Adult Activities
One of the easiest ways to be involved in the life of our church family is to gather weekly with other adults for fellowship, Bible study, prayer, and connection. Each Wednesday night we offer a variety of activities and small groups for our adults.
Our time together each week begins at 6pm in the Chapel for a brief time of worship and prayer. This time is led by Rev. Brandon Owen, Paul Reeves, Maria Goodwin, and BJ Greer. A spotify playlist has been made of the songs that we will be singing during this time of worship. Feel free to click the link. This playlist will be updated throughout the semester.
After worship, adult small groups meet 6:30-7:30pm on Wednesday nights in the Main Building. The room for each group is listed below. If you have students and children, they can participate in the Wonderful Wednesday activities for children that are listed below.
Small Groups | Updated List coming Soon
The Vectors Group
Led by Nick Spratlen: Fellowship Hall Parlor
This co-ed class will be studying the book "The Scandal of the Kingdom: How the Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God" by Dallas Willard. In this groundbreaking book, Willard delves into the transformative power of Jesus's parables, revealing how they show us how to live right now in the kingdom of God. You can purchase a book online here.
Discovering Our Spiritual Identity
Led by Paul Reeves: Room 252 | Class limited to 12.
This group, led by Paul Reeves, our Minister of Pastoral Care and Contemporary Worship, will lead us through the book Discovering Our Spiritual Identity: Practices for God's Beloved by Trevor Hudson. This study will help with simple practices that bring us into God's presence and help us experience life as his beloved.
Women’s Devotion & Prayer Time
Led by Ann Phillips: Room 300
Women are invited to join this group each week as we go through the Parables. Ann Phillips will lead us each week. You do not need to purchase a book, just come ready to learn, discuss, and fellowship with one another.
Wonderful Wednesday
for Children
Wonderful Wednesdays are a time when our children get to explore their faith and learn how they can share God's love around the world, and how to worship God through many different art forms! Each Wednesday children ages 3 years-old* through 5th grade will participate in age-graded Children's Worship Arts classes and rotation classes. Some of the activities your child will experience are singing, drama, playing instruments, missions, Bible study, games, and lots more! For more information about Wonderful Wednesdays, click here.
*Childcare for infants through 2 year olds is provided in our nursery beginning at 5:45pm for parents attending a Bible study, seminar class, or Adult Choir practice.
Student Ministry
