The groups listed below meet in the church facility. This is a great way for those who are currently not part of a group to try something out and to get connected. Many of our groups use RightNow Media resources in their study the Scriptures to facilitate group discussion.
The Freedom In Christ Course is for every Christian, from those who have been Christians for a long time to those who have only just made that decision, from those who are progressing steadily to those who feel stuck.
It is designed to help you:
break through to a greater level of spiritual maturity
uncover any areas of deception holding you back
resolve personal and spiritual conflicts
learn strategies to renew your mind and break free from negative thinking and unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
The course does not focus on how to behave but on how to believe. After all, Christ has already set us free (Galatians 5:1) and given us everything we need (2 Peter 1:3). It's just that sometimes it doesn't feel like it!
Many sense that they have not reached their full potential for God. Perhaps they feel "stuck" in habitual sin, negative thoughts, fears, unforgiveness or condemnation. Yet they really want to grow and mature. This course will help you grasp the amazing truth of your new identity in Christ, teach you to uncover and resist the enemy's deception, and help you move on. It's not a "quick fix". But it is likely to revolutionize your Christian life.
The Freedom In Christ Course is based on the Biblical teaching of Dr. Neil T. Anderson, best-selling author of Victory Over The Darkness and The Bondage Breaker. It has been used by around 400,000 people and has been translated into over 30 languages. To get the full benefit from the Freedom in Christ Course, you will need the Participant's Guide and The Steps to Freedom in Christ. Please visit the links below for those materials.

12 Sessions
Starts Wednesday March 6th
9:30-11:30AM in Hub 1
Their stories are not fairytales, their road was not easy, and their examples are not perfect. They lived in times and places quite different than ours. Yet they hold up a mirror to our souls that can help us better understand our own story. And in doing so, we find freedom to come to God as we are, with total transparency —honest and real.
In this small group journey, taught by six acclaimed Bible teachers— including Lysa TerKeurst — you will meet a group of women in the Bible whose lives teach us about ourselves and about who God is. You and your group will open yourselves to the raw and revealing stories of frailties, struggles, brokenness, and victories of real women from both the Old and New Testaments.
Discover lessons from each of these 12 women that will help you:
Apply biblical lessons to your own modern-day struggles.
Persevere through your failures and accept your successes.
Draw near to God in a world filled with trials.
Find lasting contentment in every situation.
Overcome rejection and insecurity.

13 Monday Nights
Starts Monday January 6th
7-8:30PM in Rm 22
We all overcome obstacles—regardless of how big or small. But the Bible introduces a different kind of obstacle that we must be prepared to face—spiritual warfare.
In the Overcomer series, David Jeremiah uses Paul’s description of spiritual armor as an outline for exploring the Christian’s call to be an overcomer. This is not a technical description of Roman armor, but an applicational study of what it means to stand firm and overcome sin, the world, and the devil. In Christ, the believer has everything necessary to live a victorious, overcoming life. When we “put on” Christ, we are putting on all the spiritual armor we need not only to stand, but to overcome!
Facilitator: Diane Hadler
Starts Tuesday January 7th
7-9PM in Rm 104
For any leader working in the marketplace.
Marketplace leaders have a unique opportunity to step into a purpose that is aligned with who God is and how God has made them. Everywhere we look, we can see God using faith-driven leaders to bring order out of chaos, solve problems, seize opportunities, and create dignity and opportunity for those who interact with startups of all sizes.
Our group is currently tapping into the world class resources generously provided by www.faithdrivenentrepreneur.org. Discussing Christian entrepreneurship and how keeping our faith anchored in Jesus is our first priority. Henry Kaestner, co-founder of Bandwidth (Nasdaq: BAND), Sovereign’s Capital, and Faith Driven Media, guides us through the real-life stories of entrepreneurs living out their faith.
Stepping into the venture God has drawn you to requires faith. Find out what it looks like to take a leap, trust God along the way, and let your faith lead you in the marketplace.
