Growth Groups

Growth Groups provide a dedicated space for adults to come together in faith and fellowship, offering a meaningful opportunity to delve into scripture and faith questions. Some groups examine the teachings from the previous Sunday’s message engaging in a thoughtful exploration of scripture passages, fostering discussions that encompass not only the scriptures themselves but also the sermon’s insights. Other groups use traditional bibles study and other resources to explore the intersection of life and faith.

There are several Growth Groups that meet during the week, typically in the fall and spring months.

Bible Studies

FALL BIBLE STUDY: Unafraid by Adam Hamilton

Led by Sue Butner, this study meets Mondays, 6:00–7:30 p.m., beginning September 28, in the Conference Room (FH20).

In Unafraid: Living with Courage and Hope in Uncertain Times, Adam Hamilton explores the fears that often shape our lives and how God's promises can help us live with courage, peace, and hope. Through Scripture, discussion, and reflection, you'll discover practical ways to trust God in the midst of life's uncertainties.

Join us as we grow in faith, encourage one another, and learn to live unafraid. Books are available online through Cokesbury, Christianbook, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.

FALL BOOK STUDY: Revolution of Values: Reclaiming Public Faith for the Common Good  by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove 

Led by Retired pastor Rev. Randy Smith, this study meets Sundays, 5:00-6:30 pm beginning September 27, in the Conference Room (FH20)

The religious Right taught America to misread the Bible. Christians have misused Scripture to consolidate power, stoke fears, and defend against enemies. But people who have been hurt by the attacks of Christian nationalism can help us rediscover God's vision for faith in public life.

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove explores how religious culture wars have misrepresented Christianity at the expense of the poor, and how listening to marginalized communities can help us hear God's call to love and justice in the world. He highlights people on the frontlines of issues ranging from immigration policy and voting rights to women's rights and environmental stewardship. Through these narratives, we encounter a recovery of values that upholds the dignity of all people.

Rediscover hope for faithful public witness that serves the common good. Join the revolution.

Books are available in stores and at online retailers.
