Life Group List

Many meet in members’ homes.  Some meet in the church building.  Time together usually consists of prayer and praise requests, a discussion of a topic or current study material, some refreshment and a general conviviality among members.  Jesus calls us to be in relationship with Him and with other followers and to help and support each other.  This can often be accomplished best in small communities called Life groups. 

We must recognize that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.

Iron Sharpens Iron -  This group is for men.  It is led by Steve Benford and meets on the second Sat. of the month at the church, 8AM.  All generations are represented and welcome.

Desperate Housewives - Unlike the name suggests, this group’s members are not all desperate nor are they all housewives.  Ages range from 30’s through 70’s and consist of easygoing ladies who try not to take themselves too seriously, but love doing life as well as Bible study together.  The group meets every other week at the church, Thursday evenings from 5-6PM.  Contact person and group leader is Kelly Schell.
