ADULTS:
Life Groups | A Family of Disciples on Mission
When you join a life group, you can expect to meet new people and find a relational environment offering helpful conversations about life and faith. None of us have life or faith figured out, but together we can share our insights and stories to help us understand better who Jesus is, who we are and how we can share Him with others. New life groups starting up in January 2021.

There are Bible studies, groups, and classes meeting virtually and in-person, as well as service and mission opportunities for you to join.

Apologetics 1
How Do We Know the Bible Is Really True?
Archaeological findings, fulfilled prophecies, extra-Biblical evidence, reliability of the Old Testament and New Testament documents- all evidence for the truthfulness of Scripture. See that Christianity is not a blind leap, but a reasoned, reasonable walk into the light. Online, Sundays, January 3 through March 7, 2021 from 10:30a-12:00p.

Worldviews: How Do I Make Sense Out of the World?
This course compares different worldviews (the basics of religions) for accuracy and consistency. Spoiler alert: among all the worldviews – deism, atheism, pantheism, new age, postmodernism, Islam (and a few more) – only a Christian worldview stands up to scrutiny.
Online, Tuesdays, January 5 through March 9, 2021 from 6:30-8p.

Men’s Breakfast | Every 3rd Saturday at Ridge Point
