What is a GROWTH GROUP?

Growth Groups are small, topical groups that dive deeper into discipleship with discussions on topics like Hearing God, Practicing the Way of Jesus, and Living Fearless.

Details on specific groups coming soon! 

“Growth Groups” are designed to foster intentional discipleship and spiritual growth through deep, interactive study. In these small, supportive communities, participants engage with Scripture or Christ-centered content to deepen their understanding of God’s Word and apply it to their daily lives. 

The focus is not just on learning but on transformation—challenging and encouraging one another to grow in faith and live out the teachings of Jesus. 

Each group will meet regularly for 8 weeks to discuss insights, ask questions, and pray together. The goal of “Growth Groups” is to equip believers with tools needed for ongoing discipleship and for strengthening their walk with God.

Our Growth Groups

Join author, John Bevere, as he explores the transformative power of living with a deep reverence for God.  Bevere shows us that the healthy and holy fear of the Lord—marked by awe, wonder, and profound honor—enables believers to experience God’s presence more intimately and live in alignment with His will. Through scripture, personal stories, and practical insights, the book demonstrates how cultivating this leads to greater wisdom, spiritual maturity, and freedom from sin. Bevere challenges readers to embrace a lifestyle of humility and obedience, positioning themselves to fulfill their God-given purpose and experience His fullness.

Leaders:  Tako & Jennifer Palthe

Time:  Friday Nights at 6:30

This book by John Mark Comer serves as a contemporary guide to discipleship, emphasizing the importance of being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and doing what He did. Comer introduces nine ancient spiritual practices—Sabbath, Solitude, Scripture, Generosity, Prayer, Community, Fasting, Witness, and Service—making them accessible and actionable for modern believers. He advocates for the adoption of a “Rule of Life,” a structured yet flexible framework to intentionally organize one’s life around these practices, fostering spiritual growth and alignment with Jesus’ teachings.
