Adult Discipleship
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.

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.
SUMMER CORE CLASSES
Wednesdays | June 3-August 5
-
1 Chronicles | 9 Week Co-Ed Core Class
1-2 Chronicles tells the same story as 1-2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings, except it leaves out all of the fun parts. Is that your view of the book? Come and find out, through a study of 1 Chronicles, that your impressions of the book might be mistaken and that it is actually crucial for getting us from the Old Testament to Jesus.
Taught by Dr. Todd Borger

Overflowing Joy | 8 Week Women's Evening Core Class
Whether you’re facing ordinary, daily pressures or an unexpected season of suffering that seems to have no end, sometimes it feels like Jesus’ promise of “overflowing joy” is simply not within reach for your real life. As we study John 15, we’ll find three surprising paths to a truly joy-filled life: God’s pruning, God’s presence, and God’s commands and learn how to experience a genuinely joy-filled life - no matter the season or circumstance!

Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World | 10 Week Women's Morning Core Class
Do you, like Mary, long to sit at the Lord’s feet… but the daily demands of a busy world just won’t leave you alone? Do you, like Martha, love Jesus and really want to serve Him… yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy? Together we’ll see how Jesus invites us to choose “the better part” - a joyful life of intimacy with Him that flows naturally into loving service. We’ll learn how Marys and Marthas alike, can draw closer to our Lord: deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.
Taught by Kiersten Lewis
Cost: FREE
Location: Room 116
Time: 9:30-11:30 AM
Discipleship Groups
Discipleship 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 Discipleship groups use our Bible reading plan as the basis for their time in God’s Word each week.
Prayer Groups
Our prayer groups pray together on Sunday mornings during all three worship gatherings in Room 114 located in the Go Gallery. Each hour, these groups commit to pray over our worship gatherings, members, pastors and Faith Groups. By coming together in prayer, we invite God to lead and bless all aspects of our ministry.
Intercessors
Intercessors are available at the end of our worship gatherings to pray with and for anyone who requests their support. They are compassionate members of our church who offer are ready and willing to pray one-on-one. They stand near the stage steps during the closing response time.
Upcoming Prayer Gatherings
We exist to equip and mobilize disciple-making leaders who Know, Grow, Serve, and Go.
College Faith Group

This group is full of new believers and seasoned followers of Jesus who endeavor to focus on God’s Word in order to become better servants of the Lord through recognizing the need for holiness and discipline in their Christian walks. Together, they encourage one another through the daily sanctification process so that their lives are more reflective of Jesus Christ and less like the world.
Mondays | 7:00 PM | Room 214 | Leb by Ken Fuhrer
Beginning with worship through music, then Ken Fuhrer leads us on an in-depth study of the Bible, followed by small-group discussion that allows us to apply the truths from Scripture and to recognize issues that men face.
Faith Men’s Saturday Breakfast
Once a Month | 8:00-9:30 AM
What is most amazing about the disciples is that Jesus ever selected them at all: among them, a handful of common fishermen, a hated tax collector, and an impulsive political zealot. They were ordinary men! Come join Faith Men as we read John MacArthur’s Twelve Ordinary Men together and study the lives of the disciples. Each month we will enjoy breakfast, fellowship, and study God’s Word.
Upcoming Men’s Events
LEGACY MINISTRY
Adults 55 and over (don’t worry, no one checks IDs) are invited to participate in our Legacy Ministry which has a goal of creating a legacy of making disciples for the next generation.
