ROOM 405 CHILDREN’S BUILDING
AUG 26 - SEPT 9 | OCT 21 - DEC 9
4 PM

Join us for a study on the Gospel of John - an open-forum discussion exploring Jesus' teachings and how to apply them today. Bring a friend who's asking questions about faith; it's a great way to see the Gospel shared clearly. Come ready to dig in and grow together.
Colossians: A Graduate Course in Theology

LED BY JIM MILLER
ROOM 405 CHILDREN'S BUILDING
SEPT 16 - OCT 7
4 PM

Join us on Wednesdays for a 4-week study through Paul's letter to the Colossians - a short book packed with some of the richest theology in the New Testament. We'll dig into who Christ is, what it means to be complete in Him, and how that truth reshapes everyday life.
Spiritual Warfare for Ordinary People

LED BY DERON SPOO
ROOM 405 CHILDREN’S BUILDING
AUG 26 - DEC 9
6 PM

The phrase spiritual warfare can evoke images of fear, superstition, or the idea that demons lurk around every corner. Yet it is also unhealthy to ignore the spiritual realities we see in Scripture. Together, we'll explore the unseen spiritual forces, learn to understand these powers as Jesus did, and become better equipped to stand firm in Christ.
Men's Groups

LED BY SETH KING & CHRIS RUCKER
ROOM 403 CHILDREN’S BUILDING
AUG 26 - DEC 9
6 PM

Every week we gather as men of all ages, then split into two 14-week tracks. Masculine Virtue explores what Scripture says a man is meant to be - character, integrity, and living out biblical manhood in everyday life. Patterns of Evidence traces the historical and archaeological evidence behind the Old Testament, digging into the real-world roots of the biblical story. Different tracks, same goal: growing together as men who follow Christ with confidence.
Women's Group: Jesus' Stories

LED BY LYNDSAY WAGNER
ROOM 408 CHILDREN’S BUILDING
AUG 26 - NOV 12
9:30 AM OR 6 PM

Jesus ministered to people in ways they could understand through short, relatable parables. He used familiar customs and practices to teach about who God is, the Kingdom of Heaven and who God has called His people to be. We will take a deep look into the parables to understand what these stories actually mean and why Jesus shared them.
