Sign Up For Connect Groups
Connect Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationships with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why small groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
What On Earth Am I Here For?
The start date for this group is Wednesday, September 21st.
The Purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, peace of mind, or even happiness. It’s far greater than your family, career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. In this study, we will discover hat you were born by God’s purpose and for his purpose and what that purpose is.
Childcare is available at our regular Wednesday Night Service

We Saved You A Seat
The start date of this group is Thursday, September 22nd.
In today’s busy world, we’re wired to appear “fine,” warding off authenticity and shielding ourselves from judgment. We hide behind the hum of busyness to escape intimate friendships with the women God has placed in our lives. But we do want a seat at the table. We yearn for authentic relationships and the opportunity to be the opposite of “fine” with people who cheer for us. But comparison, envy, and entitlement often stop us from pulling out a chair at the table. Friendship can be hard, making new friends even harder, and maintaining genuine friendship the hardest of all. In this Bible study, we will explore our relationship with Jesus as the ultimate model for authentic friendship. Nothing shapes us like the impact of a friend—it’s how Jesus radically and intimately connects with us. So instead of chasing perfection, overcome your fear of being known and find the courage to connect.

None Like Him
This start date for this group is Sunday, September 18th.
God is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign, infinite, and incomprehensible. We’re not. And that’s a good thing. Our limitations are by design. We were never meant to be God. But at the root of every sin is our rebellious desire to possess attributes that belong to God alone. Calling us to embrace our limits as a means of glorifying God’s limitless power, Jen Wilkin invites us to celebrate the freedom that comes when we rest in letting God be God.

Hunt Moore
The start date of this group is Monday, September 19th.
The Hunt Moore Group is much less about hunting and Moore about doing. If you look at the life of Jesus, He was always on the hunt to do the Lord’s work. He served, he preached, he prayed, he healed. Jesus was constantly looking for a need to meet. As Christians we should be doing the same, living a life that resembles the life of Christ, always looking for a need to meet. Always hunting Moore.

5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn't Quit
The start date for this group is Monday, September 19th.
Every woman will eventually face it: the temptation to give in and give up. But something transformative happens when a woman decides to persevere in the face of difficulty. A woman who refuses to quit influences her world in ways she could never have imagined. Unfolding over 6 sessions, we will walk through the Book of Ruth, focusing on the Moabite woman’s 5 practical habits that kept her eyes on God: Ruth accepted the assignment of refinement, followed through on her commitments despite her feelings, remained open to the movement of God, gave others what she needed, and moved forward in faith.

Elijah
The start date for this group is Tuesday, September 20th.
Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho.
And Elijah—calling down fire on Mount Carmel. Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory—months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable. Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity. Those who patiently wait on God in the darkness emerge with their holy loyalty cemented, their courage emblazoned, and their confident belief in Him set afire.

Don't Give The Enemy A Seat At Your Table
The start date for this group is Sunday, September 18th.
In this group we will unpack Psalm 23 to offer insight into how to overcome the enemy’s lies and find peace and spiritual security in any circumstance or situation. God has prepared a table for you. It’s set with a banquet of peace, clarity, and purpose. But Satan is constantly looking for an invitation, seeking to fill your mind with distractions, fear, worry, insecurity, anxiety, temptation, doubt…It’s an ongoing battle. But you can learn how to protect your mind from unhealthy thoughts and experience rest and nourishment at God’s table. You can find freedom from the battles in your mind if you allow Jesus, the Good Shepherd, to lead the battle. Learn how to find encouragement, hope, and strength no matter what valleys you face. The Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table study offers biblical insight on how to:
- Cancel the lies that will wreck your life and take the empowering steps to live fully alive in Christ
- Restore peace and rest in your life by taking authority over your thoughts
- Break free from the endless cycle of destructive thinking and recapture your emotions
- Embrace the true purpose behind your journey through challenging circumstances

Breathe by the Poolside
The start date for this group is Thursday, September 22nd.
Do you need some breathing room? With a jam packed life, what’s missing is space – space for God to speak and room for you to hear. It’s time to set aside the activities and busyness that swallow up rest and peace. It’s time for us to breathe and build margin into our lives for God. The Longs invite you to join them in studying “Breathe – Making Room for Sabbath” where we will discover Sabbath margin, the boundary God enables us to put around things we enjoy so that we never become slaves again.
Materials Needed: Bathing Suit and Towel to enjoy the pool before or after group!
