Community Groups

Community groups are designed to help us get to know one another better, as we fellowship, discuss the sermon, and pray. The emphasis in these discussions is on practical application. Groups usually meet three times a month (many on Sunday evenings). This is a great way to plug in on a more personal level.

Community Groups will resume January 9, 2022.  Everyone is asked to sign up for their 2021-2022 Community Group, even if remaining in the same group as the previous year.  Contact Jason Hunt for more details.

Titus 2 Discipleship Ministry (T2M)

T2M is made up of small groups of women who meet once a month at different times and locations. Responding to God’s call in Titus 2, mature Christian (older) women are able to develop authentic relationships with other women (“spiritual daughters”). By spending time together, women will encourage, equip, nurture, and build community as they learn to think biblically and live covenantally according to the scriptural principle of womanhood.

Lies Women Believe: And the Truth that Sets Them Free (2018 ed.) by Nancy DeMoss is the book we will delve into throughout the year. Childcare is offered on Tuesday mornings* and Wednesday nights. The Wednesday night groups will meet at the church, where activities and care will be available for children of all ages.

• Began on September 13, 14, and 15 and usually meets the second week of the month. Meeting times: Monday AM, 10-12  (at church). Monday PM, 6:30-8:30  (choice of 2 groups: 1 at a home, 1 at church).  Tuesday AM, 9:30-11:30  (choice of 2 groups: 1 at a home, 1 at church).  Wednesday PM, 6:15-7:30  (choice of 2 groups, both at church)
