Discipleship

Discipleship is a journey of intentional decisions leading to maturity in your relationship with Jesus so that you become more like Him in your attitudes, focus and ultimately behavior. It’s not something that happens by accident or overnight, and it can’t be completed in a six-week class. This is a lifelong commitment to follow God with your whole self and to both learn from and eventually teach others about how to follow Him.

Adult Grow Groups

Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays | In Homes

Adult Grow Groups are small group discipleship communities designed to help you become grounded in the word, alive in the Spirit, and sent on mission through a weekly gathering focused on the Bible, the soul, and the response.

Aspen | YFC 202 (Level 2)

Aspen is a group of believers committed to walking together and growing in Christ. We are families and individuals, many with children ranging in age from babies to college. Our group is small enough that most feel comfortable sharing their thoughts in class, but large enough that you would also be at ease just listening. We're big on serving, so you'll see us throughout the church as helpers with children and youth, ushers, greeters, and volunteers in many other ways.

Builder's Class | MSLC 232 (Level 2)

This vibrant group of men and women in their 70s and 80s shares life together with joy, prayer, and laughter.

Covenant Seekers | Parker Hall (Level 1)

A warm, pleasant group of mature adults who love singing and snacking every Sunday. We are Christians in earnest who support and pray for each other and actively participate in various ministries of the church. In our class sessions we are not afraid to express opinions but very much enjoy learning more about the Word and being encouraged weekly to be more Christ-like. Zoom connection is provided every Sunday for those who cannot be with us in person. It is always a delight to meet new friends and invite them to join our fellowship.

Logos | Parlor (Level 3)

Logos is a group of people of all ages and life stages who meet weekly to spend time in an in-depth study and discussion of God's Word. Jerry and Jane Malcolm are the facilitators of this group, which meets every week in the parlor and on Zoom.

One Accord | YFC 208 (Level 2)

We are a friendly class of adults moving toward retirement, growing together in faith and friendship. Our time together is rooted in Bible study, heartfelt prayer, and genuine care for one another. Monthly small groups and gatherings give us space to connect more deeply through fellowship and study. Here, you'll find a supportive community where you can belong, grow, and walk with others through life's transitions.

One in the Spirit | YFC 201 (Level 2)

We are a joyful, close-knit class committed to worship, prayer, and caring for one another.
