Discipleship Groups
Sundays at 9am
Discipleship Groups is an hour-long, discussion-based lesson time, which utilizes the Answers Bible Curriculum from Answers in Genesis. Attendees are divided into two classes (adults in the Fellowship Hall and children K-4th grade in the Common Room). This is a time for you to be able to ask questions, discuss issues, and dig deeper in the Word of God in a systematic way that works through the entire Bible.
Discipleship Groups also includes a time of group prayer in which we pray over specific needs within our church family. For sake of privacy during the group prayer time, we do not record Discipleship Groups.

Sunday AM Worship
Sundays at 10:30am
Sunday morning worship is located in our Auditorium and lasts about 75 minutes. Every service includes an emphasis on Scripture reading, expositional preaching, and fellowship. We do offer childcare for children ages 1-5 in our Fellowship Hall (children younger than 1 or older than 5 should stay in the Auditorium with their parents). After worship, please feel free to stick around if you have questions about the message, the church, or Jesus Christ. We would love to speak with you and help you wherever you are in your spiritual journey.

Equip Classes (formerly Grace Classes)
Thursdays at 7pm
Jan-June; Sept-NovEvery Thursday evening during the months of January-June and September-November at 7pm, a qualified teacher teaches through a different module every three months in the Fellowship Hall. This isn’t a Bible Study, but rather a class meant to inform and train both the members of our church and other churches to develop a biblical worldview and then learn to defend their faith.
The modules are on a rotation and are stand-alone, which means you can take the modules in any order. Recordings of classes are available via SermonAudio.

Community Breakfast & Prayer
Every First Saturday at 8am
First Saturday Breakfast and Prayer is a monthly community-oriented time for fellowship and prayer held in our Fellowship Hall. The church provides the meal and encourages everyone from the community to come for a brief devotion, breakfast, and a time to share prayer requests and praises before praying for one another.
This is open to everyone—men, women, and children and is completely free.
• For those with dietary restrictions, please still come, but it may be necessary for you to bring your own food, which can be warmed in our microwave.
