Mission Statement
Our mission is to build strong families together in a safe
and supportive community in Christ.
We Value...
Safety: We only heal and grow when there is spiritual &
emotional safety. We pursue an environment and culture
that is safe to all group members.
Authenticity: Growth and healing takes place when followers of Christ
are genuinely transparent with God and one another, so that His truth and grace
nourish us as we are open together.
Humility: The willingness to give and receive constructive feedback
and support is essential to our spiritual and emotional health. We seek
to be a people of humility before God and one another.
Growth: God's desire and plan is that we all become like Jesus,
putting on His character and likeness. We help one another to grow in Christ.
Small Groups Study [Spring 2010]
WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE PRAY
Prayer can change lives & circumstances like nothing else. What are the keys that unlock its power,
that turn prayer from a mere activity into a vital link with God & all His resources?
In this series, discover truths about prayer that God used to turn a tiny, struggling inner-city congregation
into a vital, thriving community of believers who pray with passion, focus & faith.
Featuring teachings by Jim Cymbala (pastor at Brooklyn Tabernacle) & video interviews of ordinary people who have received extraordinary answers to their prayers, these 6 sessions will help you pray with new confidence.
