During the Sundays of Lent, Feb. 22 - March 29, we will listen in on important conversations Jesus had with people and be invited to cultivate a heart that seeks God first, to serve our neighbors, and to embrace the transformative power of God’s Spirit.

These conversations with Jesus make Lent a time of spiritual preparation for Easter. It is not about accomplishing more, but about noticing God’s work in our lives and opening ourselves to transformation.

Series Discussion Groups

In sharing our faith and struggles with others we can always discover more together.  There are several opportunities each week to jump into discussion with others surrounding the scriptures and messages.

    • Sunday, 10:10 a.m. - Pastor Steve will lead the weekly discussion going deeper into the texts and we will break into smaller table groups for closer discussion. 
    • Wednesday, 7:15 p.m. - Following Wednesday Evening Echo Worship, Adults who are not part of our Mentor Ministry can gather in the small Chapel (Rm. 217)
    • Thursday Afternoons - gather at the church each Thursday afternoon.
    • Wednesday 6:30 a.m. - The early morning Men's Breakfast group digs into the Sunday worship content the week before each segment; not after like most groups.
    • Families & Friends! - Really! You don't need a special group or leader; the study guide has everything you need to sit down with a family member, talk around the dinner table, or chat with friends. 


Growing Faith - Connecting Community

Lent Mentor Ministry

Each Wednesday evening adults & youth share in conversation about life and faith to better connect our community and discover more together about Christ and ourselves. 

You do NOT need to know all the answers;  just be willing to listen!
