Time: 6:00-8:00

This Wellspring material is a precursor to the 9 month Wellspring journey, and gives a great preview of how the Wellspring material guides participants into a deeper connection with the Lord’s heart, their own heart, and the hearts of others. Through safety and connection with other women, participants will be led to engage scripture with their thoughts, feelings, deep longings, and choices letting the Holy Spirit show them areas where healing and growth is needed

Motherhood Unfiltered: Because Every Mom Needs Grace
with Becky White & Christy Taylor
Learn More Here

Dates: Sep 2, Oct 7, Nov 4, Jan 6, Feb 3, Mar 3
(first Wednesdays of the month)
Time: 6:30-8:00

Motherhood is beautiful, messy, and sometimes overwhelming and none of us were meant to walk through it alone. Motherhood Unfiltered is a community of women seeking to encourage one another, grow in faith, and point each other back to Christ through every season of motherhood. We're not here to tell you the “right" way to parent or compare parenting styles. Every family is unique, every child is different, and every mom is learning as she goes. Our desire is to offer a place for honest conversations instead of perfect pictures, compassion instead of comparison, and grace over judgment. Whether you're navigating newborn nights, toddler tantrums, school age challenges or launching your children into adulthood, you'll find a place to be seen, supported, and reminded that your identity is found in Christ - not in being the perfect mom. We hope your soul will leave refreshed!

We spend most of our waking hours working in some form or another. It may be full-time work, part-time work, housework, school work, volunteer work; the list goes on. And these hours are often the most productive hours of our lives. And yet, how often do we connect our work to our faith? How can we integrate our work into our faith so that our work becomes another means of our sanctification, of our being shaped into the image of God? Join us for a four-week connect group as we explore these and other questions related to our faith and work.

Everyday Evangelism: Helping Normal Conversations Go Somewhere
with Mike McAuliff
Learn More & Register Here
Dates: Oct 21, 28 & Nov 4
Time: 7:00

Many of us want to be faithful in evangelism, but we often feel unsure how to move ordinary conversations toward deeper spiritual things without making it feel forced or awkward. This three-week class will explore a relational approach to evangelism, beginning with 3Story, a simple framework that helps us think about how God’s story, our own story, and another person’s story connect in everyday relationships. From there, we’ll consider how to create space for meaningful conversations, whether around a table, during everyday routines, in our neighborhoods, at work, or through simple patterns of presence and welcome. We’ll also think about how listening well and asking better questions can help those conversations move with wisdom and care. The goal is to help us grow in confidence, intentionality, and love as we engage the people God has already placed in our lives.

The three weeks would likely be …
1. 3Story: Connecting God’s Story, Our Story, and Their Story
2. Creating Space: Presence, Welcome, and Everyday Evangelism
3. Listening Well: Asking Better Questions in Everyday Conversations
