NEW SONG SUNDAY

“THE LORD IS WITH ME”

“The Lord Is With Me” by Red Rocks Worship is a steady declaration of trust in God’s constant presence. It reminds us that no matter what we face, we never walk through it alone. Even in uncertainty, we can move forward with courage because God is faithful and near. It’s a song of confidence, peace, and the assurance that the Lord is always with us.

COMMUNITY GROUPS!

We want to help everyone at Knollwood find and be a part of a community group! It is easy to get lost in a crowd and feel lonely even though you may be surrounded by people at the service on Sunday. We want everyone to be known, cared for, and supported in a small group. In a community group, you will form relationships that will help you grow as a Christian as you learn how to live out our faith. We currently have five community groups that are ready to welcome you into their group! To find out more information about these five groups, check out our website HERE or email Carie Thomas.
