Adult Options
Made To Crave -

Has food become more about frustration than fulfillment?
Made to Crave is the missing link between a woman’s desire tobe healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. This study will compliment whatever healthy eating approach you choose — a book and Bible study to help you find the “want to” in how to make healthy lifestyle changes.

Our Child Loss Support Group is dedicated to providing information about loss and grief combined with coping strategies that will be beneficial to help you along your journey.

We encourage you to share your journey with us.
Walking in the Shadows of Your Grief –

Also for those who enjoy studying the life and times of the Apostle Paul. But definitely for those who love adventure, or at least reading about it! Seafaring isn’t for the faint of heart. It wasn’t for the Apostle Paul in the first century A.D. shipwrecked, imprisoned, and often in a stranger in foreign lands.

Do you wonder how you might truly live your life as God created you to live it? Spiritual disciplines are activities that open us to God’s transforming love and the changes that only God can bring about in our lives. The choice to establish your own sacred rhythm is the most important choice you can make with your life.
Courageous –
(Book: $10.00) Facilitator: Dan Dexter
From the creators of Fireproof comes an inspiring new story about everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, and their partners willingly stand up to the worst the world can offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they’re quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark. When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God . . . and to their children?
