Life Groups
Life Groups are relationally driven and smaller expressions of our church family, and they typically meet the first 3 weeks of the month. Life Groups connect with and pray for one another and discuss Sunday's teaching.
If you would like help with finding a group, please don't hesitate to contact us.
TRIPODS are smaller gatherings designed to foster deeper, Jesus-centered friendships. Take a look at the Tripods page to learn more.

Welcome. Life groups are relationally driven! We hope to be a place to share both the difficult and satisfying (though these are not necessarily mutually exclusive!) parts of living life before God and each other. We want to learn to stay connected in times of pain and dance on the table with joyful discovery. Children are welcome.
Elizabeth and Richard are a blended family with 9 adult children. It hasn't always been a walk in the park, but seeing God move and draw close and redeem makes it worthwhile. We enjoy being outside, camping, kayaking, and ebiking. While Richard likes to exercise, Elizabeth prefers to sit with a cat nearby and just imagine. (Richard would like to be free enough to dance on the table!)
​
Tim and Sara Mack, our wonderful family, are creative and gifted explorers of life with kids, homeschooling, skateboarding, and arranging and rearranging living spaces.

Shane is a musician, Star Wars Fan, and parent of a 12-year-old boy, Liam. He's also a scientist who plays drums. Shane and Liam recently lost their amazing wife and mom Tracie through brain cancer, and life group (which Tracie loved) has been one of the ways they've experienced God's love and care in tangible ways. They're excited to keep growing as a group of people who share each other's joys and sorrows, daily life and life's big moments.
Life group is a place where we have fun, build authentic relationships, and grow spiritually. We are a multi-generational group, all learning how to live and love like Jesus.
​
Children are welcome, though space is limited, so please let Shane know if you plan on bringing the littles.
