Spiritual growth doesn’t happen
when we know what Jesus says,
It happens when we apply what he says.

Sundays
The Revelation of John: Watch and Wait, for the Time Is Near
LEADER: Dave Allen
WHEN: Sundays 10:30 am – Noon
WHERE: Church dining room
SUBJECT: Jesus is coming again, and it could be any day now. How do you prepare for His appearance? What should His disciples be doing until He arrives? In this study we will walk through the Apocalypse of John—the last book of the New Testament—to answer questions believers have about life these exciting days. We will look at several Old Testament prophecies along with words of Jesus in the Gospels, as well as words of Paul, Peter, John, and James, in the epistles of the New Testament to learn what the Lord expects of us as we build Church of Jesus Christ in these last days before the end of time.

(6:15 ish for snacks, drinks, and fellowship) – Expecting to start October 13th.
WHERE: Ernie’s Office
SUBJECT: Everybody’s faith has a starting point. Maybe you’re new to Christianity, coming back to church after being away for a while, or you simply have questions about God, Jesus, and the Bible. Starting Point is a relaxed, conversational small group where no question is off-limits. Through engaging video teaching from Andy Stanley and open group discussion, we’ll explore the basics of the Christian faith and discover what it really means to have a relationship with God. You don’t have to know the Bible, and you don’t have to have everything figured out. Just come with your questions.
Tuesdays
LEADER: Ernie Madden, pastor
WHEN: Mondays 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm, beginning November 3rd.
(6:15 ish for snacks, drinks, and fellowship)
WHERE: The Parsonage
SUBJECT: What does it really look like to follow Jesus in everyday life? Each week, we’ll take the truths we’re learning from our Sunday sermons and dig deeper into what they mean for our relationships, struggles, decisions, and everyday lives. Along the way, we’ll also tackle practical topics like prayer, knowing God’s will, dealing with worry, forgiveness, temptation, sharing our faith, and more.
Together, we’ll dig into God’s Word, ask questions, talk honestly, encourage each other, and discover practical ways to live out what we believe every day of the week.
Please contact Ernie Madden if you would like to participate.
