Small Groups are a place to build meaningful relationships, grow in your faith, and do life alongside others. Whether you’re looking for a group centered around a specific interest, season of life, Bible study, activity, or hobby, there’s a place for you. And if you don’t see the group you’re looking for, you can even start one!

Real life change happens in authentic community, and we’d love to help you find your people.

This past weekend, we celebrated our Dream Team members — the people who so faithfully help make church feel like home! 💛

Every smile at the door, every kid's classroom, every prayer, every behind-the-scenes detail… it all matters more than words can say. Our Dream Team is made up of so many different gifts, strengths, and personalities, and together they reflect the heart of Jesus through the way they serve others so selflessly.

These slides only reflect some of the many teams we have at our church. Thank you to every person who shows up early, stays late, lifts others up, and serves with excellence and joy. The impact you make reaches farther than you know. 🙌

“I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” - John 12:24

In this verse, Jesus reminds us that growth often begins with surrender. A seed has to be planted beneath the surface before new life can grow from it. In the same way, God often does his deepest work in the hidden, uncomfortable, or unexpected seasons of our lives.

The growth God wants to do in us happens through prayer, being in the Word, serving, trusting him, and saying “yes” even when we don’t know the outcome. What feels small, buried, or unseen today could be the very thing God uses to produce something beautiful tomorrow! 🌱

Growth is God’s will for you! 🌱

This weekend, we were reminded that one of the greatest ways God grows us is through serving. We don’t serve because God needs us—we serve because God uses it to shape us, stretch us, and make us more like Jesus.

God uniquely designed each of us with gifts, passions, abilities, and experiences that can make a difference. And when each person does their part, the Church grows, people are reached, and lives are changed. When you step out to serve in your SAHPE, watch how God will grow you!
