Small Groups
We believe life change happens in the context of relationships. Small groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. Our groups are centered on a variety of topics, life stages, and interests. No matter where you are in your journey with God, you’ll find friendly people ready to connect and grow together.

| Leaders: Steven & Andrea Hacker The small group will be a discussion on the virtues of Gary Chapman’s book called, “Five Love Languages.” The book and discussions following are a way for a person to understand themselves and what makes them feel loved as well as their loved ones. It allows for interpersonal and intrapersonal communication on love and communication. |

| Leader: Terri Black Bring Your Own Bible and Dog. Our easy walking activity is centered around the specific skills needed to visit a family member in hospice or nursing home facility. Easy skill development for the doggies and then, as a group, doggies stay at your side while we study from Pastor’s lesson from that week. A fun way to learn how to prepare your dog for going public, lots of fun and great Bible study. |
| Leaders: Bob & Tamyra Jacobs Join us for a study by Dr. David Jeremiah on how tomorrow’s prophecies foreshadow today’s problems. We cannot live by lies. We must live by our biblical convictions. In this study we will deal with the first five of ten prophetic issues as current as morning news. We will discuss the problems that Jesus predicted – precursors to the Tribulation – and learn how we should face these problems. The last five prophetic issues will be the topic of a follow-up small group. |
| Leader: Larry Burns This Group will meet on Thursdays at 7:00 pm and there will be 2 weekend days (Saturday) where we will do outings “Off Road”. The off-road outing are on selected trails with very low difficulty and within an hour of the Church. The outings are typically early 8:00 am starts with our meeting somewhere along the trail allowing us to take in some of the local desert beauty, before the start of Summer! Bring your camera, your appetite and your wisdom and join the adventure! |
