Am I doing this right?

This is a question every parent asks themselves at some point—or at multiple points—along the way. In this 7-week study, Parenting: Getting It Right, Andy and Sandra Stanley, combine their experience and wisdom to help parents identify and embrace their it—their win as parents.

Life is painful. Its unique challenges, difficulties, bumps, and bruises can leave us lost and drowning in their wake.

Jesus said, “In this world you will have tribulations….” He did not say we might have troubles and difficulties, but that we will. In this study, Dr. Tony Evans offers spiritual principles for facing such pain and hurt with a biblical perspective. Love and happiness are on the other side if we learn how to walk through the hurt with both peace and joy.



This eight-week study follows leadingstepfamily expert Ron L. Deal as he reveals fundamental steps to blended family success and provides practical, realistic solutions to the issues you face as a stepfamily. Whether married or soon-to-be married, you’ll discover how to solve the everyday puzzles of stepchildren relationships.

Racism is not just a problem of the past-it continues to divide God’s people. Even when we’re committed to learning and changing for the better, we may not know how to heal the brokenness racism has caused. So how can we, the church, heal our racial divide? How do we become the multiethnic church that God desires us to be? In this 7-week group, we will learn the biblical call for a multiethnic church and understand the ways Jesus brings healing to the racial divide.

GROUPS COMING APRIL 2027

As a church, we prioritize families – not only do we create amazing environments for kids and students – we also provide resources and experiences for parents and caregivers so that we can work together to lead the next generation to know, love and serve Jesus. And we also know that what families are experiencing is very rarely black and white or easy. We have created a new parent short-term group which supports Christian parents of LGBTQ children – of all ages – from children still in the home to adult children or family members. This 3 month group will be lead by experienced parents who have walked the walk and talked the talk and want to create a safe place for parents to share and learn and be supported!

 

Life brings stress, pressure, and challenges that can leave us feeling stuck or disconnected—from ourselves, others, and even God. Whether or not you’d describe yourself as anxious, we all face moments of worry and overwhelm.

Managing Anxiety: Yours and Theirs will help you recognize what’s happening beneath the surface and give you practical tools to respond in healthier, more life-giving ways. Together, we’ll learn how to lower reactivity, break stuck patterns, and move toward greater peace and connection. Join us for this 6-week study!

The Bible, Simplified is a 9-week, church-wide study designed to help you understand the Bible—what it is, how to read it, and how it all fits together.

This spring, our entire church is growing together as we build confidence and clarity in opening Scripture. Whether you’re new to faith, returning to church, or have followed Jesus for years, this study will give you practical tools to engage the Bible in a meaningful and life-giving way.

If you’ve ever felt unsure where to start with the Bible—or you’re ready to go deeper—this study is for you. Register today and join us as we learn and grow together.

Cost: $35 per person

Childcare (on-campus groups only): $45 per family (first come, first served; space is limited)
