Bible Study Groups

Peter addresses the important question: How do we face challenges as a people who, through Jesus Christ, have been given a living hope? Through Peter's words, we gain insights into how God calls all of us to live in the situations in which we find ourselves today. Join us as we discover together how early Christians were called to stand firm in the faith and how we might also stand firm knowing we have a living hope.

This group meets in the Library on Wednesday evenings following our Community Night dinner, September 23 through December 9. We will be studying 1 & 2 Peter.

No sign up is required; come when you can.

Come join a group this fall as we try on a different Spiritual practice each week, using "The Good and Beautiful God" by James Bryan Smith as our guide. We'll read and discuss and live together through 9 chapters where the author invites us to examine the narratives about God that guide our lives without us always being aware of them. Most importantly, we'll also look at Jesus' true narratives about God and work out together what it means to live in light of them.

This group meets in Room 20 on Wednesday evenings following our Community Night dinner, September 23 through December 9. Pick up the book and read chapter 1 before our first Community Night on September 23, when we'll be discussing that chapter and the first Spiritual practice, which is "sleep."

Schedule
Facilitators: Luke Joyce, Stephanie Joyce, Carrie Postma, and Tom Bosch.

For Christians, sharing the gospel can be awkward, unnatural, and even frightening. After trying and failing, or failing to try at all, we may wonder if evangelism is worth the effort. In Lost Cause, created in partnership with Exponential, Dave Ferguson helps Christians push past common barriers to evangelism so we can focus on the heart of the matter: sharing the message of good news with people who desperately need it. Join us as we explore this five-session series and revive your heart for evangelism. (based on the B.L.E.S.S. acronym).

This group meets in the Boathouse Fireside Room on Wednesday evenings following our Community Night dinner, October 7 through November 4.
Sign up by emailing Pastor JB.

"So what did you underline in this chapter?"  That starts the conversation over breakfast at Russ's Northside. We'll keep a chair open at the table for you - join the conversation or just listen - but come ready to get to know some other men and join us on the journey of being found in, formed by and following Jesus Christ.

This group meets at Russ’ on the 2nd and 4th Mondays at 7 am. No sign up is required.

We are a diverse group of women - some mothers, some not; some working outside the home, some not; some married, some not. What unites us is our desire to take a break in our week, gather together for fellowship, studying the Bible, prayer, and supporting one another. Come and join us if you’re looking for a group of women who are authentic, genuine, kind, and supportive!

This group meets in Room 20 on Monday evenings during the school year. No sign up is required.
