Small Churches

Do you desire to dig deeper into God’s Word and get to know others in our church in a smaller group setting? Come on Sunday mornings from fall to spring and join a fellowship group, what we call a Small Church. We have several new Small Church groups starting on September 8, 2019 that are tailored to people and families in unique seasons of life. Come grow in your faith and meet new friends along the way! More details below:

FAITH BUILDERS

Faith Builders Small Church is a gathering place for all ages seeking to grow and build each other up in faith and become disciple makers of Jesus Christ. Various members of the class serve as teachers and facilitators leading through studies and lively discussions of books of the Bible, current books and relevant topics.

We have regular in-class socials and monthly lunches at the mall food court, as well as holiday gatherings. Service projects doing yard work at a local non-profit allow opportunities to develop spiritual gifts and build community.

Our purpose: "To prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up; until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:12-13

We are a fellowship of mixed ages who are growing, maturing, making disciples and becoming disciple makers of Jesus and developing legacies.

The Legacy Builders class encourages the strengthening and maturing our walk with Jesus through prayer, Bible based study, interaction and sharing.

This year we will study a series of challenging questions and applications designed to focus and strengthen our walk and the sharing of our faith.

We promote community through fellowship and service. Socials are scheduled throughout the year: road rallies, country line dancing, potlucks, harvest fest; chili cook-off and kayaking.

Outreach projects include: flipping mattresses at senior citizens housing, cleaning cemetery; helping senior citizens with repairs on their homes, helping at Pregnancy Resource Center, working at Royal Family Kids' Camps. We also do outreach projects in other states and countries.

There is always plenty of discussion, whether we study the Bible, Christian books, or topics.

If you want to connect and develop friends, make disciples and train a Joshua, and develop a legacy with your family, then the Legacy Builders is for you.
