"Say Hello" Building Relationships in Christ (Ladies)
The "Say Hello" journey to serve Muslim women is a course designed to inspire and engage Christian women in the local church for the privilege of Jesus-purposed friendships with Muslim women around us.

Ladies Captivated
Captivated is a six-week women's study rooted in Proverbs 3:5–6 (NKJV): Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Acknowledging God is more than asking Him to sign off on your decisions. In the original Hebrew, the word yada means to acknowledge, perceive, recognize, and to know—but that's not the casual form of knowing! It's the deeply intimate and personal way that we get to know someone. This definition is important because it helps us recognize how God is present in our everyday life. Each week the study will focus on knowing God in different aspects of our life: Knowing Him in your emotional life, Knowing Him in your physical life, Knowing Him in your relational life, Knowing Him in your spiritual life, Knowing Him in your intellectual life. Through trials and tests, questions and confusion, God gives us the opportunity to know Him more. We will learn about some of the many names of God—which serve as windows into His abilities, nature, and character—and how He reveals himself to us according to our circumstances.

The Engagement Project
Most of us know the Scriptures which describe why Jesus came. Standing before Pontius Pilot before His crucifixion, Jesus said He came to testify to the Truth.

The Engagement Project’s ten tours begin with, “Why did Jesus leave?”, and what are we supposed to do with His teachings and commands until His return?

Dr Tackett answers these questions using videos, Scripture and discussions in a small group format. We all know that we are commanded to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth. If we’re honest, most of us have no idea what that looks like or where to start. Engagement Project uses a building block approach to answer those questions, to give us confidence as we engage with others for Jesus.

When we finish Engagement Project, we “ordinary, everyday Christians” will have the life skills necessary to bear kingdom fruit for God as we engage people around us with grace, wisdom and truth. This will transform our spiritual lives as well as those around us.

Group is Full - Parenting: THe early years
Welcome to our Church Care Group for Parenting, where we explore how biblical wisdom can transform our approach to raising children. In this supportive community, we gather to study Scripture, share personal experiences, and discuss practical strategies that align with God’s design for families. Each session is a time to reflect on passages that inspire love, discipline, and grace in our homes, helping us to build strong, Christ-centered relationships with our children.

Whether you’re facing the everyday challenges of parenting or seeking deeper spiritual insight, our group provides a safe space to learn, encourage, and grow together. Join us on this journey as we embrace the timeless truths of the Bible to nurture our children’s faith and character—and, in the process, enrich our own walk with God.

We’ll be reading Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family by Paul David Tripp.
