Groups Begin August 20th

Essentials of Faith Part 1: “What Is A Christian?”

Ask any group what it means to be a Christian, and we will hear different answers.
But what unifies us? What are the basic characteristics of our faith that every Christian affirms?
In this six-session series, Francis Chan will lead us in an exploration of key concepts common to all Christians through the centuries. No matter what divides us, we are united by these truths about the God we worship
and our relationship with him. Below is a preview video for Essentials of Faith: “What Is A Christian?”

Essentials of Faith Part 2: “Why Does Jesus Matter?”

What makes Jesus such an important person? In this six-session series, pastor and author J.D. Greear will answer the question, “Why does Jesus matter?” He’ll explore who Jesus is, why he came, and what he said and did, to help us understand the life-changing effect Jesus had—and continues to have—on the world. Join J.D. and see the difference that Jesus can make in your life. Below is a preview video for Essentials of Faith: “Why Does Jesus Matter?”

Essentials of Faith Part 3: “Why Do We Need the Bible?”

The Bible is a wonderful book filled with poetry, historical events, exciting narratives, and stories from the life of Jesus. But because it is an ancient text, it can also be intimidating and confusing. Its complexity makes many people wonder if we even need the Bible—can’t we experience God without it? In this six-session series, author and Bible teacher Lisa Harper unpacks the value and importance of the Bible for everyday believers. In this series, we will learn about what the Bible is, how God communicates with us through it, and why we should read it.

Essentials of Faith Part 4: “What Is the Church?”

Everyone seems to have something to say about the church. But what is the church, exactly? Is it a nice building with a steeple? An experience on a Sunday morning? A group of people aligned around certain issues?

In this series, author and pastor Derwin Gray examines Acts and Paul’s letters to explain what the church is, how it began, what it does, and its mission. This series will inspire you to learn from the rich history of the church and will motivate you to act as an empowered member of the family of God.
