Discover the timeless wisdom and transformative power of The Proverbs 31 Woman with this inspiring and practical Bible study. "The 7 Virtues of a Proverbs 31 Woman" dives deep into Scripture to help you understand and embody the essential qualities of a godly woman. Through engaging reflections, thought-provoking questions, and practical applications, we'll explore the following virtues: Inner Beauty, Selflessness, Kindness, Resilience, Wisdom, Diligence & Godliness. This Life Group is child friendly!
Freedom isn’t found in trying harder—it’s found in trusting Christ fully. In this men’s Life Group, we’ll study the book of Galatians and confront the difference between religion-driven performance and gospel-driven transformation. Galatians challenges us to stop earning what Christ already finished, to live by the Spirit instead of the flesh, and to stand firm in the freedom Jesus actually secured. This is a group for men who want more than surface-level faith. Expect honest discussion, biblical depth, and real accountability as we grow in maturity, conviction, and obedience.
Who you are in Christ shapes how you live for Christ. In this class, we’ll study the book of Ephesians and explore the riches of God’s grace, our identity in Christ, and the purpose of the Church. Ephesians moves us from belief to behavior—from understanding the gospel to walking it out in everyday life. Together, we’ll dig into Scripture, wrestle with truth, and grow in unity as we learn what it means to live as a people called, redeemed, and sent. Expect thoughtful discussion, biblical depth, and practical application that strengthens both your faith and your walk.
Ask any group what it means to be Christian, and we hear different answers. But what unifies us? What are the basic characteristics of our faith that every Christian affirms? In this 6-session series, we will explore key concepts common to all Christians through the centuries. No matter what divides us, we are united by these truths about the God we worship and our relationship with Him. This group is for those that are newer to being a Christian and looking to deepen their understanding of following Jesus.
Faith in Motion is a Life Group for those who desire to move beyond comfortable faith and step into a life that looks more like Jesus—bold, surrendered, and obedient. Together, we will walk through Radical Like Jesus, learning how to live out our faith authentically in everyday life, not just in theory but in action. This is not a rushed study. We will take time to reflect, discuss, pray, and allow God to shape us as we grow in courage, compassion, and obedience.
Living a Chocolate Life invites women to savor God's rich and endless supply of grace in Christ. Whether they're sampling everything from bitter nuggets of pain to sweet morsels of joy, this study reminds readers that the Holy Spirit fills them with sweet faith in the Savior and it is only He who can truly satisfy. Written with a fun chocolate theme, each session focuses on one aspect of life as a Christian woman, encouraging readers toward introspection and personal reflection.
Motherhood is a journey best traveled together. Join this community of moms for meaningful conversations, shared laughter, and deep connections—all while the kids play and make memories of their own. Whether you’re a new mom, seasoned mom, or anything in between, you belong here! Throughout the year, we will also host a variety of gatherings, some with kids and some just for moms, so there’s an opportunity for connection no matter what your schedule looks like. (No registration needed for the kiddos.)
Intercessory prayer is one of the most powerful callings God has given to His people. In this class, we will journey through the prayers of Scripture, studying how men and women of faith cried out to God, stood in the gap for others, and witnessed heaven move on earth. Each week, we will look at a different prayer from the Bible, unpack its meaning, and create space to practice interceding together.
This Archery Life Group is for men and women who enjoy archery, value discipline and focus, and want to grow in both skill and faith. Each gathering combines practical archery time with meaningful connection and encouragement. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or brand new, this is a great space to learn, improve, and build community with others who share similar interests. We’ll meet at Nock & Feather Archery in Aurora, and each session costs $10 per person. Every shooter needs their own bow and arrows.
Sometimes the best conversations happen over coffee. This men’s group meets on 2nd and 4th Saturdays at 8am to slow down, catch up, and center our hearts on God’s Word. It’s not about having all the answers, it’s about showing up, praying for one another, and letting Scripture speak into our everyday lives. If you’re looking for a place to grow your faith and build solid friendships, you’ll find it here.
Join this fun and active Life Group that brings together families and people of all ages to explore God’s creation through local hikes. These relaxed, family-friendly hikes will encourage connection, conversation, and community. Whether you're an experienced hiker or just looking to enjoy the outdoors, everyone is welcome to join us as we grow in faith and fellowship—one step at a time! Hikes taking place on February 7th & 15th, and March 7th & 15th at 2pm.
This Young Adults group (ages 18–30) is a space for those who want to grow deeper in their relationship with God and take their faith seriously in real life. Together, we’ll study Scripture, build spiritual disciplines, ask honest questions, and learn what true discipleship looks like in everyday areas like relationships, work, purpose, and identity. This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about showing up hungry to grow. Whether you’re new to faith or ready to go deeper, you’re welcome here.
