Adult Groups
Adult Faith Groups
Faith Groups are an integral part of our mission to make disciples who KNOW, GROW, SERVE, and GO. These small groups provide a place for people to grow together through fellowship, prayer, and Bible Study. Feel free to visit one group this week and another next week, but we pray you’ll quickly join a group that leads to lasting community.
Each group is listed by meeting time, its name (usually the leader’s last name), demographic, average group size, and location.
Childcare is provided for all groups that meet on Sundays during our 8:00, 9:30, or 11:00 AM times. Learn more about Faith Kids here.

Adult D-Groups
D-Groups are small groups of 3-5 believers of the same gender who meet together for discipleship and accountability. These groups form organically from our Faith Groups and most D-groups use our Bible reading plan as the basis for their time in God’s Word each week.

Our Bible Reading Plan page is full of introductory videos for each book and book basics guides to help you understand the Bible as we go.
Adult Core Classes
Core Classes are designed to increase your knowledge of God’s Word, key doctrines, and spiritual habits. These classes reflect the core of what every growing disciple should know as we are on mission to make disciples who know Christ, grow together, serve others, and go to our neighbors and the nations.

When You Pray (Faith Women)
Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. When You Pray will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.

ACTS Prayer Resource
We want to assist you in cultivating a prayer life that helps you draw near to God. One way of doing that is using the acronym ACTS, which will aid you in developing a balanced prayer life. It’s not a formula for praying but rather a guide to help you keep focused on your relationship with God and communicating with Him in a way that encourages intimacy.
-
Adoration is simply focusing on who God is and expressing awe and worship. Sometimes this is the hardest thing for us to do, but it is a necessary part of praying, because it focuses us on who God is and gives us the opportunity to make much of Him. When we pray, it is essential that we know who we are talking to.
-
Confession is our response to the uncovering of who we are and what we have done. When we step into the light of God's greatness, we recognize how we fall short of His glory. Confession is a great privilege because it allows us to lay hold of the cleansing and forgiveness offered to us in Jesus. We may walk in filthy, but we can leave cleansed and forgiven.
-
Thanksgiving is a humble response to the generosity of God, acknowledging that every good and perfect gift comes from Him. In spite of who we are and what we have done, God has been and continues to do us good. Thanksgiving recognizes that we are and all we have is because of Him. Gratitude puts us in the right frame of mind to ask because it leads us to consider what God has done and what He is able to do.
-
Supplication is just the practice of asking. Jesus told us to ask, but He also modeled for us an asking that submissive and surrendered. He delights to give and bless. Asking glorifies Him. Asking humbles us. Asking opens the door for greater faith and draws us deep into the arms of our good God whose faithfulness and love never end.
