We use the “Explore The Bible” Series as we study the Bible one book at a time. The continuity of a book study helps to understand the need to grow in our faith. As our lives change (body, soul and spirit), we learn our Heavenly Father is all-sufficient to care for His children. He is forever nurturing us toward a more mature faith. In group time, there is lecture, testimonies, questions and comments. We would enjoy having you join us in this challenging quest toward growth.

We emphasize a balanced and thoughtful approach to the study of Scriptures, connecting the profound truths of timeless wisdom to the grace necessary to meet the practical demands of daily life. Our goal is to help guide believers of varying ages to move their faith from theory to action. We participate in service projects for the church and community, plus regular informal group outings.
