is a smaller community
of people gathering
regularly and spontaneously for the purpose of
growing, encouraging, and serving.
God didn’t design us for obscurity and loneliness. We invite you to experience life together with a small group in your neighborhood. Our groups and Bible studies are designed to help you connect and grow. We believe that if we do life together, we can propel one another to greater spiritual depths not possible in isolation.

MEETING THIS FALL
Join us on the Frontline as we gather in prayer before Sunday services. We believe the battles we face are not merely physical, and prayer is one of the most powerful ways we can stand firm together.
Together, we’ll pray for our church, our community, and every person who will walk through our doors.
Come ready to fight battles on your knees.
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
Ephesians 6:12, 18 NLT
This group meets every Sunday from 8:00–8:30 AM in Dr. Kayla’s Office, between the two buildings.

How to Study
the Bible
We live in a world of instant information. Everything and anything can be learned in an afternoon on Google. Any topic or question can be answered immediately. Except when we run across a confusing piece of scripture, or we are wrestling with deep theological questions, Google won’t cut it. In this Life Group, we will learn how to study our Bibles effectively and intentionally for a deeper relationship with God.
This fall we are studying the Biblical origins and creation of Spiritual gifts, the purpose of these gifts for the church, and how to discern and use our own gifts and talents.
Every Monday, 6:30–8:00 PM in the Coastal House
This is a welcoming group for adults looking to grow in their faith and build meaningful relationships. We create a relaxed, authentic environment where conversation, prayer, and community matter. Kids are always welcome, and we embrace the energy they bring as part of doing life together.
Young children are welcome. Our group shares a meal together.
Every Monday, 5:30 -7:00 PM @ Bergens' Home.

Who Is Celebrate Recovery For?
Celebrate Recovery is for EVERYONE!
No one should have to face their pain alone.
We are a grace-filled community of strugglers who courageously enter this safe and beautiful space to get honest about our pain and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God, and others. In this process, we come to accept that some of the habits we have developed to escape our pain may have hurt us and those close to us.
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered program designed to help Christ followers and new believers through the process of dealing with all of life's hurts, hang-ups, and habits. This ministry teaches biblical truths and promotes and encourages the process of surrendering our will to God's care through the eight biblically based recovery principles and the 12-step program. All the while, creating healing and a love for Christ and others, and developing healthy followers of Christ, as directed by Luke 10:27.
Come as you are and take the next step forward. There is hope, and we’re in this together!
Join us Thursdays at 5:30 PM for dinner and 6:00 PM in the Coastal House.
