Bible Studies and Study Resources
All are welcoming to join any of our ongoing Growth Group sessions.
Growth Groups are small groups that meet for a set number of sessions, ranging from 1 to 7 sessions. The average Growth Group will meet for 3-5 sessions, making it a manageable commitment for busy schedules. These groups are broken into three main categories: Head, Heart, and Hands. The Head groups focus on study and teaching, the Heart groups dive into heart issues like relationships and social concerns, and the Hands groups provide practical applications for everyday life.
Whether you are looking to dive deep into study, work on relationships, or put your faith into action, there is a group for you!

Have you ever wanted to get a better understanding of the Old Testament? Join our bible studies as we take a tour of the Old Testament including review of scripture, dicussion of major points, questions, answers, and comments. As we examine key chapters and events we’ll get a sense of some of the major themes and how to relate the Old Testament to the New Testament. In addition to looking at the “big story” of the Old Testament, we’ll take a look at various individual books and see how they relate to each other and to the big picture. Whether you’ve never spent much time in the Old Testament or whether you would just like to renew an old acquaintance with it this study is for you.

Prayer Journal
A prayer journal is a personal record of one’s conversations with God, and can include prayers, requests, and reflections on God’s answers and blessings. The purpose of a prayer journal is to help people focus on God, set aside time to speak to him, and let him speak back. It can also be a way to reflect on spiritual growth and look back on God’s faithfulness during difficult times.
