InCommon…do you know that God made us for relationships? It’s true. God designed us to do life together. Not just accomplish tasks, but to do life with one another. That’s what Abundant Life’s Groups InCommon are all about. Whether it is a hobby, Bible study or serving together, it is life to us. Sharing it is what makes it so fulfilling.
There are 3 kinds of groups that you’ll find in this booklet:
Connection Groups: If your goal is to meet people around a common activity, these groups are for you.
Growth Groups: If your desire is to grow in your relationship with Jesus and deepen your walk with Him, these groups are for you.
Service Groups: If you’re looking for an area to volunteer in, these groups provide that opportunity. These groups are for you to enjoy but also to invite others to enjoy with you.
Why not bring a friend to your group? As you do life together you will find that everything in life is better. Check out the groups in this booklet and make some friends to enjoy life with.
In His grip,Pastor Greg

Join us as we discover the stories of the Bible. We teach students how to begin to study and understand the Bible and make the connections in the stories in the Bible back to Jesus. We believe that it is crucial for children to begin spiritual disciplines in their lives at an early age and explore and understand the love story of God. We do this through teaching and interactive activities.For 1st - 5th gradeWhen Sundays, 10:00amWhere Kirkish Hall

It is critical for Students to grow deeper in their knowledge as well as their love for the Word of God. Sunday mornings we will be having grade specific classes focused on teaching the entire Bible. We will be going through The Gospel Project, starting in Genesis. This is a time for students to grow by asking questions, studying the Word and learning how to apply it to their lives. Our hope is that in the process each student will find a deeper love for God’s Word!For Junior High and High SchoolWhen Sundays, 9amWhere Rooms 23 and 24

Have you prayed for people in need? Have you ever been prayed for? If your answer is ‘yes’ then you know the peace & healing that comes with prayer. Come join us once a month to prepare a prayer blanket (tangible gift) for those who are in need. Your first opportunity to help, is to think of someone who would benefit from such a tangible gift of love and prayers. You don’t have to know how to sew.

Individuals in our congregation alert our ministry when they need support (birth of a child, death in the family, illness etc).
