Do you love God and want to go deeper? GROW with us. We offer studies and classes to build and encourage followers of Jesus with short term and on-going opportunities for you to grow. Our expectation is that all members will have a place of personal study.
A way to grow is to engage in personal study and prayer on a regular basis. We encourage each member to spend time daily in the study of God's Word and to pray.

"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Life Groups / Bible Studies
Simply put, Life Groups are friends you grow, laugh, and learn with. They’re the people you invite into your life – letting your guard down, growing closer to God, and investing in your spiritual walk together. Led by one or two individuals, most Life Groups are made up of 8-12 people who meet weekly in someone’s home, a coffee shop, a park, or even online.
TIMES AND LOCATIONS COMING SOON. If you are interested in leading or belonging to a Life Group, contact Mike Wadel, CLM at email address

Men
We believe we are guys who are traveling-companions on a great spiritual adventure, not grim pilgrims on a death march to personal holiness. We challenge each other daily to believe the incredible news that God actually knows us, loves us, and has restored us to himself. As we follow Christ together, we find our lives progressively interrupted by righteousness, peace and joy. We are a group of guys who choose to share life together in an authentic way to glorify God and honor our families.
