Bible Studies & Small Groups
Christians grow best when they worship together, grow through study and small groups and serve amongst our neighbors. We encourage you to look through this list of small groups and studies and get involved. If you’re already active in worship, let’s take the next step and grow together.
Most of our Bible studies and small groups run for about six weeks in either the fall or spring. Sunday School classes for all ages meet every Sunday at 9:40 a.m. We also encourage everyone to "band together" and become part of a small group. Groups can be as small as three people, and you can meet in person or electronically. Learn more about banding together
NOW WHAT?
Led by Keith Keeton
Sundays, 5:30 p.m. - January 11 & 18
Room 315
Have you ever wondered what Keith has learned from years of pastoral care? What he has learned may be helpful to others going through difficult times themselves or with loved ones. Things such as:
- What happens when my loved one is in the hospital?
- Why do these things happen, and how should I handle them as a Christian?
- What does it look like to transition to hospice/palliative care?
- How do you handle funeral planning, etc.?
Keith will cover these issues and the theological foundations for handling them in this two-week class. Whether you're in this situation now or not, hopefully, exploring these topics will be helpful.
