EVENTS
CURRENT AND UPCOMING EVENTS
We have many wonderful opportunities to join in community and grow together! Check this page for ongoing and upcoming events, Bible studies, and more!
Groups are intended to build community (fun, hospitality, shared meals), deepen discipleship (Bible study, Book study, prayer, meditation), and look outwards (discussion, mission, welcome). These groups create spaces to build friendships and have fun together, and go deeper in our faith and knowledge of God. We share in life, and grow together.
We have new Seasonal Studies beginning September 20 and running through the week if November 8. We also have many Open and Ongoing groups that run throughout the year, and welcome new members at any time!
Motherhood with little ones is beautiful, exhausting, messy - and it’s not meant to be walked alone. This group is a space for moms of infants through preschoolers to come as they are, share honestly, and be encouraged. Build relationships with other moms of littles, as well as mothers and grandmothers who have walked through many seasons of motherhood. Join us to share a meal, build lasting relationships, and discover how God is meeting you in this season.

Small Group Interest Survey:
Are you looking to experience deeper community and pay closer attention to how God is working in your life? We are gathering interest in forming life groups of 3–5 people committed to a six-month journey of intentional spiritual growth, meeting once or twice a month for reflection, prayer, and shared practices. These flexible, question-guided gatherings will be designed to help you explore Christian discipleship in a concrete way alongside a few others, learning and growing in relationship. If you are ready to pursue what God is growing in you, please let us know your preferences by filling out our brief interest form.
