LIFE is better when it's lived together! Everyone deserves a safe place where they can experience "LIFE TOGETHER" with friends.
In a Life Group, you will meet people at various stages in their Christianity who gather in various places on a semester basis, discussing various topics to develop their relationship with God and others. Members develop friendships, pray for one another's needs, and find ongoing ways to stay connected through social activities.
All of us long to be connected: It's how God created us! Our groups give you the opportunity to connect with other people just like you who are endeavoring to live life to the fullest for Jesus Christ. Life Groups let you pursue LIFE TOGETHER in the company of friends.
Our Groups focus on meeting needs in many different areas. We call them HUBS. Click on any of our HUBS to see what groups we are offering in our current semester. They are:

The support group participants, whatever their needs, find the extra care and encouragement necessary to grow beyond the wounds of life's battles, the difficulties in family relationships, the bondage of addictive habits and behaviors, and the isolation caused by shame. Our meetings are filled with the faith, hope, and love only God can provide through Christ.

Many search for ways to overcome the conflicts in our relationships. Many were raised in families where addictions existed. We have each experienced in our own way the painful trauma that relationships can sometimes bring to our lives. Some have attempted to use others – our mates, friends, and even our children, as our sole source of identity, value, and well-being and as a way of trying to restore within us the emotional losses from our relationships gone bad. We have all learned to survive life, but we are learning to live life. May you find here a new strength within to be what God intended – Precious and Free.
As this is an anonymous group, there will be no online registration. Contact Melanie directly for more information or any questions at 804-347-7364.

Is there a more important gift for us as Christians then to be able to go to our Heavenly Father in prayer? Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to ‘pray without ceasing.’ It is our right and privilege to be able to take all to God: our joys, our concerns, our thanks; to be able to talk with Him. He wants to hear it all. He wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives. James 5:16 says ‘the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.’ This small group will be an exploration into the depths and mysteries of God’s Holy Word as revealed by the Spirit of God. By relying on the Holy Spirit, we can bring clarity, direction, and productivity into our prayer life.
America was founded on recognizing natural rights, but if one listens to the world today, we hear only about human and civil rights. Why? Does it matter? It all begins by answering the question ‘Who are you?’. This class uses the Bible, law, and some history to answer the following questions:
We will end with examining seven relevant principles of personal liberty. Hope to see you there.
This weekly Bible Study Group will be gathering each week for an in-depth study and discussion of God’s Word, embracing its power for daily living.
Are we living in the end-times? Is it possible the players depicted in the book of Revelation could be out in force today? And if they are, would you know how to recognize them? During this study we will be using noted prophecy teacher Dr. David Jeremiah’s teaching material from “Agents of the Apocalypse”. We will explore the book of Revelation through the lens of its major players—the exiled, the martyrs, the elders, the victor, the king, the judge, the 144,000, the witnesses, the false prophet, and the beast. One by one Dr. Jeremiah delves into their individual personalities and motives and the role that each play in biblical prophecy. Then he provides listeners with the critical clues and information needed to recognize their presence and power in the world today. The stage is set, and the curtain is about to rise on Earth's final act. Join us for this end-times prophecy study.
This semester we will study on how to become “Relat(ABLE)”. From the time we are born, relationships shape who we are and how we engage with the world around us. We develop a view of God and others that impacts how we relate to our family and friends. All of us desire more meaningful relationships, but where do we start? We will be using material from Louie Giglio “relat(able)”.
Come join us, and let’s learn together!
The Bible comes to life when we understand many of the customs and traditions that are contained there but are foreign to our western way of thinking. Join with Cathy Jarrell as she shares her insights into many of the customs of Bible times that help us to truly understand the power of scripture. Cathy will share information of Biblical feasts and numerous other traditions that give incredible insight into the power of our faith.
God's word tells us that He will give us a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair to comfort us in our sorrow (Isaiah 61:3 NIV). That's good news, but It is easy to lose sight of these promises when dealing with significant or chronic health challenges day after day. God has given us the Holy Spirit, to comfort us, help us, and to show us how to live victoriously in Him. Yes, EVEN NOW, you can choose to live a life that glorifies God and furthers His kingdom! This small group will teach us more about the Holy Spirit and how he can help us find purpose and peace in the midst of our pain. Help is here!
