Our Adult Ministry ministers to all adults from
18 year old young adults through senior adults.

We offer Community Groups and Next Step classes,
 

Community Groups For College & Career through Senior Adults

Community Groups are the best place to connect with others. They are where our large church becomes small and feels like family. They are the backbone of our church. When you join a Community Group you can expect these five things.

All of our Adult Community Groups are in the same Bible Study.  We are systematically looking at each book of the Bible and will have studied the entire Bible over 8 years. Each week stands alone so that new people may comfortably join in at any time. Click here to see what book of the Bible we are currently studying. If the Bible is new to you, don’t hesitate to come, we’re all learning together.

Each of our Adult Community Groups is listed below in the left hand column under the "Connect Tab" . You will find a photo of the teachers, links to group Facebook pages, and other information to help you determine the group that is best for you.

Next Step Classes

We also offer short-term topical studies called Next Step Classes.  These classes meet on both campuses or in homes. They typically last anywhere from one week, up to thirteen weeks.  We offer classes on a variety of topics including marriage, parenting, biblical finances, sharing your faith, general Bible studies, and more.
