Hunger and Habits
Description: Satisfy the hunger and create the habit of daily Bible reading. Jump into The Bible Recap (New Testament, chronological reading plan) with us—for a simple, high-impact, Life Group where we’ll follow a daily reading plan that puts the story of Jesus and the early church in sequence. Additionally, there is a short recap (podcast or video) that is engaging and helpful. Each week we’ll gather to talk it through, ask real questions, encourage one another, and keep steady momentum—perfect if you’ve struggled to stay consistent or you’re ready for a fresh start of diving into God’s Word.

Bridging Faith: Parents as Disciple-Makers
God uses—has always used—families to change the world. Faith is formed as families go out into the world on mission with God and return home to nurture faith and invite God into the rhythm of home life. This course will help parents develop four key areas to help their children: building a Restorative Community, putting Faith in Action, creating a family Rule of Life, and sharing their Family Story.

This is a practical, Bible-based approach to emotional health that’s useful for everyday life–both for men and women. This is about learning sustainable tools to handle stress, anxiety, and pressure in healthier ways. Each week includes simple, real-life practices you can actually use. If you’re looking for practical growth, honest conversation, and tools that work in real life, this group is for you.
