The Importance of Self Talk

The goal of formation and care is to be aware of ourselves and to align our hearts & desires with what Jesus is doing in our midst so that we can be wholly present to those around us.

YOUTH GROUP

Wednesdays @ 7pm

Youth from 6th grade- 12th grade, please join us for a time of games and digging into God's Word together.

Our current series

The Bible is Awesome- is a look through the Bible from beginning to end- how Jesus and the Gospel are revealed through every book, every story and every page.

God's Word is awesome!

Men of Grace, come join us for a time of fellowship and scripture study

Wednesdays @ 7pm

Beginning Wednesday, May 6th, we will begin a 3-week video study focused on God's Uncommon Man, led by Tony Dungey and James Brown (the sports caster).

The Bible is described in a lot of ways: God's Word, the "Story" of Scripture, and a road map for life are just a few. Coach Dungey and Mr. Brown will use the concept that the Bible is a "Playbook to a Faithful Life".

We will examine the marks of what they call "God's Uncommon Man"

Session 1- Know the Play

Session 2- Run the Play

Session 3- Endure the Opposition

Come join us as we look at how our lives can change to desire a closer walk with God, find motivation to apply God's Word to our lives through choices and actions, and experience peace, resting in God who will give us victory over our difficulties.

We look forward to sharing this study together with all the men of Grace.

Women's Ministry Event!

Wednesdays at 7pm- May 6th, 13th, & 20th.
