Growth Groups are Living Faith’s small groups of about a dozen people that meet in order to learn more about the Bible, grow in faith, and build friendships with great people. It’ is a lot of fun! Growth Groups are not designed to eat up your schedule. Most groups meet once a week for about sixty minutes.
Growth Groups are a great way to:
- Pray with others about tough times and every day needs.
- Meet new people from around the area and deepen lasting friendships.
- Learn and have fun with other people who are going through similar things as you.

Earl Grey with Ephesians (Coffee Cup Bible Studies)
by Sandra Glahn | Led by Tina Johnson
Sundays, Oct. 18 – Nov. 22, 4:30–5:30pm
“Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” Earl Grey with Ephesians is a six-week study exploring the answers Scripture gives to these questions, and how to live in light of them. In the first half of his letter, Paul explains what it means to have a new identity in Christ; in the second half, he shows how to live in light of that identity. His words continue to speak powerfully to believers today: knowing who we are in Christ is essential to how we live.
1000 Gifts
by Ann Voskamp | Led by Carol Pierce
Saturdays, Sep. 19 – Oct. 17, 1:00–2:00pm
How do we find joy in the life we already have? This study invites a new way of seeing, one that opens our eyes to ordinary, amazing grace, and a new way of becoming present to God that brings deep and lasting joy. What if the life you already have is the life you’ve always wanted? This group is DVD-driven; no book purchase needed.
(Re)Thinking Faith
Led by Pastor Roger Jasper
Wednesdays, 6:15pm, beginning Sep. 16
Whether you’re new to faith or returning after a harder experience with church, this ten-week class offers an honest, unhurried look at what Christians believe and why. It walks through the core convictions of the faith, God, Scripture, being human, Jesus, belonging, baptism and communion, how the church makes decisions together, and what it means to be sent into the world, with room for real doubt at every step. This isn’t a class where you’re handed a checklist to affirm; it’s a place to ask hard questions, wrestle honestly with difficult texts, and, by the end, write a short statement of what you actually believe, in your own words. New believers and longtime skeptics alike are welcome exactly as they are.
Good Faith Bible Study
Led by David Brandon
Sundays, 9:30am
This weekly study uses lectionary-based lessons from Good Faith Magazine, a quarterly, 64-page publication offering thoughtful analysis and Bible study content for Christian living. This fall’s lessons are written by a rich range of voices, including Rev. Mary Alice Birdwhistell, Dr. Tyler Tankersley, Rev. Sean Palmer, and Rev. Dr. Jennifer Garcia Bashaw. For those wanting additional enrichment, the Good Faith Bible Studies podcast is available free on Spotify, Apple, Google, or at goodfaithmedia.org. All are welcome to join us as we listen, discuss, and wrestle together with what these texts mean for our lives today.
