HOW DO YOU GET INVOLVED?

We hope you will find a small group where you can connect with others and grow in your faith. If you can’t attend a group every week, don’t let that deter you from joining one! Be present as you are able. 

E-mail the contact person if you’d like to participate or for more information.

Advent Study

Join Pastor Jana for an Advent study based on the book “The Christmas Letters” by Magrey deVega.

  • Hear about the miracle of Christ’s birth from those who first told the story. Read the New Testament letters – Romans, 1 John, Philippians, and Colossians – as your first Christmas letters of the season. Find within them an invitation from God to deepen your understanding of what we believe about Jesus, fully human and fully divine. Embrace a fuller commitment to Jesus Christ this Advent season.

  • Wednesday evenings for 3 weeks from 6:30-8:00 p.m. beginning December 4.

  • If you would like to participate, contact Pastor Jana.
