These Study-Based Small Groups will begin in January/early February. These groups will meet for about 10 weeks. There are three Study-Based Groups this winter to choose from. Are you looking for another kind of group to belong to? Check out our LIFE Groups and Sunday School classes here.
Crown Financial Ministries
There are over 2,350 verses in theBible that address everything you need to know about handling money. Crown Financial Ministries is a 10-week, in-depth study of what scripture teaches about money. Some of the subjects covered are debt, spending, earning, saving, investing, giving, and teaching our children how to handle money. There are four requirements for participation in this study:
1. Memorize one assigned scripture each week.
2. Pray daily for each member of your group.
3. Attend a minimum of 8 of the 10 classes.
4. Complete weekly homework assignments
The cost is $30 per individual and includes the cost of The Worst Financial Mistakes in the Bible and How You can Avoid Them and Do Well - Crown Biblical Financial Study Manual. The study requires approximately two hours of preparation outside class. It is recommended that married couples take the class together.
Begins Sunday, January 27.

Taste and See
God is a foodie who wants to transform your supper into sacrament. This groundbreaking study provides a culinary exploration ofScripture. Author and presenter, Margaret Feinberg, goes on a remarkable journey to unearth God's perspective on food. With each visit, Margaret asks, "How do you read these Scriptures, not as theologians, but in light of what you do every day?" Their answers will forever change the way you read the Bible -and approach every meal. Perhaps God's focus on food is meant to do more than satisfy our stomachs. It's meant to heal our souls, as we learn to taste and see the goodness of God together.

Sundays at 4 pm – location TBD

Parenting Through the Phases
You have approximately 936 weeks from the time your child is born until he or she graduates from high school. It goes by fast, and kids change and grow quickly. It’s as if they shift or move on just as you begin to figure them out. It can make the responsibility to shape a child’s faith and character feel overwhelming.
The Phase Project synthesizes personal experience, academic research, and hours of focus groups with leaders to provide parents with exactly what they need to make the most of each phase in their kid’s life. This group will help you discover what’s changing about your kid over the next 52 weeks, the six things your kid needs most, and four conversations to have with your kid while they are in each phase.
Facilitator: Jolinda Boelkins
