bible studies
These groups are comprised of people from a variety of stages in life. They come together throughout the year to strengthen each other in community and faith through fellowship and study. They focus mainly on short-term studies so people can join for a season or for the year. Our upcoming studies are listed below.
Registration for Fall Studies begins August 7, 2022.

Unshakeable Hope
Nothing lifts us out of fear and weariness like hope. An anchor through life's storms, hope buoys our spirits and seeks to make a way when we face tough times. After 40 years of ministry and speaking to hurt hearts, Max Lucado has learned that the promises of God will give you the strength you need. Each chapter in Unshakable Hope explores one Biblical promise that will help equip you to face every day with courage. Please purchase your own book to bring for this study!
