TRUTH - Galatians Book Study
As many of us read through the Bible, we often come up on stories and teachings that we wish to dive deeper into. Sometimes we hear a message on Sunday from one of the books of the Bible on Sunday and wish to go further. Here’s your opportunity to do this with the Book of Galatians. This Coed group will meet on Monday’s 6:30 HOME group.

How God Makes Men Men’s Group
Ten epic stories. Ten proven principles. One Huge promise for your life. --God takes strong men, breaks them down and makes them weak.

For the man who is broken and confused, How God Makes Men will bring hope, healing, and biblical clarity.Join other men each Tuesday evening 7:00PM FC Upper Stairwell

Like lots of people, you may have some questions about faith. But you don't need someone to lecture you on what to believe. You need someone who is helpful, someone who has been where you are and has had their own questions. You need someone who understands the Christian faith and can offer helpful explanations yet allow you to draw your own conclusions. That's exactly what you'll find with Starting Point.
Starting Point is not a lecture. It's a conversation. On any given week you can participate or you can just listen. It's facilitated by leaders who are both authentic and knowledgeable. They’re experts at creating judgment-free zones where you can safely explore what faith is all about. They’ll guide you through an experience that’s helped thousands of people process their questions about faith. We’d love for you to join the conversation on Tuesdays 7:00PM HOME Group.
John and Michele Vigneri

In this book study, the author, Stasi Eldredge, meets readers in their painful realities and offers an invitation to a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world. This joy does not Pollyannaish-ly ignore life's heartache; rather, it insists that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. Join other women (cap 8) on Tuesdays at 6:30PM for this HOME Group.
