***** Growth Groups 2026 *****
Growth groups generally meet weekly for 10-12 weeks. The size of a small group is 3 to 15 people. There is a Fall session, a Winter session, and a Spring session, with breaks between each. The growth groups are an opportunity to:
- Grow in your faith;
- Step out of your comfort zone into a safe environment with new people and new ideas;
- Allow casual friendships to form without feeling a need to get too personal;
- Develop friends who could then become more intimate friends outside of the group;
- Receive prayer if you so desire.
Please contact Dan Rak for more information.
Consider joining one of the Growth Groups to help you in your walk with God. Right now the groups are mostly on summer break. Watch for new groups coming in the Fall.
Alpha
- Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8:30pm, begins with dinner each Wednesday, in the fellowship hall, in the church building.
- Began May 6th. Look for next Alpha in September.
Alpha is a place to explore the Christian faith with others. It’s a series of conversations focused on the questions of life, faith, and meaning. Each session includes a time to connect with others, hear a talk on some element of faith, and then a chance for people to share their own questions and perspectives with the group.
GriefShare
- Thursdays, 7:00pm, in the blue room, in the church building.
- Begins in September.
A GriefShare group is a safe, welcoming place, where people understand the difficult emotions of grief and receive valuable guidance leading to relief, comfort, and peace of mind. All who have lost a loved one are welcome to join.
For more information check the website GriefShare.org.
Dinner and a Movie
- Tuesdays, 6:45-9:15pm, at Ed Rak’s house
- Ongoing through the year.
Begins with dinner and includes a movie, discussion, and prayer. This group has been meeting together a long time and feels like family. You are welcome to join!
(But first let Ed know you are coming so he can make sure you have a place at the table.)
Kinship Group
- Tuesdays, 7:00 – 8:30pm, at Dan Rak’s house
- Begins later. Watch for announcements.
This growth group will be a “classic” kinship group where we enjoy each others’ company in the context of a good Bible study.
