Sample Covenant Groups
What if you could get to know a small group of people in the church and get to know them more deeply? Covenant groups are designed to allow such opportunities. A full covenant group program is in development to begin in Fall 2012, and we are offering sample, drop-in groups throughout the spring. Each month will have a different topic for sharing and growth. Led by Jessica Gray.

Harvest the Power
Harvest the Power provides leadership skill development that goes hand-in-hand with faith development.

This program is intended for those who would like to get more engaged in the church as well as those already in leadership positions.

A concurrent children’s program will be offered.
