​The three groups for this small group period are:​​

​

Leader: Caleb Stoner

Host: Caleb & Diane Stoner

Time: Tuesday at 6:00 P.M.

Summary: This small group will walk through Craig Groeschel’s book Lead Like It Matters and focus on how we can lead well in everyday life. The study looks at what the Bible says about leadership, not just for elders and deacons, but for everyone. Each week, we’ll talk through practical leadership principles, connect them to Scripture, and discuss how to live them out at home, work, church, and in our relationships. The goal is to grow as Christ-centered leaders and learn how to lead in a way that truly matters.

​

Leader: Justin Coffin

Host: Bill & Justine Terry

Time: Tuesday at 6:00 P.M.​

Summary: Anxiety is everywhere—from our kids and our phones to our schedules and our homes. But Scripture tells us that anxiety isn’t just something to fix; it’s something to tend with care, truth, and hope.
In this small group, we’ll engage insights from the book, "The Anxious Generation", alongside Scripture to explore what is shaping our hearts—and how God gently calls us toward peace. The book helps us observe what’s happening in our culture and nervous systems; the Bible helps us understand it and invites real application.
This group is not about quick fixes or pretending anxiety doesn’t exist. Together, we’ll reflect, pray, and learn what it means to work toward being a non-anxious presence in an anxious world.

Leader: Jim Paul

Host: Josiah & Alexis Stoner

Time: Thursday at 6:00 P.M

Summary: James- The Relationship Between Faith and Works
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” - James 1:22
The connection between faith and works lies at the very heart of the letter of James. The author of this short epistle is concerned not only with what we as followers of Christ believe but also how those beliefs shape our behaviors and actions. James understood that a confession of faith in Christ must be reflected in our daily lives- influencing the choices we make, the things we say, the priorities we pursue, the people with whom we align ourselves, and the way we respond to temptation. James’ words read like a collection of wisdom instructions and includes practical advice for putting our faith into action. James writes to encourage believers to demonstrate actions that will prove- to ourselves and to a watching world- that our faith is genuine and sincere.
