Small Groups
We believe that bible studies and small groups, when composed of people who really care about one another and are gathered around God’s Word, can be a great help to us in growing closer to Jesus. Please peruse the following information on the bible studies and small groups that we are currently offering and see if one of them will fit for you.
If you would like to join a small group, please contact the church office.

​​Monday Night Bible Study
This group meets on Mondays, 7-8:30 pm at the church in the boardroom. They go deeper into the previous Sundays reading and sermon message. Drop-ins welcome! Led by Kurt D.
​
Book of Romans Bible Study
Come explore the book of Romans—a powerful letter where the Apostle Paul lays out the heart of the Gospel: God’s mercy and righteousness freely given through faith in Jesus Christ. Called “the purest gospel” by Martin Luther, Romans invites us to wrestle with grace, grow in understanding, and be transformed by the promises of God. Join us as we dive into this rich and foundational text together! Pastor James will be leading this Bible Study at the church on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month, 7-8:30 pm in the boardroom at the church.
