LIFEGROUPS & CLASSES


LifeGroups are an opportunity to find freedom, experience community and grow spiritually in a smaller, more relational context than we experience on Sunday morning.

Classes are an opportunity to learn and deepen your understanding of God and His purpose for your life.

Sundays at 2:30pm at a home in Olney

Start Date February 5th, with a Conference May 12th & 13th

Michelle Zetts & Nancy Jones

Are you ready to live life abundantly (John 10:10)?  “Growing in Freedom” will equip you to live the victorious life God intended.  In addition to the 12-session small group, we will end with a powerful conference (May 12-13) focused on overcoming our past so we can run to and with God.  Because the topics build on each other, regular attendance and weekly homework is part of this group.  Cost: $15 for curriculum book plus a $35 retreat cost.  Register soon as spots are limited!

NOTE: Because the Freedom and Holy Spirit groups are both a significant time commitment, we ask that you only commit to one of these groups at a time. This will ensure you can invest in and get out of all that you can from each group. This will also allow us to best use our limited enrollment.

In his video study “Introduction to the Holy Spirit,” John Bevere will lead us step-by-step into what life in the Spirit is all about. Workbook cost: $10. Register soon as there are only 15 slots in this group!
