To be living is to be growing. In the Christian life, growth is part of God's plan to fulfill the potential He has placed in us. That's why we offer classes called "Growth Groups," these transformational classes cover topics that range from theology to parenting and everything in between. Our classes meet on Wednesday nights at various times throughout the year. You can find the current Growth Groups listed down below. If you would like to sign up for a class, or have any questions about them. Feel free to fill out the form below.

Many Christians—from the CEO to the teacher to the stay-at-home mom—spend a great deal of time working and yet do not realize how their work intersects with their faith. They compartmentalize their faith to Sunday morning and see the rest of their week as having little to do with their walk with God. Scripture, however, makes no division between the sacred and secular parts of our lives. God gives us our work, talent and skills so that through them we might worship Him.
This six-part Bible study resource will challenge all of us to consider the reason God calls us to work. It will cause you to consider why He may have you in your current position and encourage you to look beyond how your job makes you feel and see purpose and significance in your work.
Through powerful biblical teaching, real-life documentary stories and engaging video illustrations, this series will help us understand the biblical mandate for work. We have been called to work with excellence, integrity, and diligence, and our careers are opportunities to be on mission for Christ in the marketplace. God gives us great potential for impact on our families, churches, communities and the world through the blessing of our work.

In the first few pages of the Bible, we learn that man was made in the image and likeness of God. But what does that really mean and what are the implications of that to you as a follower of Jesus? The Imageo Dei is a biblical concept that has been grappled with for millennia. David the psalmist, as he reflects upon this truth, cries out “what is man that you are mindful of him and the son of man that You care for him? For You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet.” Amazing!!
In this series we will explore how Jesus as the 2nd Adam and the perfect Image of God fit into the biblical narrative of the Imageo Dei. The arrival of the kingdom of God, and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus frees us to be the kind of human we were always meant to be but have failed to be. It is like a divine reset! We are created for purpose and destined for glory! Let’s begin!
