Twelve Ordinary Men of the Bible
Jesus chose ordinary men–fishermen, tax collectors, political zealots–and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from people who were otherwise unremarkable. The twelve disciples were not the stained-glass saints we imagine. On the contrary, they were truly human, all too prone to mistakes, misstatements, wrong attitudes, lapses of faith, and bitter failure. Simply put, they were flawed people, just like us. But under Jesus’ teaching and touch, they became a force that forever changed the world. During this small group study for men, you will learn that disciples are living proof that God’s strength is made perfect in weakness.

Hey, Mama, In Christ, You Are Enough

Join this group of moms for a time of reflection that will show you that you don’t have to be the perfect mom, but that in Christ, you are enough.

Because of Bethlehem: A Small Group for Advent
No one expected the Messiah to come the way he did. Yet, the way he came was every bit as important as the coming itself. The manger is the message.

Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record…just grace. Join us in the midst of your hectic Christmas season for a 4-sessions where you will revive your wonder that the One who made everything chose to make himself nothing for us. You can rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas who offers lasting hope and help yourself to lay down your endless Christmas to-do list so that you can receive what Jesus has already done.
