Sometimes life feels rigid--as if nothing could ever really change. Maybe we're afraid of taking a step of faith. Maybe we're too injured from the past to move forward. Or maybe life thew us a curveball and we still don't know how to react. 

No matter where you find yourself, you can make the most of today. In this inspirational series, Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow shares stories from his life to illustrate what it means to seize each day for God's glory. He challenges us to step out in courage because this is the day to act.

Our words and thoughts have incredible power—they can bring life, encouragement, and hope, or they can cause harm and discouragement. This small group is designed to help us grow in Christ by learning how to align both our speech and our thinking with God’s truth.

Over the course of 10 weeks, we will study two powerful video series: “Watch Your Mouth” by Tony Evans (4 weeks) and “Tame Your Thoughts” by Max Lucado (6 weeks). Together, these studies will challenge and encourage us to examine how our words and thoughts reflect our faith and influence the people around us.

Through discussion, Scripture, and practical application, we’ll learn how to speak with wisdom, control our reactions, and renew our minds through God’s Word.

All families are welcome to join us as we grow together in learning to honor God with both our mouths and our minds.

Join us for a walking group open to all as we grow physically and spiritually together. As we walk, we’ll have meaningful conversations about our walk with Jesus.

Are we spiritually fit? Do our daily lives truly demonstrate our faith and love for Christ? What does it mean to step out in faith and keep our eyes on Jesus (Matthew 14)?

This is a relaxed, welcoming opportunity to encourage one another, pray together, and challenge ourselves to walk by faith—not by sight. Come take the next step with us.

“The Great Exchange” is a place for women of all ages to encounter the transforming love of Jesus. Together, we’ll discover what it means to exchange beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and heaviness for hope.

This group is about more than inspiration—it’s about a personal relationship with Jesus. As we grow in Him, we’ll learn to find our true identity in Christ, not in men or in relationships that can never fully satisfy the void in our hearts.

Come experience the freedom, healing, and wholeness that happen when we lay down what’s broken and receive what only Jesus can give in this eight week study.
