Adult + Family Ministries
The primary context for disciple-making has always been relationships, so we offer a variety of relational contexts to help you grow in your discipleship to Jesus, regardless of where you are in the journey. Pick the options that work best for your stage in life- Bible studies and discipleship groups for young adults, women, men, mixed groups, and families to grow together in community.

Young Adults
Our young adults meet Sundays at 6:30 pm, to walk with Jesus together through Scripture and how to live it out in an everchanging world. And there's no shortage of fun and laughter whether gathering on Sunday nights or for other memorable events that strengthen their bonds with each other and their commitment to Jesus.
