Growth & Connection Small Groups

The purpose of Wednesday evening Growth & Connection Night is to facilitate the process of moving people to the "next level" in their spiritual growth. Wednesday evening is not about programs as much as it is about creating an environment where people can deepen and grow in their commitment to Jesus Christ and service in the local church.

New small groups are starting throughout the month of September. find a group that fits you and embark on a life journey with other believers. it is god’s design for us to “do life” together, so join a small group and build relationships at the same time.

Stepping Forward is a fellowship of emotional and spiritual healing. With the Word of God as our foundation, we have come to believe that the 12 step process of recovery will guide us in recovering from the life controlling and crippling issues that enslave us.

The Apostle Peter writes, “for you are slaves to whatever controls you”. The slavery he speaks of takes many forms – childhood abuse, rape, addictions (sexual, alcohol, drug and food), marital strife, depression, sadness, anger and rage and many others. Regardless of your personal issue(s), Stepping Forward can offer you hope and the promise of change.

Through 12 step recovery, supported by the Word of God, we can find spiritual rejuvenation, a strengthened relationship with God and freedom from the chains tethering us to life plaguing issues.
