HOME Groups

(Homes Open for Ministry and Encouragement)

Throughout the week we meet together in HOMES.  These small group meetings are great opportunities to grow in our love for God and for one another. It’s also a great way to slow down and focus on the things that really matter in life.  Each week we study God’s Word, pray and encourage each other.   Dessert and coffee are often a part of the evening as well.

Alpha

Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed friendly setting.   Alpha has become a worldwide phenomenon and is offered in 155 countries. Each week people enjoy food, laughter, and learning in a fun and friendly atmosphere where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile….  Questions like- Is there a God?  What is life all about?  Where did I come from?  Where am I going? 

For more information or to find out about our next Alpha please feel free to contact us.

Personal Growth

As a church we seek to provide materials that will help people spend time in God’s Word each day.   “Our Daily Bread,” and “Scripture Union” are among the materials we make available

Equipping our leaders

We see the development of leadership as being an important part of our mission so we provide opportunities for our leaders to discover, develop and live out their leadership abilities.  Realizing that Christ’s church is much larger than our own local church or denomination we also welcome members from other churches to participate

• SEAN
• Short Term Missions 
• Conferences and Seminars

How to Build A High Impact Church

This former satellite broadcast featuring Chip Ingram is being made available via DVD at our monthly Leadership meeting.

SEAN

Students from 6 different churches are currently enrolled in SEAN, A Bible College Quality Course without the expense or travel.

Quotes from former students

"SEAN is incredible! A great time of personal growth and an eye opener to the life and times of Jesus Christ.  I wouldn't have missed it for the world!"

"WOW! I love it!"

"I have used my SEAN books as a resource more than all of my Bible College text books combined!"

"All I wanted was an in-depth Bible study.  What I ended up with was an in-depth Bible study, confidence in sharing my beliefs, a confidence and desire to turn around and teach others, and a well worn Bible!"

"SEAN is the most effective tool for personal growth, ministry preparation and leadership development I have ever seen."

About SEAN

SEAN stands for Study by Extensions for All Nations. It was developed overseas as a way of training people who could not go to Bible college for ministry.  Students study at home using a book that becomes their teacher.  Once a week they meet in a small group setting with a tutor.  Each class consists of prayer time, a quiz, and a time of discussion.  There are a total of 3 books and each book takes 3 months to complete. 

The focus of the course is on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ as recorded in the book of Matthew.  As you study God's word you'll also learn basic doctrine (i.e. Why do I believe in the Trinity and the importance of this doctrine?), false cults and how to recognize them, Bible study techniques, the book of Acts, missions, Bible geography, Christian ethics, family life and much more!

Short Term Missions

Our Short Term Mission Trips involve coming alongside ministries in other parts of the world to assist them in their ministry in whatever capacity is needed.   In the months leading up to their trip team members meet on a regular basis to prepare for their cross-cultural experience. The trips impact the communities they visit and have a lasting impact on the team members themselves.

Seminars and conferences

We also promote and participate in local leadership seminars and conferences
